Sony and Sucker Punch Productions have announced that Ghost of Yōtei, the eagerly awaited sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, launches on October 2nd for PS5. A new trailer outlines protagonist Atsu’s backstory as she hunts for the Yōtei Six in Ezo before it became Hokkaido. Check it out below.
After the gang destroyed her home, slaughtered her family and left her for dead, Atsu embarks on a journey of revenge. While utilizing a katana, she can also dual-wield blades, and harness new weapons like the kusarigama and spear. The wolf seen in the last trailer can also attack enemies while the Ghost’s grappling hook returns.
Interestingly, the trailer concludes with Atsu “going home,” seemingly re-experiencing her past. Perhaps this provides more context on what led to the Yōtei Six attacking her family.
Ghost of Yōtei will be available exclusively for PS5 when it launches later this year. It will support the PS5 Pro on day one. Stay tuned for more details and updates.
