The official landing page for Ghost of Yōtei got a little update yesterday, with some new information on Sucker Punch’s upcoming game tucked in there.
Straight off the bat, along with some more story details, the developer has remained committed to its 2025 release window on PS5. There had been some speculation the studio and PlayStation may nudge it back a touch to make way for GTA 6 – a game many expect will dominate the gaming landscape when it releases this autumn (unless it gets delayed).
In terms of story, while we knew Ghost of Yōtei’s protagonist Atsu had a revenge mission of some kind, we now have a little more background as to why.
Here’s what the updated Ghost of Yōtei synopsis reads:
“300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima, a new warrior – Atsu – rises from the ashes of her homestead.
“Filled with fury and determination, Atsu will hunt down those responsible for the death of her family and exact her revenge. Every odd job and bounty will provide the coin she needs for her journey. But how she fights, survives, and evolves the legend of the Ghost, will be up to you.”
