We just got a peek at something pretty wild. Sucker Punch dropped a gameplay deep dive for Ghost of Yōtei, and oh man, they unveiled this PS5 Limited Edition Bundle. It’s got this crazy detailed console and a matching controller. Honestly, it almost distracted me from playing the game itself—if it looks that good in your living room, you’d probably just end up staring at it.
So, it’s all about Sucker Punch’s made-up version of Ezo—now Hokkaido, for us geography buffs. And the game’s journey through Atsu’s story of revenge? Yeah, they threw that into the design too. Mt. Yōtei, which is both iconic and a bit intimidating, is a major goto when you think of Hokkaido. But here, it’s got this artsy twist reflecting two Japanese visual styles that are, simply put, beautiful.
Oh, and there’s a surprise perk! The consoles have some maker’s seal engraved right on the back, complete with PlayStation symbols. Kind of a neat little Easter egg for those in the know, right? It’s like a badge of honor just for owning it.
But, wait—backtrack with me for a sec. There’s this Gold Limited Edition too. It screams elegance by borrowing from kintsugi—the Japanese art of fixing broken pottery with—you guessed it—gold. This bundle captures that vibe, emphasizing beauty in imperfection. It’s kind of poetic if you ask me and parallels Atsu’s story of bouncing back from all the chaos she faces.
Then there’s this awesome silhouette of Atsu they’ve splashed on the DualSense wireless controller. Collaborating with Sony’s design team really paid off here. According to Sucker Punch, the direction came from a core game element: exploration. Wild, right? It’s like everything’s connected. The icons Atsu sketches on her maps, the Ghost mask’s kintsugi style, even the Sumi-e-like brushstrokes—they nailed it all.
For those who already rock a PS5 (like the slimmer or Pro versions), more good news! You can grab console covers with the same kintsugi designs. These are in limited supply, so you might want to keep an eye out before they disappear in a flash. The standalone DualSense Controller—ghost vibe and all—is also up for grabs.
The whole thing is totally inspired by the game’s roots. You can almost feel the influence when you see these designs, and I’m itching to dive in when Ghost of Yōtei hits on October 2. It feels like you’re following the wind just like in the game, sifting through Atsu’s journey.
Limited quantities and all. Mark October 2nd on your calendar and get those clicking fingers ready for preorder info later. I mean, who doesn’t want a piece of this?
