Ghost of Yōtei (PlayStation 5)

Overview

Ghost of Yōtei is a standalone action‑adventure title developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, released October 2, 2025 for the PlayStation 5.

Set roughly 300 years after Ghost of Tsushima, the game follows Atsu, a lone mercenary haunted by her past, who returns to the harsh frontier of Ezo (modern‑day Hokkaido) to hunt down the Yōtei Six, the gang responsible for her family’s massacre.
