Ghost Of Yotei announced as a samurai sequel to Ghost Of Tsushima

Yoteiking the piss by not confirming a PC version

When you stare into the PlayStation Showcase, it stares also into you. Open world samurai action gameGhost Of Tsushimais getting a follow-up calledGhost Of Yotei, developers Sucker Punch haveannounced(or Ghost Of Yōtei, to include the technically-correct-but-annoying-to-reproduce-on-UK-keyboards diacritic that I will hereby drop to secure our sanity). It looks very picturesque and, like its predecessor, inspired by the Kurosawa showdowns of old. You can see for yourself in the trailer that acted as the finale of Sony’s marketing show.

There’s no strict PC confirmation yet, but considering the previous game eventually came to Steam in the form of the sparkly Director’s Cut edition, we’re guessing this will also make its way to our thundering beastrigs. Not sure if it too will be hobbled by the slightly irritating need to have a PSN account, asthe first game did. We never did get around to reviewing it, but James did report thatit runs quite well on the Steam Deck.

We’re promised more details in the months to come “including details about Atsu’s journey and the people (and animals) she’ll meet along the way.” Putting this parenthetical mention of animals together with the wolf in the above trailer, and I’m guessing our killer has some affinity with wildlife that will come in handy somehow. Atsu herself will be played by voice actor Erika Ishii, aka Valkyrie fromApex Legends, aka Dr Wenjie fromDeathloop, aka the female player character Rook from the upcomingDragon Age: The Veilguard.
