If you've been sleeping on the Akira Kurosawa-inspired movie, assassin's creed-samurai style game Ghost of Tsushimayou've been missing it. Since it recently released on PC, now is a good time to catch up, but now there's even more reason to do so, as Sony just announced a sequel titled Yotei Ghost.
Scheduled for release in 2025, the game has similarities to its predecessor. It follows a wandering samurai who rides horseback through picturesque windswept fields, befriends animals, and defeats enemies in katana duels.
While Ghost of Tsushima It was set on Tsushima Island during the time of the Mongol invasion, Yotei Ghost is (appropriately) located around the foot of Mount Yōtei, one of the most picturesque places in Japan; the area today is called Hokkaido.
Most fans of the first game expected a new location in TsushimaThe sequel, but perhaps they didn't expect the other big change: there seems to be a new protagonist. The woman who appears in the trailers is not Jin Sakai, the main character of Tsushima. This suggests that the franchise will move forward with something of an anthology format rather than direct sequels. A Sony blog post says the new character is called Atsu.
The blog post also says that Yotei It takes place in 1603, 300 years after the events of Tsushima.
However, developer Sucker Punch hasn't revealed anything about the gameplay beyond what we see in the trailer. So far, what we see looks almost identical to what we've played before. Although there will surely be more announcements to come.
