Ghost of Yōtei New Trailer
In Ghost of Yōtei, players will follow the journey of Atsu, a survivor seeking vengeance against the notorious Yōtei Six in the heart of Ezo, present-day Hokkaido. These outlaws, comprised of The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito, are responsible for the death of Atsu's family. This standalone sequel, set 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima, promises to build on the success of its predecessor with new weapons, mechanics, and features.
