Sucker Punch Productions is aiming to make Ghost of Yotei feel less repetitive than Ghost of Tsushima because the team doesn't want to "make the players do the same things over and over again."

Speaking to Automaton, co-directors Nate Fox and Jason Connell emphasize that they remain fond of Ghost of Tsushima. That said, certain things could've been done better. It's a good thing, then, that the team has Ghost of Yotei to apply some learnings to.
