Earlier on, PlayStation had announced plans to launch exclusive PS5 versions for the game known as Ghost of Yotei. Players can anticipate striking graphics, swift loading speeds thanks to the PS5’s SSD drive, and adaptive triggers in the DualSense Wireless Controller which promise a more engaging gaming experience.

On PlayStation’s website, they haven’t announced the launch dates yet for the limited-edition console, coming with exclusive DualSense Wireless Controllers and console skins that existing PS5 users can buy to customize their consoles. However, some fans were disappointed by the design of the console casings, as the initial PS5 won’t have the Ghost of Yotei emblems. The skins will only be offered for the PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro models.

Sucker Punch is putting in a great effort to deliver an engaging open-world adventure with the upcoming game Ghost of Yotei. Previous players of Ghost of Tsushima expressed concerns about the open world feeling sparse and repetitive at times. Sucker Punch’s creative director, Nate Fox, is dedicated to providing a fresh experience that surpasses those criticisms. In anticipation of its release, fans can expect innovative elements like a hint card system for navigating Atsu’s storyline as it branches out, as well as novel mini-games. Additionally, players will have the option to personalize their gameplay by incorporating tributes to Japanese filmmakers and adjusting play styles accordingly.
