Ghost of Tsuhima's successor has finally been announced, having rumoured to have been in development for at least a few years at Sucker Punch Productions. It's officially called Ghost of Yotei, and the reveal trailer shows a female ronin supposedly hunting across the Japanese countryside.
The trailer itself is dripping with the kind of samurai cinema mood you'd expect of a sequel, and naturally, we can't wait to see more. It's coming to PS5 next year, and we'll no doubt be hearing more about it soon.

A woman?
WOKE
...
Am I doing this right?
Anyway, yeah, a new first-party PS5 exclusive. Pretty cool for fans of the original.
Looks amazing. I like they went this direction with a different story to Jin’s
All I see in the YouTube comments is woke. But I wonder how many of those same people drool over Stellar Blades female main character. So weird
@Ralizah Almost, it's DEI now!
Also, LEEETTTSSSS GOOOO
Sony needed this. Those visuals are beyond incredible like WOW!!!!.
2025 is quite a year isn't it? This, GTA 6, Monster Hunter Wilds, i'm guessing either Wolverine or Venom and far more.
This was the moment of the show and the only part that made me feel like the old Sony PS4 days again.
Glad the game has finally arrived.
Wheres my boy jin sakai.is she the star of this game.it does looks amazing.word up son
One of the main reasons I'm getting the Pro. I absolutely cannot wait for this.
I love her already 😅💗💗💗💗💗
I had a quick Google search and the game is set 300 years after Tsushima and 1603 is a hugely important year because it's the very start of the Edo period in Japanese history.
@playstation1995 Jin is dead my man. It's like 400 years after The first game. I guess he finally became a real ghost, word up son
Ubisoft just cancelled their Tokyo Game show presence for AC Shadows. No joke.
I absolutely adored Ghost of Tsushima, so I am really looking forward to this.
I may TRY to hold off to see if there is a PC version, though, but...it's going to painful given how much I loved Ghost of Tsushima.
@SuperSilverback @Ainu20 Countdown to whoever the actress for this character is getting death threats starts now.
Basement dwellers crying because you play as a woman
HOLD THOSE TEARS WE WILL BE THERE DAY ONE
@Ralizah Nothing wrong with women protagonists. Look at Stellar Blade. The issue is making them a frumpy girl-boss who imitates and hates men.
This can’t be a game starring a woman, her ass isn’t out on the battlefield
Looks sick. Need to finish GoT and Ikki island though, was a bit repetitive at times, hopefully sequel is more varied.
@Ralizah haha maybe they've made her mute to spare a voice actress the online torture
I am on board for this.
Looks good. But... Jin's story was what i was looking forward to. we shall see
What a mic drop.
@Rambo-kind I'm trying to think of a female protagonist who is a misandrist, but my memory is failing me. Offer some examples?
@SuperSilverback Just harass the motion capture actress, then.
@nessisonett ikr how she gonna breathe?
I played my favourite YouTube comment game. How long before you see a clown scream woke, took 10 comments
I look forward to the trolls here complaining about bad writing and to many ghost games so sucker punch should be making a new IP going forward to.
Personally, I got so excited it gave me fibrillations👍
@Rambo-kind Name one misandrist protagonist of a game.
I wonder if all the people hating on Yasuke for totally legitimate reasons are gonna support this protagonist...
I can practically taste the twitter salt that they're doing lady ghost of tsushima. There's gonna be so many tedious YouTube videos about it. I'm into it though, glad they're leaving Jin's story as is.
I am incredibly hyped for this. I love love love Ghost of Tsushima, so this is perfect. Can't wait.
But can you pet the wolf?
Beyond hyped. Count me in.
Just what I needed from Sony. I have a massive art print from Ghost of Tsushima over my office desk so to say I am hyped is an understatement. The first game was one of the best things I've played. Loved it. Can't wait for this.
If it wasn’t for Lunar, this would have been the highlight of the show for me.
The fact a female protagonist is in this is fine and, depending on how they do the story, historically accurate. There absolutely were female ronins and samurai.
The ONLY thing I’m bummed out about is that I won’t play as Jin. He became one of my favorite PS characters ever.
Trailer views have already exceeded the number of players who played Concord 😬
She better take those hotspring baths totally naked😂😂 jk, that trailer was🔥🔥
Surely the wolf is gonna be a companion right? Right!!!?
Beyond just playing sweet tunes, I'm also curious what the point of carrying around the musical instrument is gonna be.
Ok, I need a Atsu avatar!
YEEEEEEAH BABYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Looks interesting. Though it takes place centuries after the first one, this would give me a good excuse to play the first one.
I mean come on, let's be brutally honest, Jin was good but he was hardly Mr Charisma was he?
And yes I know that's partly the point. But if I'm going for a pint with him it's only so he's there in case it kicks off.
I'm glad that they didn't bring Jin back for another game after what I thought was a good ending for the character, and that they moved forward in time to a different period to tell a new story!
Personally, I like the fact that they went with a different character instead of Jins. His story was already told.
I feel like it's better the companies continue with the same character only if it's not completed but ghost of Tsushima looks like a complete experience.
The last of us one should've done that after it ended, with brand new characters same world.
