Ghost of Yōtei

From the visionary studio Sucker Punch Productions, creators of the award-winning Ghost of Tsushima, emerges a new, standalone saga of vengeance and survival: Ghost of Yōtei. Set in the unforgiving wilderness of 17th-century Japan, this action-adventure epic invites you to walk the path of a warrior haunted by her past.

A Tale Forged in Blood and Revenge

The story begins with a brutal massacre. As a child, Atsu is left for dead after her family is slaughtered by the infamous “Yōtei Six,” a band of ruthless warriors led by the treacherous Lord Saitō. Miraculously surviving, Atsu flees her home and spends the next sixteen years as a wandering mercenary, honing her skills for a single purpose: revenge.

She returns to the snow-swept lands of Ezo (modern-day Hokkaido) not as a noble samurai, but as a vengeful spirit—a lone wolf whispered about in fear as the “Onryō“. Her quest is to hunt down each member of the Yōtei Six, but this path will lead her into a larger conflict between Lord Saitō’s rebel army and the shogun-loyal Matsumae clan, forcing her to forge unexpected alliances and confront the ghosts of her past.

Master the Art of the Mercenary

Ghost of Yōtei evolves the signature combat of its predecessor, offering a brutal and precise fighting system that feels like a classic samurai film.

• A Lone Wolf’s Arsenal: Atsu is not bound by a samurai’s code. She is a pragmatic mercenary who uses every dirty trick to win. Master a diverse range of weapons, including swift dual katanas, the long-reaching yari (spear), the unpredictable kusarigama, and the powerful odachi blade. Each weapon offers unique advantages against different enemy types.

• Strategic & Fluid Combat: Engage enemies head-on with lethal precision or use stealth to your advantage. Disarm opponents, adapt your strategy as they switch weapons, and use the environment to gain the upper hand. A deep arsenal of ranged tools, including bows, rifles, and blinding powders, complements your swordplay.

• Forge Your Legend: As you eliminate your targets and aid the local populace, your legend will grow. A rising bounty on your head will attract deadlier and more skilled foes, challenging your abilities at every turn.

Explore a Living, Breathing World

The world of Ghost of Yōtei is a character in itself—a bleak, beautiful, and perilous landscape surrounding Mount Yōtei.

• Dynamic Exploration: Discover new adventures through an innovative “clue system” that leads you to hidden locations, powerful abilities, and formidable enemies.

• Build Your Wolf Pack: You are not entirely alone. Along your journey, you will meet allies who form your “Wolf Pack,” offering quests, upgrades, and support. A mysterious wolf will even join you as a companion, fighting by your side.

• Immersive Side Activities: Set up camp to rest, cook, play your shamisen, or bond with your allies. Meditate in serene hot springs or practice your swordsmanship by cutting bamboo.
