Comparing the upcoming “Ghost of Yotei” to “Assassin’s Creed” isn’t unreasonable, despite their unique aspects. While they differ significantly in many ways, “Ghost of Tsushima” shares similarities with “Assassin’s Creed,” as it offers a blockbuster action-adventure narrative set in real-world history. Players will find themselves immersed in a vast open-world teeming with collectibles, side activities, and outposts to conquer. The combination of melee combat and stealth enhanced by parkour in “Tsushima” reinforces the comparisons to “Assassin’s Creed.
Without much surprise, the upcoming game, Ghost of Yotei, is being likened to Assassin’s Creed more than ever before. Coincidentally, both games are set for release this year, with Assassin’s Creed Shadows being Ubisoft’s portrayal of feudal Japan, and Ghost of Yotei featuring a female warrior reminiscent of Naoe from Shadows. Although the games are set in different periods of Japanese history, it’s not hard to see why viewers might draw comparisons between the two, given the striking similarities between Ghost of Tsushima and past Assassin’s Creed installments. With a recent trailer for Ghost of Yotei, it seems that these comparisons could become even more pronounced.
Previously mentioned, the trailer for “Ghost of Yotei” confirms its much-awaited release date, which is set for October 2, 2025.
Ghost of Yotei’s Recent Trailer Makes It Seem Even More Like Assassin’s Creed
Ghost of Yotei’s Plot May Seem Familiar to Contemporary Assassin’s Creed Players
The latest trailer for the Ghost of Yotei, titled “The Onryo’s List,” unveils its tale of vengeance. In this game, Atsu serves as the protagonist who seems to have endured a significant loss at the hands of a band of ronin, each embodying different animals and mythical creatures. The story appears to revolve around Atsu’s quest for retribution, with at least one playable flashback sequence offering insights into her past. For those who have played Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the plotline will likely seem strikingly similar.
In the game titled “AC Shadows,” the protagonists are Yasuke and Naoe, particularly the latter who is driven by a desire for vengeance against a gang of ronin responsible for her father’s death. As players advance through Naoe’s narrative, they systematically eliminate these culprits one at a time, furthering the plot. Each of these antagonists is portrayed as a distinct and formidable adversary, creating the framework for the storyline. Similar to “Ghost of Yotei,” “Assassin’s Creed Shadows” offers players glimpses into Naoe’s past through flashbacks, providing context for the tragic event that sparked her quest for revenge.
In a similar vein to Shadows, many contemporary Assassin’s Creed games follow a sweeping narrative structure where the player-character systematically takes down members of a malevolent organization. This process is reminiscent of crossing off items on a grisly to-do list. For example, Assassin’s Creed Origins isn’t just about battling the Order of the Ancients; it also revolves around avenging Basim’s son’s death.
Why Ghost of Yotei’s Story Will Still Be Different from Assassin’s Creed’s
Although Ghost of Yotei and recent Assassin’s Creed games might seem alike at first glance, it’s clear that the storyline for Ghost of Yotei will be unique in significant ways. The primary difference lies in Atsu’s personal motivation, which sets her apart from the characters in the Assassin’s Creed series. While Atsu may have some social reasons or justifications for her violent pursuits, there won’t be a sprawling, multi-generational conflict like the one seen in the Assassin’s Creed franchise. In simpler terms, Atsu’s quest for vengeance will likely be more personal and focused, as her adversaries are not part of an enigmatic, magical organization such as the Order of Ancients. This should make Ghost of Yotei a more compact and self-contained story compared to the anthology-like nature of Assassin’s Creed.
