Ghost of Yōtei is Sucker Punch's spiritual follow-up to 2020's Ghost of Tsushima, moving the setting to the region surrounding Mount Yōtei in Hokkaido with a new protagonist and story.
It keeps the open-world samurai-action foundation that defined Ghost of Tsushima — stealth, sword combat, and a strong emphasis on environmental atmosphere — while telling an unconnected story in a new time and place.
Sucker Punch has described the shift to a new protagonist and setting as a way to explore different themes than the original game's Mongol-invasion storyline, rather than directly continuing Jin Sakai's arc.
As a PS5 console exclusive, it continues Sony's pattern of backing high-budget, cinematic single-player action games from its first-party studios.
