Sixteen years after this tragedy, Atsu embarks on a quest across northern Japan. What connects the two titles is the way players experience sword fights, stealth, the beautiful landscapes of Japan, and the challenging confrontations that occur throughout Atsu’s journey. As she encounters numerous challenges, players must rely on her fighting skills, which will be crucial for survival.
