A new ghost is ready for her revenge. Sucker Punch Productions and Sony Interactive Entertainment have unveiled the official trailer and Oct. 2 release date for “Ghost of Yōtei,” the hotly-anticipated standalone sequel to 2020’s “Ghost of Tsushima.” The game, which takes place 329 years after the events of “Tsushima,” follows the warrior Atsu on her bloody quest for revenge at the dawn of the Edo period. Related Stories It’s not easy to follow up a masterpiece like “Ghost of Tsushima.” The samurai action-adventure game was an instant hit among players, selling over 2.4 million units in its first three days and becoming PlayStation 4’s fastest-selling first-party original IP debut. There’s also a film adaptation in the works at Sony, and an anime series based on the game’s multiplayer mode coming to Crunchyroll in 2027. So the pressure was on for the Sucker Punch team when it came time to craft the sequel. Popular on Variety “Games are hard to make, and sequels are tough,” says “Ghost of Yōtei” co-creative director Jason Connell. “Before we go and make a second version of something, we have to ask ourselves, ‘What’s the core of it? What are the things that we feel we never walk away from?’ Samurai cinema-inspired combat. Lethal precision in the way it’s felt in the controller. We really loved creating the beautiful world.” During a research trip to Hokkaido (called Ezo at the time “Yōtei” takes place), co-creative director Nate Fox says the sequel’s world suddenly came into focus. “Hokkaido is filled with jaw-dropping beauty, juxtaposed with danger,” he says. “We were hiking through a forest. We saw a tree that had bear claw marks on it. And up until that moment, we were looking at these snow-capped mountains. Right then, it was clear that there were predators in the forest as well, so you had to divide your attention between a gorgeous view and being scared for your life.” As shown in the new trailer, Atsu will have to do just that, facing off with fearsome foes while traveling through both lush blue fields of flowers and rocky, mountainous terrain. Fox and Connell sat down with Variety to break down the action-packed trailer and what fans can expect from Atsu’s epic journey for vengeance. In following a game like “Ghost of Tsushima,” what qualities were most important to you when crafting the sequel? Jason Connell: We really love making origin stories. We thought about what’s going to be our next origin story, thinking about an underdog character inside of this not-been-done-before Hokkaido. It’s not a very particularly popular place in a lot of entertainment media, even though it’s a really popular place for travel. It’s an astoundingly beautiful place in the Edo period with a very dangerous landscape. Putting this underdog character on a vengeance quest up here, but keeping all those aspects of the “Ghost” IP: lethal precision combat, rewarding exploration, big open world inside this beautiful landscape. That’s how it got birthed. Nate Fox: Relatable humanity is something that we really keep close to our chest. We want to make sure that these characters are people that you can relate to, even though you’re getting to know somebody that lived hundreds of years ago. And while our games are inspired by the history of feudal Japan, they are fictional stories, right? People going through a landscape that’s inspired to have that feeling of authenticity, but is otherwise really about the experience of these characters while they grow and change and explore these places that we long for the player to get lost in. This new trailer gives us our first glimpse at the motives behind the new protagonist, Atsu. What can you tell me about her? Fox: Our new hero, Atsu, is somebody you meet early in her life, and this is her origin story, and it’s one of heartbreak. She suffers a horrible loss in her youth, and then sets off on a quest for revenge. Revenge is a classic samurai cinema trope, and we love samurai cinema. Atsu is going to hunt down the members of the Yotei Six that did her wrong and get revenge. And in the process of hunting them down and overcoming all of their forces, she defies the odds. And people start to think she’s more than human. They start to think that she is an “onryō,” which is a folk tale ghost that is an unstoppable force for vengeance. Exclusive concept art for “Ghost of Yōtei” Sucker Punch / Sony Some accused the game of being “woke” when Atsu was revealed as the main character. Why was a female protagonist the right choice for this story? Connell: We knew we had all these fans who love “Tsushima.” We want to carry all of those fans forward into an exciting new adventure. We’re creatives. We like to make new things. We like to make exciting, new pieces of art and move people in new ways. We want to