Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Sucker Punch Productions announced a new gameplay deep dive video for Ghost of Yotei, coming sometime next month in July.
“Get ready for Sucker Punch to guide you through an extended look at the new open-world adventure,” the announcement teases. “The show will be focused entirely on Ghost of Yōtei, coming to PS5 on October 2. You’ll get an extended look at new and evolved gameplay mechanics, including exploration, combat, and much more.”
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a teaser trailer:
Set aside the order of the Edo period.
Become a different kind of ghost and witness a bold new story set against the stunning backdrop of northern Japan’s rugged landscapes.
Taking place 300 years after the critically acclaimed Ghost of Tsushima, this standalone experience follows a haunted, lone mercenary named Atsu in the 1600s. Thirsty for revenge, she sets out to hunt down those who killed her family many years prior.
Her quest across Ezo will take her to unexplored lands as she seeks out a gang of six outlaws. Along the way, she’ll encounter far more than she could have wagered for at the journey’s outset. Help her find unlikely allies, forge lasting bonds and build a path towards healing and redemption.
Features
