2020’s Ghost of Tsushima from developer Sucker Punch is officially getting a sequel. Announced during September 24’s State of Play, Ghost of Yotei is in the works for PS5 and will launch in 2025.
The trailer doesn’t detail much in terms of the game’s story, instead focusing on beautiful-looking environments and a few moments of combat where we get to see the new ghost in action, a woman who seems to possess a similar skillset to Ghost of Tsushima’s Jin when it comes to both swordplay and stealth. As the name of the game and new trailer suggests, this new game will move the series away from the setting of Tsushima to Japan’s second-largest island, Hokkaidō–specifically, the area around Mount Yōtei.
Ghost of Tsushima was one of Sony’s fastest-selling new games ever at launch and has sold more than 8 million copies to date. So the announcement of a sequel was only a matter of time. A Director’s Cut of the game came to PC earlier this year with additional features.
In addition to the Ghost of Tsushima sequel, a movie based on the franchise is in the works from John Wick’s Chad Stahelski. The Ghosts of Tsushima movie is being developed under the PlayStation Productions banner.
This unit produced the movies Uncharted and Gran Turismo, as well as the Twisted Metal TV and The Last of Us series. Other upcoming projects include the God of War and Horizon TV shows, and a Days Gone film.
