Ghost of Yotei
The sequel to the cult Ghost of Tsushima — Ghost of Yotei — is due out in 2025, and new plot details are finally known.
The updated official website of the game confirmed part of the plot, the main character, and even new weapons. PlayStation is revealing more information ahead of this year’s release, which even the PS boss is looking forward to it the most.
Ghost of Yotei will take place 300 years after the first game. Players will no longer control Jin Sakai — Atsu will be the main character. She is obsessed with the desire to avenge the death of her family:
«Filled with fury and determination, Atsu will hunt down those responsible for the death of her family and exact her revenge. Every odd job and bounty will provide the coin she needs for her journey. But how she fights, survives, and evolves the legend of the Ghost, will be up to you», — the game’s website says.
Perhaps the new setting and characters will make it possible to tell a fresh story unlike Ghost of Tsushima. Although in the first part, the protagonist is also faced with the destruction of his home and the death of many loved ones.
Ghost of Yotei is fully developed for PS5, which means improved graphics, more detailed animations, and expanded gameplay options. Atsu will be able to use new weapons that were not available in the first game, namely:
Players will also be able to explore new locations and experience realistic environmental physics. For example, «twinkling stars and aurora borealis» at night sky and vegetation that «sways in the wind» in a believable way.
The exact release date of Ghost of Yotei is not yet known, but it is expected in 2025. There is a theory that Sony avoids release at the end of the year due to the release of GTA 6. Now we just have to wait for new trailers and gameplay to understand how much the game world has changed and whether the game will be able to surpass the success of Ghost of Tsushima.
