During the State of Play event that took place last night, Sony officially announced the launch of the sequel to the famous game Ghost of Tsushima entitled Ghost of Yotei. The Ghost of Yotei announcement trailer can also be seen on Sony PlayStation’s YouTube account.
This sequel will introduce a new main character named Atsu. Atsu’s adventure will take place in a new area of Japan filled with vast grasslands and snowy tundra, promising a more visually stunning experience.
1. Announcement Trailer Ghost of Yotei
The trailer shows some interesting footage and has stunning cinematography. The announcement of Ghost of Yotei was the last announcement at the State of Play event, which surprised many gamers.
From the trailer released, the game is set in 1603, about 300 years after the events that took place in Ghost of Tsushima. Therefore, instead of being a sequel, this game is more appropriate as a new story within the same universe.
According to the developers, one of the significant improvements in Ghost of Yotei is the vastly improved visual quality. The game will feature vast landscapes with auroras and stars, which create a stunning night atmosphere.
In addition, the environments in this game are depicted with more detail and realism, providing a completely different visual experience for players. This makes Ghost of Yotei one of the games that fans are most looking forward to.
As the name implies, the game will be set in the Yotei mountains that are now part of modern-day Hokkaido. The main character in this game is not Jin Sakai.
Players will take on the role of Atsu, a fugitive pursued by all the Ronin in Yotei. The reason behind Atsu’s journey is still unclear, but it is certain that the story will focus on this character’s journey.
2. Release Schedule
Sucker Punch, as the developer, confirmed that this is the first game they are developing specifically for the PlayStation 5 console, so it is certain that this game will not be released for PlayStation 4.
In addition, the new game will introduce innovative mechanics, improvements in gameplay, as well as a variety of new weapon types not found in the previous game. However, further details regarding these are still unknown.
The game is planned for release in 2025, although there is currently no firm release date. However, thanks to the latest graphics technology and an exciting new narrative, Ghost of Yotei hopes to continue the success of its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima, which has been recognized as one of the best games in recent years.
