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.

Ghost of Yōtei announced for PlayStation 5, launching 2 October: Prices, gameplay and more
Five years after the critically acclaimedGhost of Tsushima, the creative minds behind the game have announced their latest venture,Ghost of Yōtei, set to release exclusively on PlayStation 5 on 2 October 2025. While not a direct sequel, the game draws inspiration from its predecessor and introduces an all-new protagonist, narrative, and region. Set in 19th-century Ezo (modern-day Hokkaido),Ghost of Yōtei follows the gripping story of Atsu, a lone warrior with a tragic past. Sixteen years prior, a ruthless gang known as the Yōtei Six destroyed her family and left her for dead, nailing her to a burning ginkgo tree with her own katana. Now, she returns to her homeland armed with that very sword, determined to track down and eliminate the six figures from her past: The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito. However, Atsu's story is not solely rooted in revenge. As she journeys across the untamed wilderness of Ezo, she encounters unexpected allies and discovers a deeper purpose beyond vengeance. Building on the immersive open-world design ofGhost of Tsushima,Ghost of Yōtei introduces even more freedom and gameplay depth. Players will be able to choose their path through the narrative by selecting which member of the Yōtei Six to pursue first. Optional side quests include bounty hunting and training with weapon masters, allowing for varied playstyles. A new gameplay mechanic also lets players relive key memories from Atsu's past, shedding light on the events that shaped her. In addition, players can now pitch a campfire anywhere in the world, offering a moment of respite amidst the chaos. Fans will not have to wait long to secure their copy.
