The official PlayStation page for Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Yotei has seen some updates, providing a few new details. While it’s known that the sequel takes place 300 years after Ghost of Tsushima with a new protagonist named Atsu, the latter has risen from the “ashes of her homestead” to hunt those who killed her family.
She takes on various jobs and bounties for money and revenge. However, it notes her fighting style, means of survival, and the evolution of the Ghost’s legend will “be up to you.” It reinforces the “greater control” over the story promised by the developer (who also wants to avoid the repetitive nature of open-world titles).
Gameplay-wise, the page reaffirmed that players can use dual katana in combat alongside “new mechanics” and “gameplay improvements.” You can also wield brand-new weapon types, like the ōdachi and kusarigama.
Ghost of Yotei doesn’t have a release date, but it’s out this year for PS5. It will also feature “enhanced performance and visuals” on PS5 Pro. Stay tuned for more details and updates en route to its release.
