. 20-minute presentation of the gameThe host of the imaginative directors of Jason Connell and Nate Fox, they came today to facilitate to present, in the way, the ATS journey will be both known and fresh for players who liked Ghost of Tsushima 2020. In any case, as you cut it out, the spirit of the game Yōtei is the closest look at one of the biggest playstation 5 games in this year, which we saw still.
For those who missed the game, Ign devoted time to gather all the most critical for you here. You can check everything revealed during the presentation below, waiting for subsequent updates before the spirit of Yōtei on October 2, 2025, date of release.
EZO monuments and sounds
The spirit of Yōtei focuses on the ats when he looks for revenge on Yōtei Six at all costs. This is a bloody journey that led the enemies of the ats to be afraid of her, and many are worried that he is the legendary spirit of Onyro. Ghost of Yōtei drives his journey of revenge in a completely fresh way, allowing players to return to the younger years of the hero by a basic pressing of the button.
Traveling around EZO means meeting with a significantly different earth than the war -torn island of Tsushima. Beautiful in itself, Ghost of Yōtei of the fresh map encourages players to experience ATS’s travel, as they like, and Sucker Punch has gone to the statement that the adventure “focuses on the player’s freedom more than any game” he has ever created. One example of this newly discovered player Freedom can be found in the system of tips that the player can lead in fresh directions. While some information obtained during the interrogation can see ATS by traveling to Snowy Mountaintops, who hide hidden attackers, another can take her to a village devastated by fire and a samurai army.
Sucker Punch wants players to focus on fighting, exploration, history or anything that satisfies their mission. However, one recommended way to see everything that Ezo has to offer simply includes the utilize of Spyglass and walking towards everything that catches the eye.
Discovering 1603 Japan means finding friends of interests, such as fresh Bamboo strike challenges and even more heated sources to relax, but players can also expect arduous fights as a prize hunter. There are also altars of reflections that unlock fresh ATS skills, which will undoubtedly facilitate her on her journey.
The combat spirit of Yōtei will receive an update
With a high price on the head of ATS, players will have to utilize the arsenal of fresh tools and weapons. Although it seems that fans will have many possibilities of standard sword meetings, some fresh blades will facilitate to diversify. The most critical information includes weapons, such as katana and spear, as well as the more uncontrolled Kusarigama chain blade, long bullshit and even double swords. Each of them offers special advantages in the battle depending on the circumstances, and all weapons also contain improvements to utilize.
Meanwhile, in the fight against distance, he will see ATS primarily with two tools: arc and pistol. The spirit of the game Yōtei showed how the latter can be used to quickly remove the distant enemy at the expense of hiding. In other words, ATSU has several tools than Ghost of Tsushima Jin, and there are no objections when it comes to using them to pull out Yōtei Six.
Between combat meetings and brushes with death players can allow ATS to rest under the stars. Here you can cook food, play music, and even meet with allies, taking all the sky. Thanks to these changes, there is also a replacement for a standard diary known as Wolf Pack Ats. Sucker Punch calls the menu system “More based on the characters of managing allies and suppliers” of the meeting during the ATS travel. This is a basic way to see who can have something to offer, and is wrapped in art for every face you will meet.
Where Ghost of Tsushima approached his relationship with nature in one way, the spirit of Yōtei seems to depend on the connection with the world around them. One of the way he does it takes on a fresh companion of the wolf, who, as shown in the game, can tear the throat of the enemy during the fight. Meanwhile, traveling through a flower field can boost the character while driving on a horse. Sucker Punch also showed the first look at what seems to be a dense system of adjusting ATS armor, as well as the ability to disarm enemies with sufficient attacks.
Kurosawa mode returns with fresh addictive options
Kurosawa mode, black and white omage for the director legends Akira Kurosaw, returns after fans fell in love with Ghost of Tsushima. This is a sign not only that Sucker Punch is satisfied with the answer he received for the first time, but the band remains under the influence of some outstanding artists from this genre.
This impact can also be felt in two additional modes: Miike mode and Watanabe mode. As some fans of the film could guess, the former takes 13 directors of Takashi Miike killers, carrying the camera closer to blood and more mud. Meanwhile, the latter brings the work of the director Anime Samurai Champloo Shinichirō Watanabe, containing the original L-Fi shock moments of exploration and fight.
Other attractions from the spirit of Ghost of Yōtei State of Play are the first look at photographic mode, as well as the options of standard English sound, written English sound and samurai cinema, in which a full voice worked Japanese dialogue with English inscriptions.
Ghost of Yōtei begins on October 2, 2025 on PS5. As a surprise at the last minute Sucker Punch promised that the special edition of the Yōtei PS5 consoles and unique DualSense controllers would also be available during the premiere.
