Yotei Ghost Gameplay Revealed at State of Play, Launches in October

Sucker Punch Productions will showcase Ghost of Yōtei gameplay in a dedicated State of Play event next month.

Details about the highly anticipated samurai sequel's improvements were shared in a PlayStation Blog post following today's June 2025 State of Play. While Ghost of Tsushima's successor made a brief appearance at the end of the presentation, this mostly served as confirmation that Sucker Punch remains focused on delivering the game by its October launch window.

Though Ghost of Yōtei's fleeting appearance might disappoint fans, the upcoming July State of Play promises extensive gameplay insights to ease the wait. While Sucker Punch hasn't confirmed the exact date, the presentation will focus exclusively on Ghost of Yōtei, highlighting its "refined gameplay systems across exploration, combat, and other key features."

The studio officially revealed its Ghost of Tsushima follow-up last September, introducing new protagonist Atsu and her violent journey through 1603 Japan. While details have been scarce since the 2020 original, director Nate Fox emphasizes the team remains committed to delivering another culturally respectful portrayal of Japan.
