Exciting news for fans of the Ghost series: the release date for *Ghost of Yōtei*, the much-anticipated sequel to *Ghost of Tsushima*, has been unveiled, along with a captivating new trailer. Dive into the details about the game's launch date, and explore the offerings of its digital deluxe and collector’s editions.

Ghost of Yōtei New Trailer

Coming on October 2, 2025

PlayStation and Sucker Punch Productions have officially announced that Ghost of Yōtei will hit the shelves on October 2, 2025. A thrilling new trailer titled "The Onryō’s List" was released on April 23, providing fans with a deeper look into the game's narrative and gameplay. This trailer not only showcased the intense story of revenge but also ended with the confirmation of the eagerly awaited release date.

Ghost of Yōtei follows the journey of Atsu, set in the historical region of Ezo (modern-day Hokkaido), as she seeks vengeance against the notorious Yōtei Six. This group of outlaws, responsible for the murder of her family, includes members known as The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and their leader, Lord Saito. Atsu's mission is to track down and confront each of these adversaries one by one.

As a standalone sequel set 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yōtei builds on its predecessor's success by introducing new weapons, mechanics, and features, all of which have been detailed by the developers earlier this year.

Hunt Down The Yōtei Six Your Way

One of the standout features of Ghost of Yōtei is the freedom it grants players in pursuing the Yōtei Six. Whether you choose to hunt them down in a specific order or take a more flexible approach, the game accommodates your strategy. Sucker Punch elaborated on this aspect in their April 23 post on PlayStation.blog, highlighting Atsu’s journey and the dynamic gameplay elements.

The sequel promises an evolved open-world experience, offering more freedom and variety than ever before. Beyond the main quest of vengeance, players can engage in various activities in Ezo, such as tracking other dangerous targets, claiming bounties, and learning new skills from weapon sensei. Familiar features like the "Guiding Wind" return, and a new campfire-building mechanic allows players to rest and strategize anywhere in the open world. The developers emphasize the importance of player choice and freedom in the vast landscapes of Ezo, with more details to be shared in the coming months.
