PlayStation updated the Ghost of Yotei website with new characters, weapons, and PS5 features. Players finally have a clear look at what to expect at launch.

The Yotei Six were revealed, giving players their first look at Atsu’s targets. Five melee weapons and three ranged weapons provide a diverse combat system.

PlayStation also confirmed special edition PS5 consoles for Ghost of Yotei. These consoles will feature themed DualSense controllers and exclusive covers. However, the Ghost of Yotei console plates will only be available for PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro models, which disappointed some fans.

Sucker Punch is working hard to deliver a rich open-world experience. Some Ghost of Tsushima fans found its world a bit repetitive. Creative director Nate Fox assured that Ghost of Yotei will avoid those pitfalls. Players can expect features like a clue card system to track branching storylines. New mini-games and customizable play styles will also enhance gameplay. Special modes paying tribute to Japanese filmmakers further add to the game’s cultural depth.
