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 Yōtei comes to PS5 on October 2. New trailer introduces the Yōtei Six — gang members Atsu has sworn to hunt down: 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). To stay updated on the stories that are going viral follow Indiatimes Trending.

PS5 announce Ghost of Yōtei release date and we have everything you need to know
PS5 has announced the release date of new game Ghost of Yōtei - and thrilled fans have already hailed it as "majestic". Ghost of Yōtei is a follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima, which came out five years ago. In that time, creators have been "hard at work making Ghost of Yōtei something special". While the stories unrelated, the new game is a "worthy" addition to Jin's journey and Atsu's quest for vengeance. Sixteen years ago in the heart of Ezo, a gang of outlaws known as the Yōtei Six took everything from Atsu. They killed her family and left her for dead, pinned to a burning ginkgo tree outside her home. But Atsu survived. She learned to fight, to kill, and to hunt, and after years away she has returned to her home with a list of six names: The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon , and Lord Saito. She is now hunting them down to avenge her family, armed with the same katana used to pin her to that burning tree all those years ago. But while Atsu's story begins with vengeance, she'll find there's more to her journey than just revenge. As she explores Ezo, Atsu will meet unlikely allies and forge connections that help give her a new sense of purpose. "In Ghost of Yōtei, we've built upon and evolved the way you explore the open world, offering even more freedom and variety than in Ghost of Tsushima," the creators explained in a statement. "You'll choose which leads to follow as you pick which Yōtei Six member you want to hunt down first. Atsu can also track other dangerous targets and claim bounties , or seek out weapon sensei to learn new skills. "As you trek across the open world you'll find unexpected dangers and peaceful reprieves (including some returning activities from Tsushima). You'll be able to build a campfire anywhere in the open world for a rest under the stars." Pre-orders for Ghost of Yōtei begin on May 2 at 10am GMT, and you'll be able to choose between multiple different editions, including our amazing Collector's Edition. If you pre-order any edition of Ghost of Yōtei you'll receive a unique in- game mask, as well as a set of seven PSN avatars featuring concept art of Atsu and each member of the Yōtei Six at launch1. Pre-orders on PlayStation Store will receive the avatars immediately. The standard edition of Ghost of Yōtei will be £69.99 and will be available at retail or at PlayStation Store. At PlayStation Store, you'll also be able to pre-order the Ghost of Yōtei Digital Deluxe Edition for £79.99. The Digital Deluxe Edition includes a digital copy of Ghost of Yōtei plus in-game bonuses including The Snake's armour set, as well as an alternate dye for your starting armour. You'll also receive a unique horse colour and unique saddle dye, plus an in-game Charm, gold Sword Kit, and an early unlock of Traveller's Maps, which allow you to find statues throughout the world to upgrade your skills. "I just got around to watching the Ghost of Yotei trailer and this game looks MAJESTIC," one fan gushed on X . You can get your hands on it on October 2. And while pre-orders don't open until May 2, you can wish list Ghost of Yōtei right now at PlayStation Store and sign up to receive notifications as more information is released in the months to come.
