Summary
- A new rumor suggests Ghost of Yotei may launch in July/August 2025.
- New details remain scarce, as fans continue to eagerly wait for a trailer or details from Sucker Punch.
- Currently, Ghost of Yotei has only confirmed 2025 as its release year, with no other specific details.
A new rumor for Ghost of Yotei indicates that the highly anticipated title is likely going to launch sometime in July 2025. There remains plenty of excitement around the mysterious Ghost of Yotei, which is following closely in the footsteps of Ghost of Tsushima even as fans continue to wait for new details.
Ghost of Yotei was originally announced during a September State of Play, confirming a new protagonist named Atsu, with the game being set 300 years after the events of the previous game. Since then, news has been fairly scarce, with fans waiting for Sucker Punch to reveal a new trailer or an actual 2025 release date. For now, Ghost of Yotei's playStation page has been the only source of new details, confirming Atsu's mission being based on revenge after the death of her family. However, a new rumor teases that players likely won't have to wait too much longer for new details.
Ghost of Yotei Reveals New Story Details
PlayStation unveils a handful of new details surrounding Ghost of Yotei's narrative, weapons, and visual enhancements.
Without much new information to go on, rumors and leaks have attempted largely to fill in the gaps so far. The latest rumor comes from a user named DetectiveSeeds on social media, indicating that two individuals they've spoken to seem to agree that Ghost of Yotei will be launching this summer. One individual, who DetectiveSeeds confirms has missed some previous details, highlights a mid-to-late August release, while another, who has a spotless track record of information, said it will be sometime later in July.
Ghost of Yotei Leaked Release Window
- Late July or August
Naturally, players should take the information with a grain of salt as they continue to wait for official details from Sucker Punch of Sony. Ghost of Yotei has always confirmed 2025 as its release, but has yet to really narrow that down. However, a summer release wouldn't be as random as it seems as Ghost of Tsushima originally launched on the PS4 in July, so there is a precedent that has already been set, even if most AAA titles typically avoid releasing at this time of the year.
Already, 2025 has been a great year for games set in Feudal Japan. While Rise of the Ronin's PC version continues to receive updates, Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Shadows has not stopped breaking player records. In fact, Assassin's Creed Shadows was able to fly past 2 million players less than a week after launch, bypassing the likes of Origins and Odyssey. Either way, there appears to be an appetite for games set in this historical era, which bodes well for Ghost of Yotei.
