Ghost of Yotei Under Critique
A Japanese scholar has pointed out a major historical inaccuracy in Ghost of Yotei, specifically regarding the mountain now known as Mount Yotei, which had a different name in 1603. This revelation not only raises questions about the game's authenticity but also suggests a deeper narrative choice made by the developers.
Context Behind the Inaccuracy
Announced during the September 2024 State of Play, Ghost of Yotei is set over 300 years after its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima. The game follows Atsu, the new protagonist, as she embarks on a journey through a part of Japan now recognized as Hokkaido.
