Ghost of Yotei Gameplay Reveal Scheduled for Tomorrow

As promised—or maybe not, who knows with these big companies—Sony’s back, and they’ve finally given us the scoop on when we can next feast our eyes on Ghost of Yotei. It feels like forever since they last teased it, probably because I have no concept of time during summer anyway.

So yeah, there was this trailer a bit over a month ago. Just enough to rile up the fans, right? They hinted we’d see more in July. Now we’re already knee-deep into July, and apparently, the wait’s almost over. Thank goodness because patience isn’t exactly my forte.

Anyway, there’s this livestream—a State of Play thing—for Ghost of Yotei this Thursday, July 10. No idea if Thursday’s a good day for game reveals, but whatever, right? It’s set to run for like 20 minutes. That’s enough time to burn my popcorn, probably. But hey, we’re meant to see all sorts of cool stuff about the game’s systems and mechanics. Honestly, I’m hoping it doesn’t get too technical—my brain taps out at overly detailed game lingo.

It’s gonna be hosted by Sucker Punch’s Jason Connell and Nate Fox—the creative minds behind the game. They’ll dive into the sequel’s story, Atsu’s journey, and her new gear. Tools of destruction, anyone? There’s also talk about snazzy new ways to tweak your adventure. I’m all for personalization—though I often end up with mismatched outfits in these games because I just click buttons randomly.

And then there’s the promise (well, more like a hint) of new game modes. Maybe an upgrade to the Legends co-op mode? Or something quirky like the original’s Kurosawa mode? It added this old-school samurai film vibe. Novel, sure, but it made me feel like I was watching a classic movie, eating popcorn and all.

This showcase is chock-full of stuff, it seems. They’re streaming it live—2pm PT, 5pm ET, 10pm BST, and a late-night 11pm CEST giggle for the night owls. Catch it on PlayStation’s Twitch and YouTube, if you’re in the mood.

And oh yeah, circle October 2 on your calendar. That’s when Ghost of Yotei hits PS5. Can’t wait, honestly. Let’s see if this game’s as epic as they’re making it out to be.
