Ghost of Tsushima’s sequel, Ghost of Yotei, will come out on October 2. Those who preordered the game can expect to pre-load the game as early as September 25. The game will take up about 85 GB of storage on the PS5. The game is currently a PS5 exclusive.

Ghost of Tsushima, the popular 2020 action game developed by Sucker Punch, was approximately 50 GB  at launch. The sequel, according to Sucker Punch, will have a more detailed open world, better combat, and enhanced graphics.

More about Ghost of Yotei

The game was revealed in September 2024 during Sony’s annual PlayStation State of Play.  The game is set 300 years after the events of the first game. The new protagonist, Atsu, is on a journey to avenge her murdered family members.

Fans of the first game anticipated Ghost of Yotei since its reveal last year, and Sucker Punch has reportedly been open about their plans for the game. The game has minigames, both new and from the previous game. The game also has a Clue Card system, which helps players branch out their experience in the game.

Ghost of Tsushima

Ghost of Tsushima came out in 2020 for the PS5 and PS4. The game was well-received by reviewers and fans alike. A director’s cut was released for PS5 in 2021, and the game was released for PC in 2024.

The game is about Jin Sakai, a samurai who fights Mongols in the island of Tsushima. He must decide whether to fight honorably or use other means to fight the Mongols. The developers took great care in making sure the game was as historically accurate as possible. They also paid tribute to film director Akira Kurosawa through the game’s cinematic cutscenes.

Ghost of Yotei is similar to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Nioh, Aragami, and Tenchu when it comes to difficulty. The game was one of gaming’s saving graces during the COVID-19 pandemic, due to how many games were released in a rushed state or delayed altogether.

Final Thoughts

The game is expected to be a great addition to the franchise. The game isn’t as large in size compared to Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, which is about 200 GB. Players can expect an exciting and fast-paced time with this game at launch. Hopefully, Ghost of Yotei lives up to players’ expectations.