The only moment in the state of play that legitimately got me to sit up and take notice. Within about two scenes I got the Ghost vibe and thought 'hang on...' and then the SP logo splashed on screen...
"See that mountain? You can climb it," feels fresh again. Hopefully you do get to, though I'd imagine it might be the final part of the story. Also, one of the only things I didn't like about the original is that the towns, while sometimes beautiful, felt kind of dead. Just buildings with what were effectively mannequins standing around. Hopefully they can love them up and make them really interesting places, like the towns in BotW.
I'm excited for the new character. Could be a cool touch though to have one of those 'legends' side quests refer to the tale of the Ghost of Tsushima.
@mountain_spider Yeah. I'd hate it if someone else invades Tsushima and Jin is like "looks like it's time... to become the Ghost again!" as he needlessly but dramatically draws his sword. Certain other devs repeat the same thing ad nauseum with their characters and plots so I'm glad to see SP not doing that here.
IM SO HYPED! It’s Sucker Punch so I know it’ll be good but after Ghost 1 I expect amazing and so far it looks better than I expected.
Sucker Punch never disappoints! I'm sure this will be fantastic. Seriously one of my favourite developers in the whole industry, I've loved basically all of their games for years now.
@AdamNovice indeed.
For comparison Nioh is set in 1600 and puts its own spin on actual events that would allow the Edo period to begin (The battle of Sekigahara allowed Ieyasu Tokugawa to cement his position).
AC Shadows is set in 1579, three years before the death of Nobunaga as he attempted to end the Sengoku era.
That's a biiiit of a shame that it's far after Ghost of Tsushima(I wanted to see Jin working with another Ghost), but seeing a new ghost is awesome as hell!
The trailer was a piece of art! Really well made, dont usually see game trailers that beautiful
@Matroska Exactly. Plus, they can always surprise us and bring him back in a different game. If they develop a good story, but I like the whole complete experience beginning to end and move onto the next.
Ghost Of Tsushima gave me my successor to Rikimaru Ghost Of Yotei is giving me a successor to Ayame😭😭😭
Looking forward to this. GoT was ace.
@Matroska Jin has become one of my favourite game characters but yeah his amazing story feels complete. To be honest as much as I adore Jin and Yuna I was low key hoping they'd go the anthology route with this series
Woo I was just saying I need a new game to play from Sony. This hit my checkboxes! I went from no new sony games in the future to LET’S GO!!! Please let there be a CE!
Also as a (beginner) shamisen player I am pleased as punch!
I'm cautiously optimistic. I hope that they tighten up the side content. The fox hunts and haikus and all of the other repetition got really old after a while.
Literally the bomb drop that saved the show for me. Was absolutely tuning out till this came to the screen.
Looks great as expected from SP. We are finally getting out of the bottleneck called covid lockdown, it was about time.
Looks sweet! Gave me the spaghetti western feel too with the trailer music.
I'm happy they didn't give Jin the Aloy treatment and have him star in about 100 games 😅 Ghost was fantastic and we now get a another potentially fantastic game with a new protagonist!
I'm hyped and it gives me a bit of Blue Eye Samurai vibe with the protag.
And before anyone say "female protag = woke" or don't respect Japan history & culture, there's women who were a member of Bushi (warrior) class in old Japan. They called Onna-Musha or Onna-Bugeisha and they did participated in battle / war.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onna-musha
So i think it will not spark unnecessary drama like AC Shadows with Yasuke...hopefully.
Imagine how much tea Sucker Punch must have sipped since the AC Shadows reveal.
Okay so now there are 2 games that are must buys in 2025 and the both start with the letter "G"!
If we’re lucky, maybe it’s a little “Blue-Eyed Samurai”: The Game?
Wonder if we're going to see firearms in the game.
They certainly could have went the more safe and certain route by bringing Jin back, but I'm glad they are giving us a new origin story and character to follow. And It's a woman ronin, super cool.
I think Ghost 2 always felt it would be announced before ND and Bluepoint's next game, so it's a relief to finally check one off the list.
So...are we able to gather from this that all the "Playstation insider leakers" are full of rubbish?
There was rumblings from your grubbs and other oracles that there was a Ghosts of Tsushima 2 in production. But literally none of them pertained to the change of the name, the massive time jump,the female protag or the fact they were moving the series to be a Japanese history anthology rather than an ongoing story.
You just have to conclude from this that all those leakers were just guessing (because of course you'd expect a sequel from a massive game that sold like hotcakes) because there's no way you don't find out some of these details with insider knowledge
when the trailer started I knew what was about to go down I cannot wait ghost of Tsushima was one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had I went into that game without watching any trailers or gameplay only saw the tv advert for it but fell in love with it from the moment I played it easily my most anticipated game of 2025
Disappointed we didn’t get a Jin Sakai sequel but nonetheless, still excited for this. I’m sure it’ll be excellent
Initial impressions look good. I’m very wary of new games right now, so I will hold off until I see a few reviews before I get too excited. It’s set in the past, but is it made for the ‘modern audience’ like so many others that haven’t been selling well lately? It’s a genuine question.
Great announcement, I hope SP finds a way to make the game a little less repetitive.
I want to see more of the world and the graphics, Ghost was quite unique in that way.
Also, I am a dude and I like playing female characters.
Ps Ubisoft is weeping tonight.
