First revealed at last September’s PlayStation State of Play, Sony has announced an October 2nd release date for Ghost of Yotei. While the stories are unrelated, Ghost of Yotei is a follow up to Ghost of Tsushima released by Sucker Punch nearly five years ago.
Alongside the release date announcement, Sony also debuted a new cinematic trailer for Ghost of Yotei. The trailer, titled “The Onryo’s List, showcases the beautiful scenery of Ezo and the game’s protagonist, Atsu, hunting down her enemies.
In a PlayStation blog post, Sony says: “Sixteen years ago in the heart of Ezo (called Hokkaido in present day), a gang of outlaws known as the Yōtei Six took everything from Atsu. They killed her family and left her for dead, pinned to a burning ginkgo tree outside her home. But Atsu survived. She learned to fight, to kill, and to hunt, and after years away she has returned to her home with a list of six names: The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito.”
Pre-orders for the game will go live on May 2 at 10:00 AM local time for those interested. As usual, there are different editions, including the standard edition and a collector’s edition.
