What to expect from the game
Ghost of Yōtei, a standalone sequel to the critically acclaimed Ghost of Tsushima, transports players to the untamed landscapes of Japan in the 1600s. Set 300 years after the events in Tsushima, this game introduces players to a merciless yet emotionally driven protagonist, Atsu, a haunted mercenary seeking vengeance for her family’s death.
The narrative explores themes of revenge, redemption, and human connection. You’ll uncover Atsu’s deep, personal story and her pursuit of justice, along with her discovery of unexpected allies who challenge her lone-wolf mentality.
