Ghost of Yōtei

A new heroine in Ezo

Developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, Ghost of Yōtei launched on 2 October 2025 on PS5. You play Atsu, a fighter seeking revenge, in an open world set in Ezo (today’s Hokkaido). A Complete Edition followed on 12 August 2026: according to the PlayStation Store it adds the Echoes of Sekigahara story expansion and the Public Enemy mode, alongside the online co-op Legends mode shown on the official site.

What the press says

IGN finds the story predictable but well executed, praising gorgeous landscapes, fluid combat and a stronger lead, while noting the novelty has lost some of its sheen since Tsushima. Push Square calls it a sequel that improves on its predecessor in every way: player freedom, combat, story and use of PS5 features. GamingBolt praises the art direction, soundtrack, activities and expanded weapon set, but flags dialogue animations that need polish and overly simple progression. Eurogamer is more reserved: it enjoys the swordplay and storytelling but feels the game would be better as a linear action game, finding its side quests and open world dated. TheSixthAxis gives it 9/10.

Platforms and prices

The game is PS5-only as of the check date. On 11 November 2026 the digital Complete Edition costs €79.99 on the French PlayStation Store with no discount shown; an upgrade to that edition costs €14.99 for owners of the base game. The PlayStation Store listing shows French voice-over and text. The standard disc edition is sold on PlayStation Direct; its price could not be checked here.

Who is it for?

Fans of open-world action-adventure, especially those who enjoyed Ghost of Tsushima. Players hoping for a clean break from the first game should read IGN’s and Eurogamer’s reservations.
