Ghost Of Yōtei: Anyone who has played Ghost Of Tsushima knows how visually stunning and captivating the game was, and now its fans are counting days for the release of its sequel, Ghost Of Yōtei, the release of which is coming closer. The game is set to be released on October 2, 2025, on PlayStation 5 consoles. This new saga will take you back to feudal Japan with a story that runs on a quest for revenge, according to a report by Rolling Stone. This open-world game by Sucker Punch studio will take you on a journey through feudal Japan.
What Will You Get To See This Time?
This time it's time to step into the shoes of a mercenary known as Atsu, who is out on a quest for revenge against the Yōtei, who are six masked outlaws who are responsible for the demise of her family. To fulfil her destiny of revenge, Atsu takes on the role as the "Ghost", as per Screenrant.
The game takes you to Ezo during the 1600s and is studded with rugged terrain. There are varied terrains from snow-capped settings to cloudy forests and even hot springs.
The game, like its predecessor, will sport an open-world setting, which has become the norm these days and gives a more refreshing experience than anything that follows a linear progression. Players will also have the option to choose which one of the six Yōteis they want to face off against first.
Is There Anything New?
The action and combat would remain the same, but you will be introduced to new weapons and newer gameplay mechanics to keep you on the edge. You will be able to wield two katanas and ōdachi, a heavy weapon, and you will also get a grappling hook that will aid in your exploration through cliffs and downed trees, according to a report from Rolling Stone.
