This is the big one. The event’s gonna run for about 20 minutes, and it’ll be hosted by none other than Jason Connell and Nate Fox, the creative brains behind the game. We’re talking exclusive gameplay breakdowns, behind-the-scenes insight, and a closer look at what makes Ghost of Yotei tick.
If you missed the early reveals, here’s a quick refresher: Ghost of Yotei is set 300 years after the original game, with a brand-new protagonist named Atsu.
She’s out for revenge against a group known as the Yotei Six, and the game takes us through the rugged, northern terrain of what’s now modern-day Hokkaido.
True to form, Sucker Punch did their homework—research trips and all—to respectfully weave in Ainu culture throughout the world.
Until now, most of what we knew came from the trailers: a taste of Atsu’s journey, the general setting, and a vibe that screams “vengeful warrior story with a fresh edge.” But this State of Play is where we finally get the meat of it—stuff like:
- Combat and weapons (yep, spears, bows, rifles, plus returning favs like the katana and kusarigama)
- Slow-mo cinematic finishers
- Customization options
- And maybe even a few special gameplay modes
Some of this info actually leaked a little early thanks to the game’s ESRB rating, which confirmed it’s rocking that Mature label—expect blood, intense combat, strong language, and all the gritty realism you’d want from a samurai revenge tale.
The rating also hinted at those stylish finishers and a solid variety of weapons, so we’re probably getting a gameplay experience that’s both brutal and beautiful.
All signs point to this being the showcase that sets the tone for Ghost of Yotei’s full release. So if you’ve been waiting to see what Atsu’s really capable of, make sure to catch the stream live. We’re finally about to see just how far Ghost of Yotei is pushing the series forward.
