Sucker Punch upcoming title, Ghost of Yōtei. Also, next month, we will get a proper look under the hood with a dedicated gameplay showcase, so mark your calendars.
Sucker Punch promises that this in-depth look will pull back the curtain on "new and evolved gameplay mechanics." Just what does that mean going forward. Well, they teased a much closer look at how we'll explore the world, how we'll engage in combat, and a "lot more." The exact dates in July are under wraps, but developers generally remind everyone to keep their ears to the ground and be on the lookout for further announcements. You can bet we'll be keeping our ears to the ground.

Also accompanying this is a small teaser about Ghost of Yōtei. This brief look into the game features its protagonist, Atsu, and seems to have her dog companion. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what question now echoes in the community Can we pet the dog. Hopefully, this will be answered in the long-awaited showcase in July.
The teaser, "Ghost of Yotei - State of Play Announcement Trailer | PS5 Games," can be found on YouTube, featuring Atsu and her companion.
Ghost of Yōtei is planned to be released for PlayStation 5 later this year, and particularly on October 2. The narrative follows the protagonist, who goes by Atsu, and is on fire with a desire for revenge. She follows the Yōtei Six, a band of legendary outlaws.
As revealed by Sucker Punch earlier, Atsu's path leads her into dark territory for revenge "They killed her family and left her for dead, pinned to a burning ginkgo tree outside her home. But Atsu survived." Then the studio added about her "She learned to fight, to kill, and to hunt, and after years away she has returned to her home with a list of six names The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon and Lord Saito."
It looks set to be a dramatic and thrilling trek in Ghost of Yōtei. With the July gameplay dive, one can definitely expect to get a much clearer picture of the adventure in store.
