Throughout September 24’s Sony State of Play, Sucker Punch revealed the long-awaited first trailer for its Ghost of Tsushima sequel. And boy howdy, it certain does look fairly.
Ghost of Yōtei is the title of the newly revealed sequel and it’s set in a unique a part of Japan, just a few hundred years after the occasions of the primary sport, and stars a brand new character, Atsu. We don’t know rather more in regards to the story, however Sucker Punch did make it clear in a weblog put up printed after the reveal that it “needed to discover what it may imply to have a brand new hero sporting a Ghost masks, and uncovering a brand new legend.” The setting, in keeping with the weblog put up, is the 12 months 1603, in “the lands surrounding Mount Yōtei” within the area of Japan that at this time is called Hokkaido. That’s all we actually know in regards to the story and world of this sequel.
Trying on the new 4K trailer posted by Sony, it actually looks like Ghost of Yōtei was designed not solely to showcase the ability of the PS5, but in addition to point out off the newly introduced $700 PS5 Professional. It’s surprising to me that Sony didn’t embody this sport within the PS5 Professional announcement, at the same time as a tiny teaser, to point out off one thing completely new and superb wanting, operating on the expensive console.
In accordance with Sucker Punch, that is the primary sport they’ve constructed from “the bottom up” for PS5. And I anticipate Ghost of Yōtei will take full benefit of the PS5 Professional. Right here’s what Sucker Punch needed to say about engaged on the PS5.
That is additionally Sucker Punch’s first sport constructed from the bottom up for PlayStation 5, and we’re excited to construct on the visible basis we established in Ghost of Tsushima by making the world really feel much more actual. Now we have huge sightlines that allow you to look far throughout the atmosphere, entire new skies that includes twinkling stars and auroras, much more plausible motion from wind on grass and vegetation, and extra enhancements we’ll share sooner or later. Our new setting additionally offers us the chance to introduce new mechanics, gameplay enhancements, and even new weapons.
And now, let’s have a look at some fairly screenshots of this gorgeous-looking sport, which is about to launch someday in 2025.
