Description:
Here's what we know about Ghost of Ytei so far, including a look at gameplay, and some details on the game's setting.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Ghost of Ytei has been revealed, in place of what many had expected to be ' Ghost of Tsushima 2 '. It's set more than 300 years after the first Ghost game, and as such, isn't quite a direct sequel. How it connects, however, remains unclear, though it's clear that players can expect the same action/stealth gameplay and gorgeous visuals that wowed all the way back in 2020. This time around though, we're looking at a true next-gen experience, built from the ground up for PS5.

While it's still early days in terms of Ghost of Ytei details, we do know
that it's set to arrive next year, so hopefully we'll hear more sooner rather than later. The main question we need to be answered currently is whether Ghost of Ytei will tie into its predecessor at all, and how gameplay has evolved with the introduction of firearms. Developer Sucker Punch has already given us a glimpse at gameplay, and some details on the game's new setting. It's yet to be confirmed, but we expect to see Ghost of Ytei make the most of the PS5 Pro as well, making Ghost of Ytei one of the most highly anticipated upcoming games for 2025.

Here's everything we know so far about Ghost of Ytei so far, including a look at gameplay, as well as all of the latest news and rumors. As new info drops, and once we hear the full Ghost of Ytei release date, this page will be updated. Ghost of Ytei: cut to the chase What is it?

Ghost of Ytei will launch in 2025 exclusively for PS5. The game won't be coming to older consoles, given that it has been developed from the ground up to run on the PlayStation 5. In terms of a PC release, nothing has been announced, but if we look at recent Sony releases, it'll likely follow the
PS5 release at some point. Ghost of Ytei trailers

So far, we've only received one trailer for Ghost of Ytei . It was revealed during the Sony State of Play event on September 24, 2024. We see the new protagonist: Atsu, as they travel across gorgeous vistas, and take down enemies while wearing a Ghost mask. It's a mix of cinematics and gameplay and can be viewed above.

We'll likely hear more about Ghost of Ytei before the year ends. To keep up
to date with every trailer release for the game, be sure to check out the official PlayStation channel . Ghost of Ytei gameplay (Image credit: Sucker Punch)

We've only seen glimpses of Ghost of Ytei gameplay in the first trailer that was revealed. We see Atsu walking through some beautiful locales, but not
much more than that. Thankfully, there are some more details on the PS Blog . Atsu will wear a Ghost mask throughout the game, suggesting that she is somehow following the steps of Jin Sakai. This means stealth gameplay, likely with tools, distraction devices, and new abilities. One key difference
between Ghost of Ytei and Ghost of Tsushima is the inclusion of firearms, which will be a core arm of Atsu's arsenal. Ghost of Ytei setting (Image credit: Sucker Punch)

Sucker Punch is keeping the story of Ghost of Ytei under wraps for now but we do know that it's set in 1603, more than 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima . Players will explore the lands surrounding Mount Ytei, a towering peak in the heart of Ezo, an area of Japan known as Hokkaido in the present day. The story will be based loosely on history, but is being described as an 'original story.' We'll have to wait and see what's in store for new protagonist Atsu, for now, expect sprawling grasslands, snowy
tundras, and lush forests. Ghost of Ytei: FAQs (Image credit: Sucker Punch) Can you pre-order Ghost of Ytei?

Pre-orders for Ghost of Ytei are not currently live. This will likely change once the full release date is revealed. We're betting this happens next year, so stay tuned for updates. Who is the Ghost of Ytei protagonist?

Atsu is the protagonist of Ghost of Ytei . She is a brand new character in
the series, and at present, we know almost nothing about her. She's
definitely connected to Jin Sakai in some way, given that she wears a similar Ghost mask, and looks to be following the same style of stealth/action from the first game. Is Ghost of Ytei PS5 Pro enhanced?

Ghost of Ytei has not been confirmed as one of the PS5 Pro enhanced games . This is likely set to change, as we'd certainly expect a first-party PlayStation exclusive to make use of the PS5 Pro in some way. For now, it's not confirmed, but we're betting this changes at some point before launch, so could be a good reason to put in a PS5 Pro pre-order while you can. Ghost of Ytei news
