During the PS State of Play event in 2024, Sony announced the release of a new Ghost game by Sucker Punch, Ghost of Yōtei which is a new game set in 1603, 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima, in a different setting that surrounds Mountain Yōtei, the region that’s currently called Hokkaido, in Japan; however, the game doesn’t follow the same protagonist as the last, and we get a new interesting protagonist to our story, a woman by the name of Atsu, who replaces Jin Sikai in the series, to provide a new story and a different adventure for the players.
Prominent Changes So Far
It seems like the developers have managed to keep the game’s core mechanics, and use it to create a new adventure, yet with the same fundamentals that made the prequel so popular among players.
According to a post by Sucker Punch: “We also wanted to continue to innovate. To create something fresh but familiar, we looked beyond Jin Sakai’s story and the island of Tsushima, and shifted our focus to the idea of the Ghost instead, At Sucker Punch we love origin stories, and we wanted to explore what it could mean to have a new hero wearing a Ghost mask, and uncovering a new legend. This led us to Ghost of Yōtei: a new protagonist, a new story to unfold, and a new region of Japan to explore.”
and according to IGN, the game is expected to see a few changes regarding the mechanics, and an introduction to some new weapons, which seems very exciting.
We still don’t have much information regarding Ghost of Yōtei; however, as you can tell from the trailer, the game looks like it’s going to have some stunning visuals and a beautiful setting, and a lot of players are already eager to see how the new story’s going to play out.
