While we wait for a big trailer and a release date, Ghost of Yotei reveals more about its story, map, and gameplay.
Is Ghost of Yotei still scheduled for 2025?
Ghost of Yotei is one of the most anticipated video game releases of the year, and even Sony's big exclusive coming to PS5, with Death Stranding 2: On the Beach announced for June 26. Sucker Punch has succeeded with Ghost of Tsushima in creating a strong appeal around its new saga, thanks to its superb artistic direction, its gameplay, its varied combat system, as well as its captivating story and quests.
So what can we expect from Ghost of Yotei? It must be said that since its announcement at the State of Play in September 2024, Sucker Punch has been very discreet. The approaching Summer Game Fest 2025 would then be the ideal opportunity for the studio to reveal a little more about its sequel, including the first in-game images and a long-awaited release date. In the absence of information, players have every right to be worried, because the release of the ogre GTA 6 is looming this fall, and no one - not even the biggest studios - wants to take on Rockstar's hit.
