Sucker Punch is finally providing players what they need, a gameplay deep dive for Ghost of Yotei in July 2025.
Sucker Punch was present at PlayStation’s State of Play event today, only to announce that a dedicated Ghost of Yotei gameplay showcase is planned for next month. The showcase will feature an extended look at new and evolved gameplay mechanics, which include exploration, combat and much more. Also, the teaser featured Atsu and her wolf companion, and it seems like the developers might focus on these two during the Ghost of Yotei gameplay deep dive.
Ghost of Yotei’s combat gameplay will be fascinating; we only caught a glimpse of it in the last trailer. However, players are waiting to see some of the newer weapons in action. In the previous trailer, we saw Atsu use the dual katanas, but we have yet to see her use the ōdachi and kusarigama. We also saw some traversal mechanics, with Atsu walking a tight rope, sliding down mountains and even using grappling hooks.
Ghost of Yotei releases on October 2, 2025, and players can pre-order the Standard or Deluxe edition right now. For those wondering, the events of the upcoming title take place 300 years after Ghost of Tsushima and follow the story of a lone mercenary, Atsu, in the 1600s. She is on a quest for revenge, to hunt down the enemies that killed her family.
Atsu’s quest takes her to the region of Ezo, filled with unexplored lands, picturesque parts of northern Japan, grasslands, snowy ridges, fields of wildflowers, and more. Your goal is to hunt down the Yotei Six; how you do it is up to you.
In other news, Ghost of Yotei developers have revealed why they chose a female protagonist. Also, Astro Bot has received Ghost of Yotei VIP bots. Are you excited for Ghost of Yotei’s gameplay deep dive next month? Let us know below and join the official Insider Gaming forums discussion.
