- Ghost of Yotei’s recent announcement has created plenty of buzz worldwide.

PlayStation recently announced Ghost of Yotei, highlighting a fresh take on one of its biggest modern franchises. Featuring a female protagonist and a setting several hundred years in the future, this entry promises to be a much grander experience.
With the title set to arrive in 2025, PlayStation has given players just over a year to prepare for this release. It seems fans are keen on making the best of this time, with many now returning to Ghost of Tsushima in preparation for the next release.
Why it matters: Sucker Punch Productions’ last game was released four years ago. Despite its age, fans remain keen on the franchise, setting up the next entry for major success on release.
According to TrueTrophies’ latest report, Ghost of Yotei’s reveal directly influenced player counts for its predecessors.
The report points to more than a 50% boost to figures across both the PS4 and PS5 versions of the game, highlighting much higher interest in the franchise than before.
It is also important to note that this figure was taken from a sample size of over 3.1 million PlayStation accounts. As such, it highlights that Sucker Punch Productions’ upcoming AAA experience has already created plenty of buzz.
Previously, announcements like Gears of War E-Day drove similar excitement for past games, leading to record-high player counts. Therefore, Ghost of Tsushima has become the latest example of this phenomenon.
The series also arrived on PC earlier this year and saw impressive figures for a single-player PlayStation title on the platform. As such, this is the second time this IP is going through a major resurgence this year.
Ghost of Yotei’s announcement has made 2025 an even more exciting year than it initially seemed.
Sucker Punch Productions has confirmed that this sequel will address various weaknesses from the first game, including the open world. The team promises a less repetitive open world, giving fans more than a few reasons to be excited.
