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.
In
the
blog
post
announcing
the
game,
Sony
stated
that
Ghost
of
Yotei
was
Sucker
Punch’s
first
game
built
specifically
around
the
PS5.
According
to
the
developers,
Ghost
of
Yotei
will
offer
the
same
kind
of
beautiful
observation
moments
as
its
predecessor
while
adding
new
features
as
well.

“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,”
said
Andrew
Goldfarb,
communications
manager
at
Sucker
Punch.
“Our
new
setting
also
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
introduce
new
mechanics,
gameplay
improvements,
and
even
new
weapons.”
Sony
didn’t
share
release
date
details,
only
pegging
the
game
to
a
2025
release
window.
