Ghost of Yōtei will launch on Playstation 5 later this year, on 2nd October. Ghost of Yotei Just Sold Me on a PS5 Pro and Frankly, I'm Furious. Watch on YouTube "It's been nearly five years since we shipped Ghost of Tsushima, and in that time we’ve been hard at work making Ghost of Yōtei something special," wrote Sucker Punch's Andrew Goldfarb, announcing today's release date news. "While the stories are unrelated, it's important to us to make this a worthy follow-up to Jin's journey, and we can't wait for you to experience Atsu's quest for vengeance later this year." The studio also released a new trailer for Ghost of Yōtei, which you can check out below. This trailer gives us more insight into Atsu's aforementioned quest for vengeance. We already knew she was seeking revenge for her ravaged home and family life, but now we know just who it is she is hunting down - that would be a gang of outlaws known as the Yōtei Six. "They killed her family and left her for dead, pinned to a burning ginkgo tree outside her home. But Atsu survived. She learned to fight, to kill, and to hunt, and after years away she has returned to her home with a list of six names: The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito," Sucker Punch teases.

Sucker Punch previously said it is going to ensure Ghost of Yōtei has a less repetitive open world compared to its predecessor, with criticisms for Ghost of Tsushima often directed at its somewhat repetitive activities, so this remark is in keeping with the studio's overall plan for the sequel. Those interested in pre-ordering Ghost of Yōtei will be able to do so from next week, with those pre-orders starting on 2nd May (how is it May next week?!). As is the case with many releases these days, there will be a number of different editions to choose from. Regardless of which edition you plump for, those who do pre-order will receive a unique in-game mask, as well as a set of seven PSN avatars featuring concept art of Atsu and each member of the Yōtei Six (see below).

This edition will be available at certain retailers or via the PlayStation Store. A Digital Deluxe Edition of Ghost of Yōtei will also be available for £79.99 / €89.99. This chap will have the game itself, as well as some bonuses such as The Snake's armor set and an alternate dye for your starting armour. Ghost of Yōtei's Digital Deluxe Edition will also come with a unique horse colour and unique saddle dye, as well as an in-game Charm, gold Sword Kit, and an early unlock of Traveler’s Maps. These will help you find statues throughout the world, which in turn will be useful for upgrading your skills.

There had been some speculation the studio and PlayStation may nudge it back a touch to make way for GTA 6 - a game many expect will dominate the gaming landscape when it releases this autumn (unless it gets delayed).
