PlayStation hits of 2020 Ghost of Tsushima A sequel is coming with a new protagonist, era, and scenario. Ghost of Yotei Heading to PlayStation 5 in 2025.
Ghost of Yotei It features a new ghost, Atsu, who is traveling through the land at the base of Mount Yotei in Ezo – modern-day Hokkaido – in 1603. This means the sequel is set 300 years after the events of Tsushimawhich focused on the Mongol invasion of that region. In 1603, Yotei was not under Japanese rule, and the debut trailer features vast, untouched grasslands, snowy forests, and sun-drenched mountains dotted with wildflowers, with a cool breeze blowing through every scene. The music in the trailer has a distinct cowboy twang, especially when Atsu interacts with the wild horses. She also meets a wolf, which is cool.
On the PlayStation Blog, Sucker Punch noted that Yotei was not home to organized samurai clans like Tsushima, and said this formed the basis for the sequel's new, original story.
This is the first game that Sucker Punch has made for the PS5.
