Details About Ghost of Yotei that are Known

Ghost of Yotei Game Plot

The trailer reveals the plot: the protagonist, Atsu, will take revenge. She will have to find the six bandits who killed her family and left her for dead. In a post on the PlayStation blog, the senior communications manager also described the game’s plot:

Sixteen years ago in the heart of Ezo (called Hokkaido in present day), a gang of outlaws known as the Yōtei Six took everything from Atsu. They killed her family and left her for dead, pinned to a burning ginkgo tree outside her home. But Atsu survived. She learned to fight, to kill, and to hunt, and after years away she has returned to her home with a list of six names: The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito. 

Ghost of Yōtei will take players 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima to 1603, the Edo period in Japan. The action will occur in the Ezo region (now known as Hokkaido), around Mount Yōtei, a real-life volcano resembling Mount Fuji. At the time, the area was outside the control of central Japan, making it a wild and uncharted land. 

Notably, the video shows both cinematic splash screens and direct gameplay. Judging from the trailer, the game will feature playable flashbacks that show Atsu as a child.

Developers at Sucker Punch have kept one of the key ideas of Ghost of Tsushima, with an abundance of beautiful landscapes in an open world that can be explored on horseback. The landscape promises to be diverse: vast grassy plains, snowy tundras, dense forests, and rugged mountain peaks. 

The Release Date of Ghost of Yotei

A story trailer for the Japanese action game Ghost of Yōtei was released on the PlayStation channel. In it, the developers finally confirmed the release date: October 2, 2025.

Pre-orders for Ghost of Yōtei will begin on May 2 at $70. The clearance will get you an in-game mask and a set of avatars for your PSN profile. 

The Deluxe edition costs $80 and includes cosmetic content: armor, a set of swordsmen, and a unique horse and saddle. Players can also buy the Collector’s Edition, which includes many themed souvenirs. These include a full-size mask, postcards, and a bag of coins.

Conclusion

There’s high hope that Ghost of Yōtei can take the next leap after Tsushima, providing the sort of step up we saw between Assassin’s Creed and Assassin’s Creed 2. Either way, we’ll be waiting for the release.
