Ghost of Yōtei State of Play wows with bold new features
Sony and Sucker Punch Productions just dropped a major reveal for 'Ghost of Yōtei' during their July 2025 State of Play showcase, offering fans an in-depth look ahead of its 2 October release on PS5.
The 20-minute presentation introduced Atsu, a warrior out for revenge against the mysterious Yōtei Six. Set in Ezo's stunning landscapes, the game emphasises player freedom like never before, encouraging exploration, combat, and personal storytelling through a new Clue System. Players can follow leads that guide them to snow-capped peaks or fire-ravaged villages, shaping Atsu's path however they choose.
Combat is sharper and bloodier, with new weapons like the kusarigama and odachi, plus ranged options including a bow and even a gun. Atsu can also rely on a fierce wolf companion to help in brutal fights.
