Overview

• Sucker Punch has completed multiple research trips to Hokkaido, Japan, to capture the region's landscapes, ethos, and cultural significance for 'Ghost of Yotei.'
• The team worked closely with cultural advisors, including Ainu representatives, to address gaps in their understanding of Japanese culture and ensure respectful representation.
• 'Ghost of Yotei' is set around Mount Yotei in Hokkaido, centuries after the events of 'Ghost of Tsushima,' and features a revenge-driven narrative centered on a warrior named Atsu.
• Developers drew inspiration from firsthand experiences, such as local interactions and exploring Hokkaido's natural beauty, to authentically recreate the setting and its atmosphere.
• The game is slated for a late 2025 release, with Sucker Punch emphasizing its commitment to cultural sensitivity and authenticity, building on the success of 'Ghost of Tsushima.'
