The specter of Yotei's dual-wielding may indicate an entirely different approach to stealth

Atsu seems more aggressive than Jin

So far, a lot Ghost of Yotei Hiding in the shadows, but it is confirmed that Atsu's journey is fueled by revenge and anger rather than honor and saves Tsushima's people from the invading Mongols. It is not clear how Ghost of Yotei and Ghost of Tsushima There will be a connection, if at all, but the differences are obvious. Atsu's more aggressive nature will be brought to even greater heights with the help of two swords at one's disposal. However, with two katanas available to use, it raises the question of whether Atsu will even have a tanto in his arsenal.

Due to drastic timeline changes, this is possible Ghost of Yotei There may be more weapons yet to be revealed. As of now, though, it looks like Atsu doesn't have Tanto. in Ghost of TsushimaJin uses a small dagger for stealth kills, and if it's missing from Atsu's arsenal, that has huge gameplay implications.

Atsu's confirmed weapon so far

• Katanas
• in Kusariga
• Matchlock guns

His small arsenal doesn't really imply stealth-based combat. The addition to the Kusariga is another exciting development, and while it's close to a mid-range weapon, it may not be the most effective way to kill someone silently. Of course, Atsu might be a lot less worried about the theft than Jin, since she's on a revenge path. Kusariga might just have a need, as he probably knows he'll have to deal with sneak attack incidents. However, doing so with Kusarigama would be a wild choice.

Yotei's ghost promises a thoughtful departure from its predecessor

While the Edo period was defined by a strict social structure, Atsu is shaking things up.

Sometimes it feels rare for developers to take such bold leaps into different areas, and here's why Ghost of Yotei Very exciting. From the early footage, it looks like a fresh and unique story that still stays true to the basics of its predecessor. As more information is revealed, it will be fascinating to see how Ghost of Yotei Quietly approaches.
