Like its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yotei is shaping up to make a strong case for digital tourism. A new video released by Sony shows off several scenic locales from the upcoming game, and best of all, you don’t have to worry about any bandits or ronin interrupting your tour of Ezo while listening to an extended version of “The North” from composer Toma Otowa’s soundtrack for the game.
Ghost of Yotei officially launches on October 2 for PS5, and as that date draws closer, Sony and developer Sucker Punch Productions have shared more details on it. Set hundreds of years after Ghost of Tsushima and revolving around a quest for vengeance, Sucker Punch is aiming to keep players from feeling overwhelmed by open-world monotony while they travel across Ezo.
“Maybe the wind is telling you, if you would like to continue the story, go that way,” game director Nate Fox said. “But you see something out of the corner of your eye that catches your curiosity. And you say, ‘you know what? I’m going to go check that out.’ That moment where the game’s not telling you really about where to go or what to do. It’s you. That’s the most beautiful thing about open-world games.”
