Anyone up for some spooky cyberpunk vibes will be happy to hear GhostWire: Tokyo will release on March 25.
This announcement came by way of PlayStation’s YouTube channel teasing an upcoming GhostWire: Tokyo gameplay showcase that’s happening on Thursday. One would assume they’d leave that info for the presentation itself, but nope, it’s just sitting there in the video description.
One curious note about GhostWire: Tokyo is that it’s a PS5 console exclusive from Bethesda, which is now part of Xbox Game Studios. Last year, Microsoft bought the Elder Scrolls publisher, but contractual obligations made beforehand mean GhostWire: Tokyo isn’t coming to Xbox consoles anytime soon. Deathloop was in a similar boat last fall.

However, the more prominent Bethesda titles may not come to PS5. The forthcoming space-faring RPG Starfield is probably exclusive to Xbox and PC platforms, and Elder Scrolls 6 will likely follow suit.
At least survival horror fans on PS5 have GhostWire: Tokyo to look forward to, even if it’s not entirely the sprawling epic most expect from a Bethesda title. Funnily enough, The Evil Within 2, Tango Gameworks’ last effort, contained some brilliant open-world chapters. So we might see some of that bleed into GhostWire: Tokyo. Fingers crossed that Thursday’s presentation sheds some light on how much exploration and side-activities there are in the game.
