Get ready, gamers! Sucker Punch Productions has officially set the stage for the much-awaited 'Ghost of Yotei', launching exclusively on PlayStation 5 on October 2, 2025. This news comes almost five years after their hit title 'Ghost of Tsushima' set the gaming world ablaze.

In an exciting twist, 'Ghost of Yotei' promises an all-new, standalone narrative, leaving behind Jin Sakai’s legacy to introduce us to the fierce and determined warrior Atsu. Steering away from the established storyline, players will embark on a fresh journey filled with intrigue and vengeance.

Meet Atsu: A Warrior on a Vengeful Quest

The newly released trailer, intriguingly titled “The Onryō's List,” dives deep into Atsu’s heart-wrenching past. Sixteen years ago, in Ezo (today’s Hokkaido), the notorious Yōtei Six mercilessly slaughtered her family and left her for dead. Driven by vengeance, Atsu has spent years mastering the skills of combat and assassination, returning home with the very katana that once held her in a burning, anguishing fate.

Now, with a list of six names — The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito — Atsu sets out for retribution, but her journey may lead her to something even more profound than revenge. The developers hint at unforgettable alliances and new discoveries as she navigates the stunning landscapes of Ezo.

An Open World Worth Exploring

'Ghost of Yotei' is set to enhance the open-world experience established in 'Ghost of Tsushima,' giving players unprecedented freedom to choose their quests and decide how to tackle their adversaries. Will you chase down The Snake first or take on The Oni?

Atsu will take on bounty hunts and seek out skilled masters to expand her arsenal. The vibrant yet treacherous terrain of Ezo promises a mix of intense battles and tranquil moments, complete with the ability to set up camp anywhere — a feature many fans are sure to love.

Pre-Order Perks Galore!

Mark your calendars for May 2nd, as pre-orders for 'Ghost of Yotei' will officially kick off! Gamers will have various editions to choose from, including an eagerly awaited Collector’s Edition packed with exclusive collectibles.

All pre-orders, regardless of the edition, will come with an exclusive in-game mask and a set of seven PSN avatars inspired by Atsu and the members of the Yōtei Six. If you order from the PlayStation Store, you’ll gain immediate access to these avatars.
