Ghost of Tsushimawas an outstanding biz to terminate thePS4 generationwith . Sucker Punch chose to pivot to a new IP far disunite from its past ill-famed or Sly Cooper games and focalize on a more grounded and historically influenced game about the Mongol invasion of the island of Tsushima . by nature , we all expected a prolongation of the story since that was just one small component of that conflict . Indeed , a sequel will be anupcoming video game , but not in the path we all expected . Ghost of Yoteihas been revealedand is making some big changes , but also holding reliable to what Sucker Punch believes to be the core of the series . Similar toDeath Stranding 2 : On the BeachandMarvel ’s Wolverine , we have a lot leave to detect about this unexampled biz . Let ’s be the wind together to find out all we can about thisupcoming PS5 secret plan .

There ’s a chanceGhost of Yoteiwill also be anupcoming personal computer game , but you wo n’t find it on a list ofupcoming Xbox Series X gamesorupcoming Switch secret plan .

Release date

Sony dropped a new trailer with no warning on April 23 that revealedGhost of Yotei‘s release engagement of October 2 , 2025 .

Platforms

This almost move without saying , butGhost of Yoteiwill be a PlayStation 5 exclusive . At least , it will be at launching . As we recognize , PlayStation has gotten into a regular musical rhythm of releasing even its prime single - player games on PC a twelvemonth or more after its console table release . While we expect this to be truthful forGhost of Yotei , nothing is sealed until PlayStation officially confirms it , but it should be somewhat good to assume this game will come to microcomputer at some point after that one - year mark .

Trailers

The first drone forGhost of Yoteiwas the promulgation prevue that was the big surprise closer for the September 2024 State of Play .

The trailer instantly set the tone with bootleg - and - blank imagery of the raw landscape and a representative - over build enounce , “ We are beyond the border of Japan , ” and let on the Modern stage setting of Mount Yotei , 1603 . From here , we are introduced to our novel protagonist hinge on through vibrant and vast vistas even more beautiful than the first game . The trailer ’s climax reveals that our raw sub is , in fact , a woman as she tolerate off with a wolf . let down her steel , the two look to the horizon as a intimate blow of wind pushes them onward .

An accompanying PlayStation Blog post reveal that our new Ghost is named Atsu , but hold any additional secret plan details secret for now , except for the fact that it will be an original history . Being over 300 years since the events of the first game , it is n’t likely that Mongols will return as the main antagonists , and instead the story will boast a Modern menace .

We also learned that Atsu will be on a quest for retaliation against those who down her family . She will do Job along the way of life to bring in the money to fund her journey .

The Onryo ’s listing trailer shows the incident in question where a group killed Atsu ’s family line and left her for dead . Besides more gameplay , we also see that there will be moment where we are transported back to Atsu ’s past tense to get word more about her story and the consequence that leave up to her family ’s execution .

There are six targets Atsu will be hunting , each go away by a codename : The Snake , The Oni , The Kitsune , The Spider , The Dragon , and Lord Saito .

Gameplay

There were bits and pieces of what look like gameplay in the initial preview , though it can be tough to tell apart since we expect the game to stay very light on HUD elements like the first game . However , we make out that riding cavalry and explore a range of environments , from gay fields to snowy mountains , will be back and more detailed than before .

With six primary targets , the game will allow players to explore and follow whatever conduct they choose to find any of the killers they choose .

duel also seem to be back , but we do n’t see any actual combat , traversal , or stealth just yet . Those mechanic are not only expect but likely improved and lucubrate upon . The blog billet only vaguely suggests thatGhost of Yoteiwill “ introduce new mechanics , gameplay improvement , and even new weapons . ” A few of those weapon we do get a glimpse of , such as a rifle and kusarigama .

Other official information confirms that new weapon introduced will be the odachi , kurasigama we take down earlier , and dual katanas .

The second house trailer showed off more gameplay with those weapons , as well as a lance . That wolf we learn does look to be some form of fellow , though it is unclear just how it works . All we distinguish was an instance of it attacking an foe in the snow , perhaps indicating that we will be able-bodied to dominate it to attack enemies so we can finish them off .

Platforming is back , with a rassling bait , slide , and rope walk .

There is also the tease of other activities fall fromTsushima , plus new ones like bring in ingroup wherever you wish to stargaze and recover .
