Let's dive into the details about the game's launch and the exciting 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, the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, will hit the shelves on October 2, 2025. The new trailer, aptly named "The Onryō’s List," was unveiled on April 23, giving fans a glimpse of the game's rich narrative and dynamic gameplay. The trailer concludes with the much-anticipated release date.

In Ghost of Yōtei, players follow the journey of Atsu, set in the historical region of Ezo (present-day Hokkaido). Her quest for vengeance leads her to confront the notorious Yōtei Six—a group of outlaws responsible for the murder of her family. Atsu's mission is to hunt down each member: The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and the leader, Lord Saito.

This standalone sequel takes place 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima. Sucker Punch has promised a host of new features, including an array of new weapons and enhanced mechanics, building on the foundation laid by its predecessor.

Hunt Down The Yōtei Six Your Way

One of the standout features of Ghost of Yōtei is the freedom it offers players in pursuing the Yōtei Six. You can choose the order in which you confront these villains, crafting your unique path of revenge. Sucker Punch elaborated on these features in a detailed post on PlayStation.blog on April 23, discussing how Atsu's journey will unfold.

The game introduces an evolved open-world exploration system, providing players with even more freedom and variety than in Ghost of Tsushima. Beyond the main quest, players can engage in various activities in Ezo, such as tracking down other dangerous targets, collecting bounties, and seeking out weapon sensei to learn new skills.

While exploring, fans will encounter familiar elements like the beloved "Guiding Wind" mechanic, alongside a new feature that allows players to set up campfires anywhere in the open world. The emphasis on player freedom and exploration is a core focus for the developers, who are eager to share more details in the coming months.
