Sucker Punch’s latest adventure introduces a new hero.
Today we are so happy to announce Ghost of Yōtei, the latest game from Sucker Punch and the introduction of our new hero, Atsu.
When we set out to make a new Ghost game, we wanted to maintain the core pillars established in Ghost of Tsushima: playing as a wandering warrior in Feudal Japan, offering freedom to explore at your own pace, and highlighting the beauty of the world.
We also wanted to continue to innovate. To create something fresh but familiar, we looked beyond Jin Sakai’s story and the island of Tsushima, and shifted our focus to the idea of the Ghost instead. At Sucker Punch we love origin stories, and we wanted to explore what it could mean to have a new hero wearing a Ghost mask, and uncovering a new legend. This led us to Ghost of Yōtei: a new protagonist, a new story to unfold, and a new region of Japan to explore.
While we aren’t diving into story specifics yet today, we can reveal that Atsu’s journey takes place in 1603, more than 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima. Our story is set in the lands surrounding Mount Yōtei, a towering peak in the heart of Ezo, an area of Japan known as Hokkaido in present day. In 1603, this area was outside the rule of Japan, and filled with sprawling grasslands, snowy tundras, and unexpected dangers. It’s a far cry from the organized samurai clans who lived in Tsushima, and it’s the setting for an original story we can’t wait to tell.
This is also Sucker Punch’s first game built from the ground up for PlayStation 5, and we’re excited to build on the visual foundation we established in Ghost of Tsushima by making the world feel even more real. We have massive sightlines that let you look far across the environment, whole new skies featuring twinkling stars and auroras, even more believable movement from wind on grass and vegetation, and more improvements we’ll share in the future. Our new setting also gives us the opportunity to introduce new mechanics, gameplay improvements, and even new weapons.
Our trailer today offers a glimpse into this world, but there’s so much more to show, and we’ll have much more to share in the months ahead, including details about Atsu’s journey and the people (and animals) she’ll meet along the way. We are forever grateful for the success of Ghost of Tsushima, and we can’t wait for you all to experience Ghost of Yōtei in 2025.
Can’t wait to play this on PC.
I’m really excited for the new game!…
But my question is, What happened to Jin sakai?
Can’t wait for Atsu taking a bath in a hot spring! ;) I’m so happy for this announcement!!
You should learn from Ubisoft. Forcing The Message on us is a straight road to falure.
Do you remember when a sector of the press attacked your game with low marks to promote the agenda of The last of us 2 accompanied by the hatred that the social justice Warriors gave against Ghost of Sushima on the internet for the same reason?.
And yet many of us went for your game because precisely it moved away from the agenda of feminist girl bosses and Woke propaganda. Well, here you are appealing to those who attacked you and wanted to destroy you and disowning those who supported you

I don’t really think sucker punch is pushing a “agenda”. I honestly think they wanted to move on to a new location in a new time period, and with that comes a new protagonist. The fact that the MC is female is irrelevant in terms of gameplay or design. But from a narrative & character perspective, to not continue with Jin, and build upon his already distinct impact he had on gaming is a miss opportunity.
