Ghost of Yotei: Complete guide and walkthrough

Sportskeeda Gaming's Ghost of Yotei complete guide and walkthrough will be your one-stop shop for everything you need to know about Sucker Punch's 2025 title. Designed as the spiritual successor to the much-acclaimed Ghost of Tsushima, GoY puts you into the shoes of Atsu, a wandering mercenary aiming to avenge her fallen family. She faces the wrath of the Yotei Six in Ezo and will wage a one-woman war to finish her quest.

There is plenty to do in Ghost of Yotei's Ezo, and a completionist run will take some time. Our guide will thus come in handy from time to time. Meanwhile, if you have not purchased the game or just want to know what we thought about the title, check out our Ghost of Yotei review.
