'Ghost of Tshushima' sequel to come to PS5 in 2025

 

Ghost of Yōtei, a sequel to the 2020 PlayStation hit Ghost of Tsushima, will be coming to the Sony PlayStation 5 in 2025. This sequel features a new protagonist, era, and landscape. It stars Atsu, a new Ghos, who journeys through the lands at the base of Mount Yōtei in Ezo (modern-day Hokkaido) in 1603. It is set 300 years after the events of Tsushima, which focused on the Mongol invasion of the region.

You get to see the environment in the trailer and a hint of cowboy twang in the music used in it. Sucker Punch noted in a blog post that Yōtei isn't home to organized samurai clans like those in Tsushima. And that became the basis of the sequel's new story. They haven't shared a specific release date yet.

Annapurna Interactive is a game company known for publishing independent hits like Stray, Outer Wilds, Gorogoa, Neon White, What Remains of Edith Finch, and many more. Gary tried to negotiate a deal with Annapurna Pictures lead Megan Ellison to turn it into an independent developer. But a week before its latest negotiations, the co-heads of Annapurna Interactive, Deborah Mars and Nathan Vella, along with Gary, announced their departure.
