Since this fall was revealed, Ghost of Yotei It has risen to the top of many players' lists of highly anticipated 2025 releases, based solely on favorites GTA 6. it said, Ghost of Yotei Making some significant changes from its predecessor, featuring a new setting and protagonist and thus a completely different set of story situations, strangely reminiscent of other AAA hits. Red Dead Redemptionwho pulled equally risky moves.
Ghost of Yotei Its reveal shocked the audience, as Soccer Punch revealed that Jin Sakai will not be the protagonist of this long-awaited sequel. In fact, Jin will not be in the game, as it takes place hundreds of years after the events of the first game, and in a completely different area of Japan. While some are seeing this radical change as a welcome bit of experimentation and rebellion, others are less convinced and disappointed that gin won't make a comeback.

Yotei's ghost should not trade repeatability for linearity
As Sucker Punch repeats the Ghost of Tsushima formula with Yotei's Ghost, it takes care to strike a good balance with its open world.
Atsu's Ghost of Yotei could be the 'Arthur Morgan' of the franchise
Arthur Morgan exceeded expectations, and so can Atsu
Gaming audiences were more than suspicious of Jon being taken down by Arthur, but now Red Dead Redemption The fanbase widely considers Arthur to be an iconic character, with many crowning him as the greatest video game hero of all time. That's obviously a pretty lofty title to aspire to, and while Etsu may not be able to reach those heights, she could replace Jin in the hearts of fans. Yotei Solidifying him as the definitive hero of the series.
To be clear, it won't be particularly difficult. Jin Sakai isn't a bad character by any means, and his struggle between honoring his samurai code and taking out the Mongols by any means necessary is compelling enough, but he's also a bit bland. His journey of tradition fighting against reality was good for the endgame, and perhaps his legacy will live on in some form.

The sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, Sucker Punch's Ghost of Yōtei is a PS5 exclusive scheduled to drop at some point in 2025. Taking place in 1603, the story will introduce a new protagonist and a new Japanese region far removed from the setting of Tsushima.
