Ghost of Yotei release date speculation
Ghost of Yotei is currently launching as aPS5 exclusive. While it has yet to be confirmed, Ghost of Tsushima eventually released on PC, so it’s quite possible that we’ll see the sequel follow suit and come to PC at a later date.
The official announcement trailer (which you can watch above) gives us our first look at Ghost of Yotei, with shots of some beautiful vistas, bloodstained snow, a ravenous-looking wolf, and the introduction of the new protagonist who will be leading the next adventure.

Sucker Punch detailed in aPlayStation blogfollowing the showcase reveal that the team wanted to “create something fresh but familiar”. So, in order to explore new avenues beyond Jin Sakai’s story in Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yotei will put us in the role of a new protagonist known as Atsu.
“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,” senior communications manager Andrew Goldfar says in the blog. “This led us to Ghost of Yōtei: a new protagonist, a new story to unfold, and a new region of Japan to explore.”
It’s alsobeen revealed that the role of Atsu is played by actor Erika Ishii, who’s also had roles in the likes ofApex LegendsandDestiny 2, as well as the upcoming RPG,Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
We don’t yet know too many solid details about Ghost of Yotei’s story, but the trailer offers some tantalizing hints about its direction. As a mysterious figure says, people come to the North of Japan “to disappear”, but it’s suggested that protagonist Atsu is hunting for something… or perhaps someone, and now “every Ronin here is after you”. So it sounds as if we’ll be hunted as we explore Atsu’s story. The trailer certainly raises some questions about what’s in store, but we’ll have to wait to get some official answers about the story.
Interestingly, the setting, which is said to be home to “unexpected dangers”, is going to be “a far cry from the organized samurai clans who lived in Tsushima”. From what we’ve seen of the sequel’s backdrop so far, it looks incredibly picturesque and detailed, with expansive grassy fields and snowy landscapes.

I started out writing for the games section of a student-run website as an undergrad, and continued to write about games in my free time during retail and temp jobs for a number of years. Eventually, I earned an MA in magazine journalism at Cardiff University, and soon after got my first official role in the industry as a content editor for Stuff magazine. After writing about all things tech and games-related, I then did a brief stint as a freelancer before I landed my role as a staff writer here at GamesRadar+. Now I get to write features, previews, and reviews, and when I’m not doing that, you can usually find me lost in any one of the Dragon Age or Mass Effect games, tucking into another delightful indie, or drinking far too much tea for my own good.
