The ghost of Yutisequel to Ghost of Tsushima by Sucker Punch Productions, was undoubtedly the biggest reveal during the recent State of Play show. The biggest surprise to many was the developer's decision to leave Tsushima and Jin Sakai's story behind and instead introduce a new setting and a new female protagonist. While some fans expected Jane to return, this new direction seems to suit her ghost series This allows the developers to keep the outstanding features that fans love while offering fresh landscapes, time periods and regions, much like Assassin's Creed series
So far, little is known about it The ghost of YutiIt is currently set for release in 2025. While details are scarce – especially about the story – the trailer alone reveals several differences from Ghost of Tsushima which some fans may have missed. Let's take a look at the biggest confirmed changes that will make the upcoming game feel both new and familiar.
1 The new hero
Players will take on the role of the wandering female warrior, Atsu
in Ghost of TsushimaJin Sakai quickly became a fan favorite thanks to his depth and complexity as a character. This made me decide to leave him behind The ghost of Yuti It is a surprise to many, although it makes a lot of sense. According to the creators, the mainstay of the series is the concept of a wandering warrior in feudal Japan, which allows them to introduce new and original characters and stories with each episode.
in The ghost of Yutiplayers step into the role of Atsu, a wandering female warrior who is hunted by many ronin for reasons yet to be revealed. While the details of Atsu's story and background are still unknown, he already looks interesting – a skilled katana. Given Sucker Punch's track record, there's no doubt that they'll once again deliver an engaging and memorable hero.
2 The new area of Japan
Players will explore the map of Mount Yōtei and its surroundings
Before disclosure The ghost of Yutimuch about probability Ghost of Tsushima 2 Reusing Tsushima and Iki islands as environments. Fortunately, the developers chose an entirely new region of Japan. Players will now explore the high peak of Mount Yute and its surroundings, located in the heart of Ezo (present-day Hokkaido).
Exact size The ghost of Yuti The map is still unknown, but it is expected to be at least as extensive as the lands of the previous game. Based on the trailer, the new areas will be visually stunning, with a variety of environments including snow-capped mountains, dense forests, and bustling settlements. The most impressive landmark is undoubtedly Mount Uti itself, a massive peak that looms over the horizon and players explore its base terrain.
3 new era
Events take place over 300 years after Ghost Of Tsushima
As confirmed, events The ghost of Yuti It takes place in 1603, more than 300 years later Ghost of Tsushima. While the first Mongol invasion of Japan in 1274 was a fascinating period to explore, the shift to several centuries later is just as fascinating. Set in the early Edo period (also known as the Tokugawa period), this period marks the last of Japan's traditional feudal period.
Explicit trailer for The ghost of Yuti It featured notable Western-inspired influences, with authentic music and a mood of a lonely, wandering hero with personal motivations, contrasting with Jane's honorable mission in the first game. Considering the time gap between these two titles, it is unlikely that players will encounter familiar characters. However, the events of Ghost of Tsushima It may eventually reappear as tales of a vengeful ghost from the past.
4 All kinds of new weapons
Players can expect new weapons including firearms
Given the more advanced time period, it's no surprise that players can expect new weapons The ghost of Yuti. While Jin Sakai primarily relied on his katana and tanto for stealth kills, Atsu has been shown to wield dual katanas and even use matchlocks instead of traditional bows. In part of the leaked footage, Atsu also wielded a kusarigama – a traditional Japanese weapon that combines a sickle (kama) and a chain (kusari) – which delivers quick and spectacular blows to his enemies.
Fight in Ghost of Tsushima It's already a standout feature, and it looks likely to expand to new heights in the future. If Soccer Punch can maintain the satisfying feel of katana combat while introducing new weapons to master, upgrade, and use, players will surely be thrilled.
5 New musical instrument
Instead of a Jin flute, players will play a Shamisen
One of the notable changes from The ghost of Yuti The trailer is a new reveal that Atsu is carrying with her on her journey. While Jin Sakai played the shakuhachi (flute) to perform various songs and change the weather. Ghost of TsushimaAtsu will play Shamisen – a traditional Japanese stringed instrument (also called Samisen or Sangen). This change in musical instruments may reflect the game's western-inspired mode, and could function similarly to a flute, potentially influencing the environment.
In the leaked footage, Shamisen is always seen behind Atsu, which drew mixed reactions from fans. It is unclear if players can hide the instrument from the character model, but given that the shamisen is larger than the flute, it makes sense that it would be visible during gameplay.
