PlayStation is hosting a 20-minute State of Play event on July 10, 2025, at 2 pm PT, to showcase gameplay details of Ghost of Yotei, a highly anticipated sequel to Ghost of Tsushima.

The event will feature discussions from Sucker Punch's creative directors, Nate Fox and Jason Connell, highlighting new weapons, customization options, special modes, and cinematic finishing moves.

This focused showcase will be accessible via YouTube and Twitch, with additional coverage through Push Square's livestream and live blog, aiming to generate excitement ahead of the game's October 2, 2025, release.

Ghost of Yotei promises more freedom and deeper gameplay systems than its predecessor, including the ability to set up camps, explore freely, and survive in hostile environments.

The game will introduce dynamic weather effects to enhance immersion, building on the success of Ghost of Tsushima.

Set in 1603 near Mount Yōtei in Hokkaido, Japan, the game features a new protagonist, Atsu, a mercenary seeking revenge, and is set over 300 years after the original.

Ghost of Yotei is a spiritual sequel, offering a larger, more complex open world with diverse environments and vertical design, emphasizing a mature-rated experience with violence and blood.

The event aims to excite fans with new gameplay modes, visual fidelity, and innovations on PS5 and PS5 Pro, setting the tone for the last quarter of PlayStation's 2025 release schedule.

Sony has shifted away from large showcase events, favoring smaller, focused livestreams like this one to reveal major titles and deepen fan engagement.

The upcoming release is a key part of Sony’s holiday lineup, with other titles like Pragmata delayed to 2026 and new announcements expected for the end of 2025.

The short, focused nature of the showcase underscores Sony’s confidence in Ghost of Yotei as a major PS5 title, with less than 100 days until its launch.

More detailed gameplay features, including new weapons such as spears, bows, rifles, and unique modes, will be revealed during the livestream, highlighting the game's expanded open-world experience.
