Ghost of Yōtei New Trailer

Coming on October 2, 2025

PlayStation and Sucker Punch Productions have thrilled fans with the announcement of Ghost of Yōtei's release date. On April 23, a new trailer titled "The Onryō’s List" was released, giving us a glimpse into the game's story and some gameplay footage. The trailer concludes with the much-anticipated release date of October 2, 2025.

In Ghost of Yōtei, players will follow the journey of Atsu in the heart of Ezo (present-day Hokkaido), as she seeks vengeance against the notorious Yōtei Six, the group responsible for her family's murder. The game, set 300 years after Ghost of Tsushima, promises an engaging narrative where Atsu hunts down each member of the Yōtei Six: The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito.

Building on the success of its predecessor, Ghost of Yōtei introduces a variety of new weapons, mechanics, and features that fans are eager to explore.

Hunt Down The Yōtei Six Your Way

One of the standout features of Ghost of Yōtei is the freedom it offers players in pursuing the Yōtei Six. Sucker Punch detailed this and more in a PlayStation.blog post on April 23, emphasizing Atsu's journey and the various ways it can unfold.

The game enhances the open-world exploration experience, providing more freedom and variety than Ghost of Tsushima. Beyond the main quest of hunting the outlaws, players can engage in a range of activities in the new setting of Ezo. "Atsu can also track other dangerous targets and claim bounties, or seek out weapon sensei to learn new skills," the blog post explains.

Returning features like "Guiding Wind" will delight series fans, while a new campfire mechanic allows players to set up camp anywhere in the expansive world. The developers aim to emphasize player choice and freedom, promising more exciting updates in the coming months.
