As expected, Ghost of Yotei will be Sony’s big PS5 holiday release of 2025. The publisher confirmed the sequel’s release date today.
Ghost of Yotei will be available exclusively on the PS5 on October 2, 2025. Alongside the release date announcement, we also received a new trailer and details on the game’s Collector’s Edition.
Sucker Punch Productions’ release date announcement today also sheds more light on the game’s story. While we know the game is set 300 years after Ghost of Tsushima, Sucker Punch went deeper into the game’s story.
Ghost of Yotei Story Synopsis:
“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. One by one, she’s hunting them down to avenge her family, armed with the same katana used to pin her to that burning tree all those years ago. But while Atsu’s story begins with vengeance, she’ll find there’s more to her journey than just revenge. As she explores Ezo, Atsu will meet unlikely allies and forge connections that help give her a new sense of purpose.”
In addition to the story and a new trailer, Sony also shared details on the game’s pre-order bonuses and special editions for those with extra money to burn.
