    Ghost of Yōtei Launches in October, Collector’s Edition Features Stunning Extras

    Following the critically acclaimed Ghost of Tsushima in 2020, Ghost of Yōtei has generated major buzz since its surprise reveal during last September’s PlayStation State of Play. Set 300 years after the original, this new open-world samurai adventure introduces players to Atsu, a lone warrior navigating a harsh northern Japan.

    While developer Sucker Punch Productions remained largely silent after the announcement, that changed today with the unveiling of new gameplay details—alongside a confirmed release date of October 2, 2025. Fans eager to return to Sucker Punch’s visually rich vision of feudal Japan can now mark their calendars.

    Ghost of Yōtei will launch with multiple editions:

    • Standard Edition ($69.99): Includes the full game.

    • Digital Deluxe Edition ($79.99): Adds exclusive content like the Snake Armor, custom horse and saddle, armor dye, a sword kit, an early unlock of the Traveler’s Map, and a gameplay-enhancing charm.

    • Collector’s Edition ($249.99): Comes packed with all Digital Deluxe bonuses plus a digital game copy and premium physical items—such as a katana tsuba, wearable sash, art cards, a papercraft ginkgo tree, and a Zeni Hajiki coin game in a collectible pouch.

    Whether you’re here for the story, the style, or the swordplay, Ghost of Yōtei looks poised to deliver an unforgettable journey.

    Summary: Ghost of Yōtei is a standalone action-adventure set more than 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima, transporting players to the breathtaking and untamed landscapes of 17th-century northern Japan. You play as Atsu, a lone mercenary haunted by the past. Sixteen years after her family’s murder, she begins a journey of vengeance across the rugged region of Ezo, seeking out six infamous outlaws responsible for her pain. But revenge is only the beginning. Along the way, Atsu will forge unexpected bonds, uncover forgotten truths, and face choices that could define her legacy. Explore the wild beauty surrounding Mount Yōtei—from windswept grasslands and snowy ridges to vibrant fields of wildflowers. Travel on horseback, rest in mountain hot springs, and engage in culturally rich activities like shrine visits, sumi-e painting, and onsen bathing. Combat is visceral and grounded in renegade bushido. Wield powerful weapons such as dual katanas, odachi, and kusarigama, learning new techniques from skilled sensei as you forge your own path. Choose your tactics and strike with precision in cinematic duels and chaotic skirmishes. Ghost of Yōtei is more than a quest for vengeance—it's an emotional journey through grief, honor, and healing in a world where every blade carries a story.
