To close out Sony’s State of Play presentation, Sucker Punch gave a first look at the next game in its award-winning Ghosts series. Dubbed Spirit of YoteiPlayers will inhabit a new female protagonist named Atsu, who wields a shamisen in addition to the traditional samurai sword. According to the trailer’s description, Atsu will travel through the wilderness surrounding Mount Yotei accompanied by a mysterious wolf.

Sucker Punch Studios, the developers behind the Sly Cooper And Infamous series, released Ghosts of Tsushima back in 2020. The game was praised for its quiet, contemplative moments and for its Akira Kurosawa-style samurai action. Earlier this year, Sucker Punch released a PC port of Tsushima and confirmed that a movie based on the game is in the works, with John Wick Director Chad Stahelski was attached to helm the project.

In the blog post announcing the game, Sony stated that Spirit of Yotei was Sucker Punch’s first game built specifically for the PS5. According to the developers, Spirit of Yotei offers the same beautiful observational moments as its predecessor, but also adds new features.

“We have huge sightlines that let you see far across the environment, completely new skies with twinkling stars and aurora borealis, even more believable movement of wind on grass and vegetation,” said Andrew Goldfarb, communications manager at Sucker Punch. “Our new setting also gives us the opportunity to introduce new mechanics, gameplay improvements, and even new weapons.”

Sony hasn’t released any details on a release date, only stating that the game will be released in 2025.
