Playstation held one of their State of Plays yesterday to reveal a suite of upcoming games. I wasn’t too interested in most of them, but we got our first look at the upcoming sequel to the truly amazing Ghosts of Tsushima. It’s going to be Ghosts of Yōtei, a new story with a new protagonist with the same beauty and power.

Looks awesome! I loved Ghosts of Tsushima, like everybody else, and this sequel looks awesome. I love the idea of moving ahead in time to a new character and story. That works perfectly fine for me. The new protagonist is named Atsu and she’s got a sweet guitar on her back; I wonder what that’s about. Atsu is going to be voiced by Erika Ishii, of whom I’m a huge fan thanks to her work on Dropout! So awesome!

Ghosts of Yōtei is going to come out next year, which means 2025 is going to be an insanely huge year for video games! I spent 2024 trying not to spend too much money on new games, and have mostly succeeded. But it seems I’m going to be shelling out so much money next year for new games!
