PlayStation has released the announcement trailer for the sequel to that incredible samurai action-adventure video game Ghost of TsushimaThe sequel is titled Ghost of Yoteiand is developed by Sucker Punch Productions.
The game will follow a new character named Atsu and feature a completely new and original story. It has also been revealed that the game will debut in 2025.
The original game, Ghost of Tsushimafollows Jin Sakai, a samurai on a mission to protect the island of Tsushima during the first Mongol invasion of Japan. Jin must choose between following the warrior’s code to fight honorably or using practical but dishonorable methods to repel the Mongols with minimal casualties.
It’s a truly visually stunning game and it looks like this sequel will live up to the high standards set by the original game.
In Ghost of Yotei: “Atsu’s journey takes place in 1603, more than 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushimaand is set in the lands surrounding Mount Yōtei, a towering peak in the heart of Ezo, an area of Japan now known as Hokkaido.
“In 1603, this area was outside the dominion of Japan, and filled with endless grasslands, snowy tundras, and unexpected dangers. It’s a far cry from the organized samurai clans that lived in Tsushima, and it’s the setting for an original story we can’t wait to tell.”
Sucker Punch Productions communications manager Andrew Goldfarb said in a statement: “When we set out to make a new ‘Ghost’ game, we wanted to maintain the core pillars established in ‘Ghost of Tsushima’: playing as a wandering warrior in feudal Japan, offering the freedom to explore at your own pace, and showcasing the beauty of the world. We also wanted to continue to innovate.
“To create something new yet familiar, we looked beyond the story of Jin Sakai and the island of Tsushima, and shifted our focus to the idea of ’Ghost.’
“At Sucker Punch, we love origin stories and wanted to explore what it might mean to have a new hero don a Ghost mask and uncover a new legend. That led us to ‘Ghost of Yōtei’: a new protagonist, a new story to unfold, and a new region of Japan to explore.”
