Ghost of Yotei studio head says the series likely won't ever head to "feudal Europe" or outside of Japan: "We believe the core of Ghost is someone wielding a katana"

Ghost of Yotei lead Atsu in straw hat.

Ghost of Yotei might be in the same series as Ghost of Tsushima, but there's hundreds of years and an entire cast's difference between them. So, what really makes this series a series? It's not Jin Sakai or violent revenge tales. According to developer Sucker Punch's studio head Brian Fleming, the core is amusingly "someone wielding a katana."

That doesn't quite mean the third game can have just anyone with a katana in, let's say, Botswana or Los Angeles and still don the Ghost title. "We believe the core of Ghost is someone wielding a katana, that's part of the essence," Fleming said in a media roundtable even attended by UnGeek.
