The much-anticipated sequel to *Ghost of Tsushima*, titled *Ghost of Yōtei*, has finally unveiled its release date alongside an exciting new trailer. Dive into the details below to discover when you can experience this thrilling new chapter and explore the special editions available.
Ghost of Yōtei New Trailer
Coming on October 2, 2025
PlayStation and Sucker Punch Productions have officially announced that Ghost of Yōtei will hit the shelves on October 2, 2025. The announcement came with the release of a captivating trailer titled "The Onryō’s List" on April 23, offering fans a glimpse into the game's narrative and dynamic gameplay. The trailer culminates with the eagerly awaited release date.
Ghost of Yōtei introduces players to the gripping tale of Atsu, set in the heart of Ezo (modern-day Hokkaido). Driven by a quest for vengeance, Atsu targets the notorious Yōtei Six, a group of outlaws responsible for her family's murder and her near-death experience. Her mission is to systematically hunt down each member - The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and the formidable Lord Saito.
This standalone sequel unfolds 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima, promising an array of new weapons, innovative mechanics, and an expanded universe that builds on the legacy of its predecessor.
Hunt Down The Yōtei Six Your Way
One of the standout features of Ghost of Yōtei is the freedom it grants players in pursuing the Yōtei Six. You can choose the order in which you confront these villains, crafting a personal path of revenge. Sucker Punch Productions provided deeper insights into the game's mechanics and Atsu's journey on the PlayStation.blog on April 23.
The game offers an enhanced open-world exploration experience, significantly increasing player freedom and variety compared to Ghost of Tsushima. Beyond the main quest of tracking down the outlaws, players can engage in various activities in Ezo. As stated on the blog, "Atsu can also track other dangerous targets and claim bounties, or seek out weapon sensei to learn new skills."
Returning features like the beloved "Guiding Wind" are complemented by new mechanics, such as the ability to build campfires anywhere in the open world. The emphasis on player choice and exploration in the vast landscapes of Ezo is a core focus for the developers, who are eager to reveal more in the coming months.
