Key Takeaways

  • The upcoming Ghost of Yotei takes place in 1603 with a new female protagonist named Atsu.

As a dedicated fan with over a thousand hours sunk into Ghost of Tsushima, I must say that the announcement of Ghost of Yotei has me absolutely thrilled! The prospect of exploring a new region, meeting a fresh protagonist, and potentially tying her story to Jin Sakai’s is nothing short of exhilarating.


At long last, the highly anticipated expansion for the Ghost of Tsushima series has arrived, transporting us a full 300 years beyond the timeline of the initial game.

Yesterday during PlayStation’s State of Play broadcast, it was unveiled that Ghost of Yotei marks the upcoming addition to the series, which is currently being created by Sucker Punch Productions.

In a new land and several centuries from now, the story unfolds, but Jin Sakai’s influence endures.

As I delve into the immersive world of Ghost of Tsushima, I can’t help but feel the anticipation brewing, knowing firsthand that this game is more than just a standalone title. It’s the genesis of a franchise, a creative endeavor that will undoubtedly spawn from its success, including a film adaptation and other captivating spin-offs, as confirmed by The New York Times in an interview with the game’s creators.

Given that thought, one could view Ghost of Yotei as a potential sequel or spin-off. It’s quite possible that the narrative thread of Jin Sakai‘s story will remain open and could potentially be revisited at a later time.

In 2025, you’ll be able to delve into and appreciate the stunning surroundings of Mt. Yotei as the female protagonist Atsu, named Atsu, in the game Ghost of Yotei. Moreover, it was revealed that the storyline unfolds in the year 1603.

What Do We Know About Ghost of Yotei?

As a die-hard fan, I must admit that while I’m thrilled about the time jump and shift in regions for the upcoming game, there wasn’t too much new information shared about it.

Peering deeper into the game’s trailer, some conversations hint that I, as a character, might be a wandering hunter venturing northward for reasons unlike those of my fellow travelers.

Furthermore, you’ll notice that the main character frequently appears with a lengthy roster of names in various scenes during the trailer, suggesting that there is a specific group of individuals she is aiming for.

In July 2020, Ghost of Tsushima was released, frequently hailed as one of the top PlayStation exclusives. There’s a good chance that the remainder of Jin Sakai’s life could be depicted in a future story, perhaps as a folktale called Ghost of Yotei, and later on, the studio might unveil a main sequel to reveal the true events.
