Ghost of Yotei Update Teases Player Freedom and Beautiful, Realistic World

Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Yotei is the next big game from Sony Interactive Entertainment. Set centuries after Ghost of Tsushima, the follow-up aims to be bigger and better than its predecessor in several ways, with more player freedom and gameplay improvements, as mentioned in a new update for the upcoming game.

What are the new Ghost of Yotei details?

The newly updated Ghost of Yotei page on PlayStation’s website teases eager players with new information regarding the upcoming PS5 game. Arguably the most important detail here is regarding player freedom. Players take control of Atsu, a warrior on a mission to get revenge on the people who murdered her family. Although she’ll take on jobs and bounties to gain the cash needed for her journey, the page states it “will be up to you” how to go about these missions.

“Filled with fury and determination, Atsu will hunt down those responsible for the death of her family and exact her revenge,” reads part of the Ghost of Yotei webpage. “Every odd job and bounty will provide the coin she needs for her journey. But how she fights, survives, and evolves the legend of the Ghost, will be up to you.”

Sucker Punch creative directors Nate Fox and Jason Connell tangentially mentioned this in an interview with the New York Times. However, that focused more on making Ghost of Yotei’s open world less repetitive by adding “unique experiences.”

Speaking of Ghost of Yotei’s open world, the updated webpage also hints at its beautiful and realistic map, as it’ll feature “massive sightlines” with “vegetation that sways believably in the wind.”

The most exciting new detail revealed for Ghost of Yotei pertains to the game’s new mechanics and gameplay improvements. Specifically, Atsu can master some new weapons, which include ōdachi, kusarigama, and dual katanas.

Ghost of Yotei launches for PS5 sometime in 2025. It will be enhanced with the recently released PS5 Pro.
