Ghost of Yōtei - Secondary

About This Game

Ghost of Yōtei is an upcoming 2025 action-adventure game developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It is a standalone sequel to the 2020 game Ghost of Tsushima.

The game is scheduled to release for the PlayStation 5 on October 2, 2025.

Gameplay
The game follows a third-person perspective and combines sword fighting, stealth, and exploration. Players can wield a diverse arsenal of weapons, such as a traditional katana (including dual wielding), tanegashima, ōdachi, yari, kusarigama, and the traditional kaginawa (grappling hook), enabling varied tactical approaches. New features include dynamic weather effects such as snow, rain, and auroras inspired by the real environment around Mount Yōtei.

Additionally, a flexible, non-linear quest structure allows players to choose the order in which they confront the Yōtei Six, fostering emergent narrative paths and player-driven momentum. Players will also be able to take on side missions, similar to the first game, with new content such as hunting outlaws for bounty rewards. Several side activities are available to players; bathing in an onsen and cutting bamboo strikes both return from Tsushima, alongside new activities including sumi-e painting and setting up campsites.
