There are usually two simple ways a developer can approach a sequel to a beloved hit: build upon the existing foundation to refine what already worked, or take a bold leap in a new direction. Sucker Punch chose the former path with Ghost of Yotei, focusing on refinement over reinvention, polishing the mechanics, and evolving the samurai formula that made Ghost of Tsushima unforgettable.
Ghost of Yotei is a stunning masterpiece that builds on the legacy left by Tsushima. It follows Atsu, a survivor whose family was slain by the Yotei Six, rebels opposing the Shogun’s rule in Ezo. Left for dead beneath a yellow ginkgo tree, a symbol of resilience, Atsu rises to avenge her parents by hunting down each member of the Yotei.
