Ghost of Yōtei New Trailer

Coming on October 2, 2025

On April 23, PlayStation and Sucker Punch Productions unveiled the release date for Ghost of Yōtei through a captivating trailer titled "The Onryō’s List". This trailer not only sets the stage for the game's narrative but also gives fans a glimpse of what to expect from the gameplay. The story follows Atsu, who is on a quest for vengeance against the Yōtei Six—a notorious group of outlaws responsible for her family's murder. The members of this group include The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito.

Set 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yōtei is a standalone sequel that promises a wealth of new features, including an array of new weapons and mechanics, building on the acclaimed foundation of its predecessor.

Hunt Down The Yōtei Six Your Way

In Ghost of Yōtei, players have the freedom to hunt down the Yōtei Six in any order they choose, allowing for a personalized path of revenge. Sucker Punch detailed these features and more on the PlayStation.blog on April 23, highlighting how Atsu's journey will unfold across the open world of Ezo, which is present-day Hokkaido.

The game introduces an evolved open-world exploration system, offering more freedom and variety than ever before. Beyond the main quest of hunting the Yōtei Six, players can track other dangerous targets, claim bounties, and seek out weapon sensei to learn new skills. Familiar activities from the original game, such as the "Guiding Wind," return, alongside a new mechanic allowing players to build campfires anywhere in the open world. The developers are keen on providing a vast and immersive experience, focusing on player choice and freedom in Ezo.
