Ghost of Tsushima was one of the most beautiful and engaging games on PlayStation when it came out, easily ranking among Sucker Punch Studio's best.
Its success, of course, warranted a proper sequel, and Ghost of Yotei, set later in history on the island of Hokkaido, aims to provide a new and equally stunning Japanese historical experience. It is also just around the corner, so here's everything we know regarding Ghost of Yotei's exact release date and time.
Ghost of Yotei release date countdown
As was announced during the July 10 State of Play, Ghost of Yotei will launch on Oct. 2 this year. Sucker Punch's upcoming narrative-driven game is aiming for a PlayStation-only release initially, with a port likely to come some time after the fact. The exact region-specific release times have not been revealed yet, so our counter below will target Oct. 2 at midnight CDT.
Ghost of Yotei is not a direct sequel to Ghost of Tsushima. It is thematically and aesthetically connected to the game and shares much of its gameplay features with Sucker Punch's first title. However, it is its own story, set over three centuries after the first game's narrative—1603 to be exact.
Thus, technology is more advanced and the landscape much different, especially as Ghost of Yotei is set on the island of Hokkaido, then called Ezo. The protagonist is also different and on the path of vengeance, strikingly different from Jin's samurai-code-influenced quest to save his island from the enemy.
