This time it’s set in a new region in northern Japan, in what is now Hokkaido. The sequel is also set around 300 years later and accordingly introduces a new main character, the Ronin Atsu.
The developers have not yet revealed what the story of Ghost of Yotei is about in their trailer. In terms of gameplay, they want to be based on the predecessor, but still introduce numerous improvements and innovations. The fact that the title is being developed exclusively for the more powerful PS5, while Ghost of Tsushima was still running on the PS4, should also help.
