Ghost of Yōtei: Sucker Punch’s bold new chapter targets 2025 release
Of course, it was natural for Sucker Punch Studios to have a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, considering how successful the game was upon its release in 2020. Since the game debuted, rumors have circulated about sequel development during events announcing new games.
The new game, Ghost of Yōtei, was presented during the September 2024 State of Play event, but it was not what fans had hoped for. The game will serve as a thematic sequel rather than a direct one.
The Ghost of Yōtei will have a release date and gameplay trailer during the second State of Play event this year, and it is scheduled for release in Q3 2025. Overall, players will be quite impressed with what has been displayed and will have confidence in Sucker Punch’s path.
The game is supposedly set in the same timeline as Ghost of Tsushima. While there may be some subtle tie-ins that fans can recognize, it features an entirely new plot with new characters. The main similarities are the Feudal Japan setting and the concept of a “ghost” character.
We will also receive a dedicated state of play before its release. Ghost of Yōtei was released last September, and the developers claimed they were targeting 2025.
