‘Ghost of Yotei,’ sequel to ‘Ghost of Tsushima,’ announced

PlayStation has announced ‘Ghost of Yotei,’ a sequel to the hit game ‘Ghost of Tsushima’

Sucker Punch Productions has confirmed the development of “Ghost of Yotei,” the sequel to their 2020 action-adventure game, “Ghost of Tsushima.” Scheduled to debut in 2025, the new game introduces a fresh protagonist named Atsu and a brand-new storyline. The game shifts its setting to the area surrounding Mount Yotei in Ezo (now known as Hokkaido) in 1603, more than 300 years after the events of the original game.

In a PlayStation blog post, Sucker Punch Productions communications manager Andrew Goldfarb emphasized the developer's goal of innovating while maintaining the core elements that made the original successful. “We wanted to continue to innovate... we looked beyond Jin Sakai’s story and the island of Tsushima, and shifted our focus to the idea of the ‘Ghost,’” Goldfarb said, explaining the new direction of the series.

The game’s setting will be far different from the organized samurai clans of Tsushima, with players exploring a rugged and dangerous landscape. Goldfarb added, “Atsu’s journey takes place in the lands surrounding Mount Yōtei... filled with sprawling grasslands, snowy tundras, and unexpected dangers.”

The announcement was made during PlayStation’s State of Play presentation, which also revealed other upcoming releases, including “Lego Horizon Adventures” (Nov. 14) and a Digital Deluxe edition movie pack for “Sonic X Shadow Generations” (Dec. 12), with Keanu Reeves voicing Shadow. The State of Play event followed PlayStation’s unveiling of the PS5 Pro, which will launch in November.
