If you played Ghost of Tsushima and found the game’s world big, you had better get ready, as the sequel,Ghost of Yotei, will even be bigger, which is no small claim to make.
This was confirmed by Sucker Punch Productions' Creative Director Nate Fox and Art Director Jason Cornell in a recent interview with Japanese gaming site Famitsu.
Sucker Punch Claims Ghost of Yotei Is More Than Just A Ghost of Tsushima Sequel
Ghost of Yotei is the next game to come after the critically acclaimed Ghost of Tsushima, and it will be more than a sequel according to Sucker Punch.
Ghost of Yotei Designed For Players to Find Vilains On Their Own
Speaking toFamitsu(machine translated), Cornell confirmed that Ghost of Yotei’s map will be the bigest the studio has crafted. Aside from Ghost of Tsushima, Sucker Punch has also developed open-world games inFamous and inFamous 2.
Cornell shared, “In terms of open-world adventures, we have the most freedom and expansive maps we’ve ever made in an open-world game. The player is free to travel and challenge the Yotei Six. Rather than dictating it from the game side, the game is designed so that the player can find the location of the Yotei Six on their own and take on the challenge of avenging them.”
If you’ve played Tsushma, you’ll know that its game world was already expansive enough that it’s easy to get lost – especially if you’re looking for the game’s multitude of secrets.

Another good things has been ruined for everyone.
While we reported last month that Ghost of Yoteiwill finally let players dual wield, there are more changes coming to weapons and combat.
In the same interview, Sucker Punch confirmed that players will be able to use weapons dropped by enemies to use against them. Given Atus, unlike Jin, is not a samurai, there is no code of honor of sorts that our protagonist has to follow.
“This time, there are not only melee weapons, but also bows and weapons that attack by throwing. Also, Atsushi is not a so-called samurai or samurai, so he does not value the honor of a samurai. Therefore, they will use whatever is available on the spot to fight. Atsushi, for example, can throw the weapon dropped by the enemy at other enemies after defeating them,” Fox noted.
This is great to hear and hopefully, leads to more variety in terms of engagement.
Ghost of Yotei rides out on October 2 exclusively on the PS5.
