Announced during the State of Play last September, the game is expected for 2025, without further details. A few days ago, a job offer suggested that the game was still planned for this year.

New information on Ghost of Yotei
When announcing Ghost of Yotei in September 2024, Sucker Punch confirmed that the game was planned for 2025 and that it would be a new installment in the "Ghost of" series, without being a direct sequel to Ghost of Tsushima and the adventures of Jin Sakai.
Moreover, the studio confirmed that the game would take place in 1603, 300 years after the events of Tsushima, with Atsu as the main character. A new heroine with whom we will explore a new area of Japan with Mount Yotei, now known as the prefecture of Hokkaido, which was once called Ezo and was still outside the borders of Japan.
Today, we learn a little more details directly on the game's official website. Thus, Ghost of Yotei will immerse us in the skin of Atsu whose motivations will be to avenge her family. She will thus set off on a long journey to through the lands bordering Mount Yotei, which will be "a wild territory composed of vast green expanses, icy tundras and unexpected dangers.".
To begin and advance in his journey, Atsu will have to take on odd jobs and bounties in order to gather the money necessary to continue his quest. It will also be up to us to choose his fighting style, including new weapons (odachi, kusarigama, double katanas). The game should also feature improved gameplay and new mechanics.
Finally, according to information from Detective Seeds, who reportedly spoke with two sources close to the development, the release of Ghost of Yotei is scheduled between the end of July and the end of August 2025. As a reminder, the first episode Ghost of Tsushima was released on July 17, 2020 on PS4. The title was entitled to a re-release with a Director’s Cut on PS5 in August 2021.
