Ghost of Yotei is the next entry in Sucker Punch’s Ghosts series
To close out Sony’s State of Play presentation, Sucker Punch debuted a first look at the next game in its award-winning Ghosts series. Dubbed Ghost of Yotei, players will inhabit a new female protagonist named Atsu, who wields a shamisen in addition to a samurai’s traditional sword. According to the trailer description, Atsu will travel the wilds around Mount Yotei accompanied by a mysterious wolf companion.
Sucker Punch Studios, the developers behind the Sly Cooper and Infamous series, released Ghosts of Tsushima back in 2020. The game was praised for its quiet, contemplative moments as much as it’s Akira Kurosawa-style samurai action. Earlier this year, Sucker Punch released a PC port of Tsushima and confirmed that a movie based on the game is in the works, with John Wick director Chad Stahelski tapped to lead the project.
In the blog post announcing the game, Sony stated that Ghost of Yotei was Sucker Punch’s first game built specifically around the PS5. According to the developers, Ghost of Yotei will offer the same kind of beautiful observation moments as its predecessor while adding new features as well.
“We have massive sightlines that let you look far across the environment, whole new skies featuring twinkling stars and auroras, even more believable movement from wind on grass and vegetation,” said Andrew Goldfarb, communications manager at Sucker Punch. “Our new setting also gives us the opportunity to introduce new mechanics, gameplay improvements, and even new weapons.”
Sony didn’t share release date details, only pegging the game to a 2025 release window.
