Yes, Ghost of Yotei is
considered a spiritual sequel to Ghost of
Tsushima, but it does not directly continue Jin Sakai’s story.
Instead, it introduces a new protagonist,
setting, and narrative, making it a standalone experience that both
newcomers and longtime fans can enjoy.
Developed by Sucker Punch Productions, the game will be released exclusively on PlayStation 5 on October 2, 2025.
Ghost of Yotei: Story and Setting
Unlike Ghost of Tsushima, which was set in
1274 during the Mongol invasion of Japan, Ghost of Yotei takes place in 1603 — nearly 300 years later.
Players step into the role of Atsu, a lone mercenary whose family was
murdered by a brutal group known as the Yōtei
Six. Sixteen years after the tragedy, Atsu embarks on a path of
revenge across northern Japan, battling enemies with a mix of sword combat, stealth, and tactical survival.
While Ghost of Yotei doesn’t tie into Jin Sakai’s storyline, it carries forward the core identity of the franchise — breathtaking landscapes, cinematic duels, and intense stealth encounters.

To answer the big question: Ghost of Yotei is not a direct sequel to Ghost of
Tsushima but a standalone
continuation of the series’ legacy. With its fresh protagonist, new
historical setting, and multiple editions, it’s shaping up to be one of the
most anticipated PS5 exclusives of 2025.
Whether you’re a fan of Jin Sakai or a first-time player, Ghost of Yotei offers a narrative-driven samurai adventure filled with revenge, survival, and stunning Japanese landscapes.
