- Ghost of Yotei was announced to mixed reactions from the fans as many didn’t like the absence of Jin Sakai.
- A rumor states that Sony executives aren’t happy with the game’s initial impressions.
- The executives also seemed to be expecting a sequel featuring Jin Sakai and were blindsided by the reveal.
Ghost of Yotei was recently announced by Sony during the State of Play. The live show was really underwhelming, so this reveal at the end really made the fandom excited. However, due to it being the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima many fans were expecting Jin Sakai to return.
Due to that, Atsu, the new lead, received backlash from the fandom, and the impressions of the game weren’t really that positive. Now a new rumor states that internally Sony executives aren’t happy with the early impressions.
Why it matters: Ghost of Tsushima is one of the most beloved PlayStation exclusive so no one expected its sequel to go through such controversy.
This rumor comes from Endymion, who got this information from an alleged insider. The YouTuber seems to have a lot of influence on the platform, and he reveals Ghost of Yotei blindsided many people at Sony, especially those who weren’t aware of what Sucker Punch is working on.
they are not happy at all when it comes to the response of that game either, internally at Sony right now.

The other executives at Sony were expecting that Jin Sakai would be getting a sequel, and they were blindsided by Atsu as the new lead. Fans did appreciate the new setting, but there were a lot who wanted to see Jin Sakai return as the main lead due to his role in Ghost of Tsushima.
There is a lot of criticism regarding the female lead, Atsu, too, as fans are claiming that this series has gone ‘Woke’ too. While this might not be the case, fans are concerned because the voice actor behind Atsu has initiated some controversies.
So, it is fair to say the initial impressions of the game weren’t close to what it should have been given the influence of Ghost of Tsushima, which would make sense as to why Sony executives aren’t happy.
However, we would recommend taking this news with a grain of salt, as Sony has yet to comment on the situation.
