Ghost of Tsushima was a remarkable game that concluded the PS4 generation with a bang. Sucker Punch took a bold step by venturing into a new IP, departing from its previous Infamous or Sly Cooper games, to focus on a more realistic and historically influenced game about the Mongol invasion of Tsushima. While fans anticipated a continuation of the story, a new entry has been unveiled in the form of Ghost of Yotei, making significant changes while staying true to the essence of the series. Let’s delve into what this upcoming PS5 game has to offer.
Release Date Window
As of now, the expected release window for Ghost of Yotei is sometime in 2025. With no specific timeframe provided, it’s likely to launch in the latter half of the year, possibly as PlayStation’s major fall or winter release. Stay tuned for further updates as more details surface.
Platforms
Ghost of Yotei will be a PlayStation 5 exclusive, at least initially. While there’s a tendency for PlayStation to release its single-player games on PC after a year or more, an official confirmation is awaited. Nevertheless, it’s safe to assume that the game may eventually make its way to PC post that timeframe.