make a sequel that’s fresh but familiar. Nate and I are pretty enamored with making origin stories, and certainly one that we could find a way to make them feel like a bit of an underdog in this landscape. This is a pretty dangerous landscape, which positions her to be an excellent person for that. This is somebody that people would not expect to be so powerful, yet here she is on this romp of a vengeance quest, which is probably pretty unexpected for some people. Over time, she’ll get this name of The Onryō, because this Japanese folk legend is an unkillable, vengeance-seeking ghost. And that’s just an awesome fit. Onryō are typically stories of vengeance from females. So that seems like a really nice package for this. The landscape of Hokkaido looks even more intricate and far-reaching than the island of Tsushima. How did you craft the open world and what did you learn about the Edo period that inspired your take in this game? Fox: This is the most open game we’ve ever made. One of the greatest joys is just getting lost. You let your curiosity guide you through the landscape. We view that as this holy moment that we want to uplift for players so that they can feel very present inside of Hokkaido, or Ezo, as it was called back when our game takes place. Ezo is a character in and of itself that’s filled with hidden secrets and an anthology of stories. Connell: It’s just so wild and nature-filled. There’s an opportunity to tell a slightly more wild and rural version of this story than if it was in a major city. There’s so many biomes to bring to life and so many majestic and beautiful locations to take inspiration from. There’s no way we could take it all, so we get to cherry pick some of the most beautiful locations and bring them alive to our players. Exclusive concept art for “Ghost of Yōtei” Sucker Punch / Sony Let’s dive into the combat mechanics. I’m sure the blade will still be the star here, but does the later time period open the game up to more advanced weapon technology? Fox: We have the benefit of gunpowder being part of the combat mix. While the Katana is still the most valuable weapon, having some more opportunities to blow things up is never a bad addition for a video game. Connell: We’ve teased the kusarigama, and obviously, she’s got two swords, so there’s a cool dual-wielding element there. In this trailer, there’s a frame towards the end where you get to see a spear, which is called a yari. Being able to play with such a different variety of weapons is so new for the game’s feel. Each one of them has their own benefits. Fox: The weapons are big deal, of course, because mastering a weapon is part of the feeling of samurai cinema. Becoming a master of that blade is integral to it. But we wanted to give players an even bigger connection to the weapons and the land. So inside of Ezo, you can find teachers who will teach you how to use that weapon in a very organic way that you might see inside of these films. So you get to experience what it’s like to grow as a martial artist along with Atsu. You’ve brought up samurai cinema a few times! Which title gave you the most inspiration for this franchise? Fox: “Yojimbo” by Akira Kurosawa is very, very big in both of our minds as being this tonal jumping-off point for what it’s like to be a wandering sellsword, which Atsu is. Exclusive concept art for “Ghost of Yōtei” Sucker Punch / Sony What do you most hope players take away from “Ghost of Yōtei” when they finally get their hands on it? Connell: I really hope that they take away a deep sense of immersion, of getting lost in the landscape, looking out on the horizon, seeing something that’s interesting and riding towards it. Fox: I hope players feel like they really know how to use a sword. There’s that moment when you play video games, and it stops being the character in the screen, and it becomes you. You say things like, “I died.” That feeling of mastery with different weapons, and when you overcome a group of enemies, and you’re alive, kind of splattered with digital blood. It’s the samurai cinema fantasy come true under your own control. And I hope people feel like that was them in that moment, succeeding, winning against all odds. The ending of “Ghost of Tsushima” famously presents the player with a final choice: they can either kill Lord Shimura and give him a warrior’s death, or spare his life and abandon the samurai code forever. Which ending do you choose? Fox: There is no wrong choice. However, from my point of view, if you love Uncle Shimura like I loved him, I gave him what he asked for, which was death. Connell: I might have been on the other side of the fence on this one. There’s not many times [Nate] and I differ, and I cannot believe that it’s taken this long. You’re the first person to ask us.

