After finishing Ghost of Tsushima, players craving a similar experience can try out a few of these games that share comparable attributes.

Set 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yotei will follow new protagonist Atsu in the year 1603. In the game, players will explore a region of Japan known as Ezo. Sucker Punch has teased "massive sightlines" for the game world, improved graphics across the board, new gameplay mechanics, and much more. The trailer gives players a brief look at what to expect from Ghost of Yotei, but it's clear that a lot more is left to be revealed.

Ghost of Yotei Coming to PS5 in 2025

A specific release date for Ghost of Yotei was not announced in the trailer, but a vague 2025 release window was confirmed for the open world game. Sucker Punch said that it has "much more to share" in the months ahead, so fans should definitely keep an eye out for more information on the game's story and how it will shake up the Ghost of Tsushima gameplay formula.

It will definitely be interesting to see how PlayStation fans react to Ghost of Yotei. Setting the game 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima is a risky move, especially since it means leaving protagonist Jin Sakai behind. Ghost of Tsushima's Jin Sakai was hugely popular, and it remains to be seen what fans think of new hero Atsu. What's been shown of Ghost of Yotei so far looks absolutely stunning, though, and it will be exciting to see the first-ever Sucker Punch game built from the ground-up with PlayStation 5 hardware in mind. And with the PS5 Pro on the horizon, one has to imagine exactly how Ghost of Yotei will leverage the power behind that new system as well.
