Ghost of Yotei Release Date Announced

Grab
your
swords,
people,
because
Sony
has
surprised
us
by
randomly
announcing

Ghost
of
Yotei’s
release
date.

The
sequel
to
the
outstanding
Ghost
of
Tsushima
will
launch
on
October
2nd
for

PS5,
which
just
so
happens
to
be
my
birthday.
A
new
trailer
for
the
game
was
also
released
to
celebrate
the
announcement.

“Sixteen
years
ago
in
the
heart
of
Ezo
(called
Hokkaido
in
present
day),
a
gang
of
outlaws
known
as
the
Yōtei
Six
took
everything
from
Atsu,”
reads
the
blurb.
“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.”

The
trailer
gives
us
a
few
fun
glimpses
of
gameplay,
like
a
wolf
companion
wrecking
enemies.
My
favourite
detail
is
that
protagonist
Atsu
uses
her
list
of
targets
to
clean
her
blade.
That’s
freaking
badass.
