"Ghost of Yōtei", a new spin-off of the "Ghost of Tsushima" series, which was announced in September last year, was earlier confirmed by Sony to be released on PlayStation 9 on October 10, and the collector's edition and other content were also announced.
"Ghost of Yotei" is created by Sucker Punch and presented as a new derivative work of the "Ghost of Tsushima" series. Through the newly released trailer "List of Ghosts", players can get a glimpse of the gameplay charm of "Ghost of Yotei".
The game's story recounts sixteen years ago, in the heart of Ezo (present-day Hokkaido), a group of villains known as the "Yoti Six" stole everything from Atsushi. They murdered her family, nailed her to a ginkgo tree outside her home, and set her on fire. But Atsushi survived. She learned to fight and hunt, and years later, she returned home with a list of six names: Snake, Oni, Fox, Spider, Dragon, and Saito.
She will hunt them down one by one, avenging her loved ones. The katana she wields is the same one that impaled her on the burning ginkgo tree. However, while this journey begins with revenge, Atsuya will discover that it carries far more than just hatred. As she explores Ezo, she will meet unexpected allies, forge bonds, and gradually find a new purpose in life.
In Ghost of Yotei, the open-world exploration system has been enhanced, offering greater freedom and variety than in Ghost of Tsushima. You can decide which clues to pursue and which member of the Yotei Gang to hunt first. Atsushi can also track down other dangerous targets to earn bounties or visit weapon masters to learn new techniques. Ezo is a wild wasteland, both stunningly beautiful and deadly.
Throughout your open-world journey, you'll encounter unexpected dangers and moments of tranquility (including some returning activities familiar to Ghost of Tsushima fans). You can also light a campfire and gaze at the stars at any time in this open-world space. We want everyone to explore Ezo freely at their own pace, and we look forward to sharing more content with you.
Pre-orders for Yotei will be available on May 5nd, with multiple editions available, including a gorgeous Collector's Edition. Pre-order any version of Yotei and receive an exclusive in-game mask on launch day, as well as a set of seven PSN avatars based on concept art of Atsushi and the Yotei Gang (pre-orders on the PlayStation Store will receive these avatars instantly).
The suggested retail price for the standard edition of Yotei Mountain Battle is HK$568 (NT$1990) and is available at retailers or the PlayStation Store. The Digital Deluxe Edition of Yotei Mountain Battle is also available for pre-order through the PlayStation Store for a suggested retail price of HK$628 (NT$2290).
The Digital Deluxe Edition includes the digital version of "Yotei Mountain Warrior" and in-game bonuses, including the Serpent Armor and a different paint job from the original armor. You will also get unique mount and saddle color schemes, as well as early unlocking of the amulet, golden knife and traveler map in the game to help players find statues that can upgrade skills in this world.
The Ghost of Yotei Collector's Edition includes all pre-order bonuses, all in-game items from the Digital Deluxe Edition, the digital version of the game, and a replica of Atsushi's Ghost mask. This mask is a true-to-scale replica of Jin's mask from the Ghost of Tsushima Collector's Edition. The mask measures 6.8 x 5 x 5.9 inches, is made of resin, and comes with a custom display base.
Also included is a replica of Atsushi's ribbon, featuring the names of each of the Yoti Six (though you'll need to cross them out yourself). The ribbon is 71 inches long and made of a cotton blend, perfect for cosplay props or wall decoration.
Also included is a replica of Atsushi's samurai sword tan, handcrafted by her father in this case and featuring a twin wolf totem. Measuring approximately 3 x 3 inches, this tan also comes with its own display stand.
In addition to the above, the Yoteiyama War Ghost Collector's Edition also includes a bag of coins and the rules for the "Coin Flip" game (a skill-based mini-game you can try in-game). It also includes a papercraft ginkgo tree with a wolf at its roots, and a set of four 5×7-inch art cards featuring a cloth belt, a wolf, Atsushi's War Ghost mask, and the main visual image.
