To close out Sony’s State of Play presentation, Sucker Punch debuted a first look at the next game in its award-winning Ghosts series. Dubbed Ghost of Yotei, players will inhabit a new female protagonist named Atsu, who wields a shamisen in addition to a samurai’s traditional sword. According to the trailer description, Atsu will travel the wilds around Mount Yotei accompanied by a mysterious wolf companion.
Sucker Punch Studios, the developers behind the Sly Cooper and Infamous series, released Ghosts of Tsushima back in 2020. The game was praised for its quiet, contemplative moments as much as it’s Akira Kurosawa-style samurai action. Earlier this year, Sucker Punch released a PC port of Tsushima and confirmed that a movie based on the game is in the works, with John Wick director, Chad Stahelski, tapped to lead the project.
Sony didn’t share release date details, only pegging the game to a 2025 release window.
