Ghost of Yotei was revealed during last night's PlayStation State of Play event as the sequel to the 2020 action-adventure hit Ghost of Tsushima - and it turns out its title may have more significant historical implications than initially meet the eye.
As reported by Automaton, a Japanese scholar of Ainu culture and language has pointed out as much. Speaking on the title "Ghost of Yotei," Itsuji Tangiku explains that the inclusion of "Yotei" is likely an intentional inaccuracy. "The fact that Ghost of Yotei is set in Hokkaido, Japan in 1603 is amazing," he writes in his thread on the matter. "It encompasses the meaning of 'ghost' in many ways. It has to be intentional."
