Throughout September 24’s Sony State of Play, Sucker Punch revealed the long-awaited first trailer for its Ghost of Tsushima sequel. And boy howdy, it certain does look fairly.
Ghost of Yōtei is the identify of the newly revealed sequel and it’s set in a special a part of Japan, just a few hundred years after the occasions of the primary sport, and stars a brand new character, Atsu. We don’t know rather more in regards to the story, however Sucker Punch did make it clear in a weblog submit revealed after the reveal that it “needed to discover what it may imply to have a brand new hero sporting a Ghost masks, and uncovering a brand new legend.” The setting, in keeping with the weblog submit, is the yr 1603, in “the lands surrounding Mount Yōtei” within the area of Japan that immediately is called Hokkaido. That’s all we actually know in regards to the story and world of this sequel.
Trying on the new 4K trailer posted by Sony, it actually appears like Ghost of Yōtei was designed not solely to showcase the facility of the PS5, but additionally to indicate off the newly introduced $700 PS5 Professional. It’s stunning to me that Sony didn’t embrace this sport within the PS5 Professional announcement, at the same time as a tiny teaser, to indicate off one thing completely new and wonderful wanting, working on the dear console.
In keeping with Sucker Punch, that is the primary sport they’ve constructed from “the bottom up” for PS5. And I anticipate Ghost of Yōtei will take full benefit of the PS5 Professional. Right here’s what Sucker Punch needed to say about engaged on the PS5.
That is additionally Sucker Punch’s first sport constructed from the bottom up for PlayStation 5, and we’re excited to construct on the visible basis we established in Ghost of Tsushima by making the world really feel much more actual. We’ve large sightlines that allow you to look far throughout the setting, complete new skies that includes twinkling stars and auroras, much more plausible motion from wind on grass and vegetation, and extra enhancements we’ll share sooner or later. Our new setting additionally provides us the chance to introduce new mechanics, gameplay enhancements, and even new weapons.
