New Directions in Ghost Of Yōtei for PS5

Sony has confirmed that instead of Ghost Of Tsushima 2, we are getting a sequel that stars a new female character and is set 300 years later in Japanese history.

Although its existence has been obvious for years, Sony finally announced Ghost Of Yōtei as a follow-up to the 2020 hit. This game will feature a different setting and characters with much to explore in this new installment.

Setting and Story

Ghost Of Yōtei takes place in the year 1603, contrasting the original’s 1274 timeline. The trailer hints at a narrative focused on a mysterious mask-wearing woman pursued by rōnin for undisclosed reasons.

• Mount Yōtei, an inactive volcano on Hokkaido, will likely be a significant part of the game’s open world.
• None of the original Ghost Of Tsushima characters are expected to return.
• This sequel is positioned later in Japanese history, bringing Western-made guns into gameplay dynamics, as seen in the trailer.

While the specifics remain limited, the graphics are already receiving acclaim, continuing the legacy of the original PlayStation 4 game known for its stunning visuals.

Anticipations for Gameplay Innovations

The PlayStation Blog mentions the protagonist's name is Atsu. The area known as Ezo back then will be explored through diverse terrains filled with challenges.

• New mechanics, gameplay enhancements, and weapons are promised by developer Sucker Punch.
• Although slated for release next year, it’s probable the game will launch at the end of 2025.

Expectations are high as players await further insights on why Atsu is being hunted.
