Sucker Punch Production’s critically acclaimed title, Ghost of Tsushima, has wrapped up its narrative arc, marking the end of Jin Sakai’s journey. The forthcoming sequel, Ghost of Yōtei, is set to release on October 2, and is available for pre-order at a price of $69.99. The decision to focus on a new protagonist in this sequel is not unprecedented within the gaming industry.
Release Information
The sequel was recently highlighted in a follow-up trailer, confirming its October launch. Former PlayStation Studios head, Shuhei Yoshida, has hinted that Ghost of Yōtei could elevate the benchmark for console gaming even further, asserting that it surpasses its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima.
Gameplay Enhancements
Ghost of Yōtei promises a richer narrative experience, featuring a non-linear storyline centered around revenge. Sucker Punch has revealed that this installment will provide players with greater freedom and the largest open-world environment created by the studio to date, offering ample opportunities for exploration, side quests, and engaging duels.
Platform Availability
This new adventure will initially launch as a PlayStation exclusive, with a PC version expected to follow later. For those yet to transition to a PlayStation 5, the game may serve as a compelling reason to upgrade to Sony’s latest console.
While there’s still ample time to pre-order Ghost of Yōtei, fans of the original game may find it hard to resist placing their orders early.
