# Ghost of Yōtei Announced [Ghost of Yōtei - Announce Trailer](https://youtube.com/watch?v=7z7kqwuf0a8) <div class=iframe-container> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/7z7kqwuf0a8?si=BQA2PI0g_NhVzNNd" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div> > In 1603, Atsu sets out on a journey in the lands surrounding Mount Yōtei, an area filled with sprawling grasslands, snowy tundras, and unexpected dangers.[^1] What can I say? Samurai are cool. It was and is no surprise that Sucker Punch is continuing down the *Ghost* path. They supported the original game substantially with DLC, a surprise free multiplayer mode, and a PS5 Director's Cut. Plus, we have the [movie](https://deadline.com/2021/03/sony-playstation-productions-ghost-of-tsushima-movie-john-wicks-chad-stahelski-directing-1234721342/) out there in the winds of Hollywood. I am quite happy to see them leave Tsushima itself behind. Jin's story felt complete. There is greater potential in a new character and location, I think. The locations, mood, and gameplay teased in the trailer all look good. It even sounds better in [Japanese](https://youtube.com/watch?v=mDTvxaR7dtM).[^2] I am getting big ol' *Sly Cooper* and *[[Blue Eye Samurai]]* energy from this game and I am here for it. My brain jumps to our protagonist being wronged and seeking vengeance against a group of perpetrators. Open-world design may let you approach and take down these figures in any order you see fit. I do hope the game is less repetitive than *Tsushima*. I may have earned the Platinum, but I pet far too many foxes and wrote too many haikus for that. My buddy Logan [agrees](https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/ghost-of-yotei-tsushima-ps5-playstation-changes/). All in all, I am looking forward to seeing more from *Yōtei* next year.
