PlayStation and Sucker Punch Productions have announced the release date of its upcoming open-world feudal Japan action title.

Ghost Of Y?tei, the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, will be out on 2nd October 2025 exclusively for PlayStation 5. Sucker Punch Productions also revealed the story synopsis of the sequel.

“Sixteen years ago in the heart of Ezo (called Hokkaido in present day), a gang of outlaws known as the Y?tei Six took everything from Atsu. They killed her family and left her for dead, pinned to a burning ginkgo tree outside her home. But Atsu survived. She learned to fight, to kill, and to hunt, and after years away she has returned to her home with a list of six names: The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito.

One by one, she’s hunting them down to avenge her family, armed with the same katana used to pin her to that burning tree all those years ago. But while Atsu’s story begins with vengeance, she’ll find there’s more to her journey than just revenge. As she explores Ezo, Atsu will meet unlikely allies and forge connections that help give her a new sense of purpose. “

If the game is just more Ghost of Tsushima but in a new map, I’m still OK with that. Looks like Sucker Punch is going to pack this open-world game to the gill with a ton of samurai and ninja killing things to do.

You can pre-order the game starting 2nd May; regular version costs RM299/US$69.99. Pre-order bonuses include Atsu+Yotei Six Avatar Set, and a special in-game mask.

The Digital Deluxe Edition (RM339/US$79.99) includes a digital copy of Ghost of Y?tei plus in-game bonuses including The Snake’s armor set, as well as an alternate dye for your starting armor. You’ll also receive a unique horse color and unique saddle dye, plus an in-game Charm, gold Sword Kit, and an early unlock of Traveler’s Maps, which allow you to find statues throughout the world to upgrade your skills.

The Collector’s Edition which will be available for pre-order at direct.playstation.com in parts of the world where it is available, or at select retailers in other regions. Collector’s Edition pricing will be announced at a later date.

This packed edition includes all of the pre-order bonuses, all in-game items from the Digital Deluxe Edition, and a digital copy of the game³, as well as a replica display edition of Atsu’s Ghost mask. The mask is built to-scale with Jin’s mask from our Ghost of Tsushima Collector’s Edition. If you have both, they look great next to each other on a shelf! The mask measures 6.8 x 5 x 5.9 inches and is made of resin, plus includes its own display stand.

Also included is a replica of Atsu’s sash, complete with the names of all six members of the Y?tei Six (but you’ll have to cross them off yourself). The sash measures 71 inches long and is made of a cotton blend, a perfect cosplay accessory or wall decoration.

There’s also a replica of the Tsuba from Atsu’s katana, forged by her father in the image of two twin wolves. This Tsuba measures roughly 3 x 3 inches and also includes its own display stand.

In addition to all of the above, the Ghost of Y?tei Collector’s Edition also includes a pouch of coins and instructions to play Zeni Hajiki, a game of skill you’ll play throughout Ghost of Y?tei. There’s also a foldable papercraft ginkgo tree along with a wolf at its base, and a set of four 5 x 7-inch art cards featuring the sash, the wolf, Atsu’s Ghost mask, and our key art.
