Ghost of Yōtei is an upcoming action-adventure game developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment.
Players will take control of Atsu (Erika Ishii), a female warrior who adopts the persona of "The Ghost" at the dawn of the Edo period.
[2][3] Developers have claimed that players will have more control over Atsu's narrative and choices compared to Ghost of Tsushima.
[2][4] Ghost of Yōtei's setting was inspired by Sucker Punch Productions's multiple visits to northern Japan.
Creative director Nate Fox wanted a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima (2020) to maintain its core elements: "transporting the player to the romance and beauty of feudal Japan".