But in most games I feel like its kinda dumb.   MadJosh04 Member Nov 9, 2022 2,529 I normally don't have issues with sliding sections. I usually find them to be thrilling. I haven't played the part of whatever Jedi game that was in the OP, but whoever was playing was pissing me off lol  Bear Member Oct 25, 2017 12,181 Yeah it's fun. I don't remember it being hard in Jedi.   BigHatSean Member Apr 21, 2025 2 In Xenoblade Chronicles, there was a sliding section in Valak Mountain over a pit. If you timed the jump at the end, you got to a different area, if you didn't time it well but still jumped, you ended up elsewhere (I might be wrong about this). I remember cracking up at the speed you picked up. But it was annoying. I can't say I like them much especially if the jump part feels stiff and scripted for the players safety. The dying part can be enjoyable imo.

Well: PS3+PS4 at Japanese launch (PS4 localised 2 years after) PC version then done a few years after that Then Xbox version Now the DC for (at least) Switch 2. Guess the whole thing was a DC, not a remake for the Direct... naturally my question is "what is being added/changed". As in my opinion, very little in 0 needs changing (I mean, without rewriting major chunks of the game). Since new cutscenes are a thing, Im gonna need some added Majima cutscenes that smooth his transition to Yakuza 1 better. Also, since its a DC... for the love of Nugget, fix that fucking JCC mini game. You know, so it isnt a rigged POS anymore... Do that, and its a 10/10 for me.  jungius Banned Sep 5, 2021 3,537 I am so happy but they have to make it clear whats been added and will this ported to other platform   convo Member Oct 25, 2017 8,906 DespiteTheNora said: How many releases for this game now?

Ghost of Yōtei, Sucker Punch’s sequel to its 2020 open-world samurai adventure Ghost of Tsushima, will come to PlayStation 5 on Oct. 2. It’s the first tentative toe-dip into the fall release window by a game industry that has been running scared of Rockstar’s behemoth. GTA 6 has been confirmed for a fall release by Rockstar’s parent company Take-Two Interactive, and other publishers are reportedly considering delaying their games to get out of its way. One publishing executive told The Game Business that a late October or early November release date for GTA 6 was their greatest fear: “We don’t want to launch just before or just after the game. If it arrives in late October, that means you either have to launch early – which a lot of people seem to be doing with the recent glut of summer release dates. Or go later, putting you up against the Black Friday sales.” Prior to Ghost of Yōtei’s release date announcement, the latest big releases on the 2025 calendar were Borderlands 4 and Marathon, both due on Sept. 23. It seems like Sony considers day two of October early enough to be safe. Sony also debuted a new story trailer for the game, with a lot of cut-scene and a little bit of gameplay footage, detailing lead character Atsu’s quest for vengeance as she hunts down six names responsible for the death of her family. Pre-orders for Ghost of Yōtei begin at 10 a.m. EDT on May 2, including for a packed Collector’s Edition, which includes a replicas of Atsu’s Ghost mask, sash, and the Tsuba from her katana. Sony didn’t announce a price for this edition, though. The standard edition of the game will cost $69.99 and there will be a $79.99 digital deluxe edition, too. Head over to the PlayStation Blog for full details.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, which preceded The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, is one of the most modded games of all time; despite it’s age, the modding community remains vibrant. While Oblivion’s modding community has been much smaller, it’s still active — and interest has grown since Oblivion Remastered was released Tuesday. The catch, though, is that developer Bethesda Game Studios isn’t “officially” supporting mods for the game. That, of course, doesn’t mean you can’t mod Oblivion. You absolutely can. In the past, Bethesda has offered officially-made tools to help support the mod community. “Mods are not officially supported for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered,” Bethesda wrote on its support website. “If you are experiencing gameplay issues while playing with mods, it’s recommended you first try uninstalling your mods, then verify your games files on Steam, or the Xbox App.” For Skyrim and other games like Starfield and Fallout 4, Bethesda allowed players to download and tinker with the game using the official Creation Kit. The Creation Kit is an editor that makes it more streamlined to modify the game’s quests, characters, and other parts of the game. Oblivion itself had official mod support when it was released 19 years ago, too. It was called the Construction Set, available only to PC players. Oblivion players on Reddit suggest that you’re able to open the new game files using the Construction Set tools from the old game. (Polygon has not confirmed this.) Regardless of official mod support, modders are already working on Oblivion Remastered. The game’s been out for less than a day, and there are already more than 100 mods listed on popular modding website NexusMods — everything from “engine tweaks” and game optimization to a difficulty slider and colorful reshades.

