Ghost of Yōtei offered plenty of familiar sights in its latest trailer, from the sleek combat to the traversal (with the grappling hook returning). As Atsu, players embark on a mission to slay the Yōtei Six, consisting of The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito.
However, she’ll also encounter “unlikely allies” and “forge connections that help give her a new sense of purpose,” per the PlayStation Blog. It confirms that the scene from the trailer, which sees Atsu visiting the past, is actually a new mechanic.
Other changes include following leads for Yōtei Six and even prioritizing which one to slay first. Atsu can also meet different sensei to unlock new weapon skills, take on bounties, and find “peaceful reprieves,” some returning from Ghost of Tsushima.
On top of all this, you can make a campfire anywhere, not unlike Red Dead Redemption. Will there be other mechanics, like cooking, for Atsu to engage in? Time will tell.
Ghost of Yōtei launches on October 2nd for $69.99 on PS5, with pre-orders starting on May 2nd.
