Ghost of Yotei does not continue the narrative of Ghost Tsushima. Instead, the standalone sequel is set 300 years after GoT and focuses on a haunted, lone mercenary named Atsu in 1600s rural Japan. She is back in Ezo after sixteen years, eager to take revenge on the Yotei Six, who murdered her family and left her for dead.

Sucker Punch promises an unconventional story and journey, filled with vibrant landscape and important NPCs who will impact Atsu's journey. You will be able to bathe in onsen, dabble in Sumi-e painting, and more during your time in Ezo. You can also set up camps to cook and rest in the wilderness.

The following weapons are available to Atsu during the course of the game:

Melee: Katana, Dual Katana, Odachi, Yari, Kusarigama
Ranged: Bow and Arrow, Tanegashima Matchlock, Quickfire Tools (Kunai, Smoke Bombs, and more)

The game releases on October 2, 2025.
