Tsushima sequel Ghost of Yotei moves to Sengoku Period Ezo

The sequel to Ghost of Tsushima got a reveal as part of the PlayStation State of Play stream. Ghost of Yotei moves things to 1603 during the popular Sengoku Period of Japan.

It also moves the action to the area around Mount Yotei, which is located in modern day Hokkaido, known as Ezo back in that period. It stars Atsu, who is a protagonist that I’m sure is not going to rankle a very specific and vocal corner of the internet at all.

The gameplay shown off looks very much like Ghost of Tsushima. Lots of tall grass, horseback riding, and swordplay. Atsu has a Shamisen strung across her back and a wolf features heavily. Maybe you’ll be able to play songs for your puppers, I don’t know.

I feel like this is trying to trick me into playing again. I liked Ghost of Tsushima for a while, but it was way longer than it should have been and the open world was very open-worldy, if you know what I mean. Beautiful game, and killing Mongol invaders was a lot of fun for a while, but its depth wasn’t enough to support its breadth. If you know what I mean.

Ghost of Yotei is coming to PS5 in 2025.
