The Ghost of Yōtei State of Play deep dive is coming on Thursday
Sony has announced that the Ghost of Yōtei gameplay reveal State of Play stream will take place this Thursday, 10th July at 10PM UK time.
The State of Play stream will bring around 20 minutes of new Ghost of Yōtei gameplay, hosted by Sucker Punch Creative Directors Jason Connell and Nate Fox.
In particular, we can expect to see Atsu’s new weapons, how you can personalise your journey through Japan, new special modes and more hints at the game’s story.
So, tune in at the official YouTube channel 2pm PT / 5pm ET / 10pm BST / 11pm CEST on 10th July for all those juicy details.
But here’s what we know so far.
Ghost of Yōtei is not a direct sequel to Jin Sakai’s story, but is instead jumping forward in time by a couple hundred years and to a new location. Set in the Ezo region (modern day Hokkaido) around Mount Yôtei and in the year 1603, there’s a real Western vibe to some of the scenery and imagery that has been used for the game’s trailers.
That means there’s also a new Ghost to play as, named Atsu. Hers, as is so often the case for this kind of fiction, is a tale of revenge. A gang of outlaws known as the Yōtei Six killed Atsu’s family and left her for dead, pinned to a burning ginkgo tree. But she’s not dead, and instead spent the last sixteen years learning to fight, kill and hunt. Now she’s returning to her home to track down The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito one by one and seek vengeance.
Looking back on out original Ghost of Tsushima review, Aran said, “Ghost of Tsushima is an artistic triumph, capturing a real cinematic feel through its visuals, immersive world and soundtrack. However, Jin is a serviceable main character and he and his journey to save Tsushima is often overshadowed by secondary characters and smaller, more personal stories found in the side quests. Throw in some formulaic missions and an awkward user interface, and Ghost of Tsushima is at times more style than substance.”
Ghost of Yōtei will launch on 20th October for PS5.
