Game Rant - Ghost of Yōtei The sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, Sucker Punch's Ghost of Yōtei is a PS5 exclusive scheduled to drop at some point in 2025. Taking place in 1603, the story will feature a new protagonist and a new Japanese region that is far removed from Tsushima's setting.Mon, 03 Feb 2025 21:00:14 GMTen-UShourly60Ghost of Yotei has proven to be quite a surprise among fans of its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima, for its unabashed willingness to leave Jin Sakai behind and replace him with a brand-new protagonist, Atsu. This might be disappointing to those who were looking forward to continuing Jin's story, but it also means Sucker Punch's Ghost franchise can further expand on the Ghost persona in a way it might not have been able to with only Jin behind the mask. This is especially true of Atsu, given what has been revealed so far about her story in Ghost of Yotei.]]>Mon, 03 Feb 2025 21:00:14 GMT/ghost-of-yotei-atsu-underdog-vengeance-character-persona-evolution/There are obviously a lot of changes Sucker Punch's Ghost of Yotei is introducing to the Ghost of Tsushima formula, with its shift to a brand-new protagonist arguably being the clearest sign of these changes. While the developer has confirmed various elements of Ghost of Yotei that will differ from Ghost of Tsushima, like its open-world approach and its increased emphasis on player agency, the introduction of a brand-new protagonist to the franchise is still perhaps its biggest leap, as this more than likely means an entirely different personal narrative for the lead character and potentially even a considerable evolution of Tsushima's gameplay.]]>Sat, 01 Feb 2025 21:00:13 GMT/ghost-of-yotei-atsu-fighting-style-underdog-vengeance-quest/The natural world played a pivotal role in Ghost of Tsushima. The wind led players to their objective, birds flew high in the skies above, whales filled the shores surrounding the island, oxen pulled carts, and bears and boars roamed the wilderness. This abundance of nature helped to make Ghost of Tsushima's world feel like a living and breathing place, and Ghost of Yotei looks to be carrying forward that same strength.]]>Thu, 30 Jan 2025 19:45:06 GMT/ghost-of-yotei-wolf-companion-tsushima-dog-foxes-birds-open-world/Ghost of Yotei, the long-awaited follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima, is shaping up to be one of the biggest PlayStation first-party games of not just 2025, but the entire PlayStation 5 console generation. Announced during a State of Play in September 2024, the highly-anticipated open-world game is being developed by the Sony-owned studio Sucker Punch Productions, which is making its first-ever title from the ground up for PS5 hardware.

This new take on long-range combat for the series was one of the standout reveals in the game's announcement trailer, and developer Sucker Punch will hopefully reveal more info about these weapons soon. Until then, Ghost of Yoteibringing guns to the forefront raises plenty of questions about how in-depth their mechanics might be.]]>Wed, 29 Jan 2025 11:00:30 GMT/ghost-of-yotei-last-of-us-gun-customization-inspiration/While a direct sequel to Ghost of Tsushima starring its protagonist, Jin Sakai, might have been an ideal direction for the series to go in some respects, it is nevertheless headed the way of a full-blown franchise dedicated to the concept of the Ghost rather than one character, with Ghost of Yotei leading the charge as the first game to lay down that road. Jin Sakai has undoubtedly proven to be a noteworthy protagonist in many ways, driven by a past filled with regret and a future fueled by a strong desire to protect his loved ones at all costs, even if it means sacrificing his morals to do so.]]>Tue, 28 Jan 2025 18:15:14 GMT/ghost-yotei-atsu-tsushima-jin-complex-protagonist/Ghost of Yotei is sitting on the horizon, as the anticipated successor to Ghost of Tsushima is one of the many titles set to make 2025 a busy year for gaming.