Menu Home News Hardware Gaming Mobile Finance Deals Reviews How To Wccftech Gaming Assassin’s Creed Shadows Was The Best-Selling Game In The US For March 2025, While Fortnite Was The Most-Played Game On Consoles David Carcasole • Apr 23, 2025 at 12:19pm EDT Circana executive director and video game industry analyst Mat Piscatella has published the latest monthly sales charts for US video game sales for March 2025, with Assassin's Creed Shadows at the top of the list. Shadows was the best-selling game in the US for March 2025, which isn't surprising given that Piscatella had already reported that Shadows dominated the weekly sales charts during its first three weeks on the market. And that it had already risen to being the second-best-selling game in 2025 so far, just behind Monster Hunter Wilds. Following behind Shadows was MLB The Show 25, which was the second-best-selling game for March 2025, and has risen to the fourth-best-selling game for 2025 so far. Hazelight's latest release, Split-Fiction, made it to the number five spot for best-selling games in March 2025 and was just able to crack the top 10 best-selling games of the year in the number 10 spot. In terms of player engagement and what was the most-played game for the month, that list is less changed, with Fortnite at the top of the list for monthly active users in March 2025 on consoles. The rest of the list was essentially the same, with the rest of the usual suspects of Marvel Rivals, Minecraft, Roblox, Call of Duty, and Grand Theft Auto V all mostly in their same places as last month or changed by only a day or two. Regarding hardware sales, PlayStation 5 still came out on top, even with hardware sales declining for the month overall by 25%, and PS5 sales in particular dropping 26%, compared to March 2024. The new Midnight Black DualSense, however, led the accessories sales charts. All together, a very strong start for Assassin's Creed Shadows, with Ubisoft now hoping to keep the momentum going into the rest of the year.

Menu Home News Hardware Gaming Mobile Finance Deals Reviews How To Wccftech HardwareLeak NVIDIA’s Tegra239 SoC Is “Confirmed” To Be Present In Nintendo’s Switch 2; Chip Shot Surface For The First Time Muhammad Zuhair • Apr 23, 2025 at 11:38am EDT It looks like Nintendo's Switch 2 did contain NVIDIA's magic, similar to its previous-gen counterpart, as the chip gets pictured online for the first time. NVIDIA's Tegra239 Chip Indeed Powers Up Nintendo Switch 2; Features An ARM-Based Architecture With Decent Performance With the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, we learned about the device's capabilities, such as the 4K 60 FPS output with the docking station, but we didn't get much information about which chip powers the device. We do know that Nintendo is in an agreement with NVIDIA to utilize its custom-made Tegra SoCs, which leads us to speculate that the device would feature the next-gen Tegra239 chip. And now, this has been confirmed, as @Kurnalsalts has shared a chip shot which appears to be of NVIDIA's Tegra239 chip, labelled as "T239". The post doesn't provide any other information, so we would likely have to rely on previous information when it comes to the specifications of the SoC. Based on what we know, the chip is said to feature eight Arm Cortex-A78C cores, a hybrid GPU featuring Ada Lovelace and Ampere elements, and 1536 CUDA cores. The CPU speed is estimated to be at 1.1 GHz to 1.5 GHz, with the varying figures accounting for speeds in docking mode. Along with this, we are looking at a 128-bit memory interface, featuring the LPDDR5 technology. Interestingly, the details around Tegra239 are pretty slim, so we cannot go much into the specifics, but we do know that the SoC supports DLSS upscaling technology, which contributes significantly to the performance of the console. For a quick rundown on specifications, you can take a look at our post here, where we have discussed the device in detail. With the Tegra239 chip, NVIDIA has shown that its custom ASIC ambitions are still high, and that in partnership with ARM, Team Green still has exclusivity maintained with Nintendo Switch. The bigger question here lies in when NVIDIA will unveil its chip for the AI PC market, which has been speculated to happen since last year. It was claimed that Team Green would partner up with MediaTek to release an ARM-focused SoC, likely called the N1X and N1 series, but there's no update on them for now.
