Ghost of Yotei gives you guns and swords this time, and the devs want to avoid the "repetitive nature" of some open-world games

Ghost of Tsushima sequel Ghost of Yotei reveal trailer screenshot.

Ghost of Yotei, the sequel to 2020's samurai open-world game Ghost of Tsushima is doing what every good sequel should: giving the main character a gun. 

Announced at the PlayStation State of Play this week, Ghost of Yotei sets out to tell the tale of new female protagonist Atsu's journey in 1603 – more than 300 years after the events of Tsushima. Of course, with sequels comes iteration on gameplay mechanics, and what better way to do that than by introducing firearms into the mix.
