Ghost of Tsushima's missing piece? Ghost of Yōtei collector's edition teases Gwent-inspired minigame; check details
Loved Ghost of Tsushima? Well, wait, keep up the excitement, as Ghost of Yōtei, the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, is set to arrive this October. PlayStation Studios and Sucker Punch Productions have unveiled a release date for the trailer for Ghost of Yōtei, which is the upcoming sequel to the 2020 open-world game Ghost of Tsushima.
The game comes with a brand new protagonist called Atsu, who is hellbent on getting revenge against six outlaws who killed her family. Ghost of Yōtei originally revealed a 2025 release window when it was announced. Now it is committing to a release date reveal of October 2, 2025.
The new announcement came alongside a brand-new story trailer introducing Ghost of Yōtei's six key antagonists. But now you must be curious about how different it is from Ghost of Tsushima.

Ghost of Tsushima's Collector's Edition reveals a minigame in the sequel
Well, with a small trailer of Ghost of Yotei, nothing much could be showcased beyond the gorgeous vistas, a bit of gameplay, new weapons, and brief teases of what the story will be like. But the Collector's Edition boasts something that could engross players for a majority of the time in-game, reports Game Rant.
However, it depends on how in-depth it is as a minigame: Zeni Hajiki. According to Game Rant, Horizon Forbidden West's Machin Strike and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Queen's Blood are the latest PlayStation titles to explore strategy minigames.
Meanwhile, Ghost of Tsushima is focused on immersive open-world activities such as Bamboo Strikes and Haiku. But now, Ghost of Yotei introduces Zeni Hajiki, described as a skill-based gameplay that players will encounter throughout the game. This has also been showcased through a real-life adaptation.
Ghost of Tsushima and Ghost of Yotei feature
Apart from the minigame, Tsushima had more than enough of an open world, encouraging free-roaming exploration. Still, Sucker Punch's acclaimed Ghost franchise seems like an ideal setup for a recurring minigame, especially if Ghost of Yotei features players encountering new NPCs (non-performing characters) along their quest to defeat the Yotei six.
Key points about Ghost of Yōtei
What is it? A sequel to the Ghost of Tsushima series.
When does it come out? October 2, 2025.
What can I play it on? PS5 (exclusively).
Who's making it? Sucker Punch (Ghost of Tsushima, Infamous).
