Sucker Punch has confirmed that Ghost of Yotei will feature a similar length to Ghost of Tsushima, promising players another substantial samurai adventure. The upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive maintains the series’ commitment to meaningful content depth.
Ghost of Yotei Campaign Length Details
According to Sucker Punch developers in a recent VideoGamesChronicle interview, Ghost of Yotei matches its predecessor’s scope. Ghost of Tsushima offered approximately 25 hours for the main story, expanding to 46 hours with side content, and up to 62 hours for completionist players.
The developers emphasize that length isn’t just about hours but content variety and player engagement throughout the Hokkaido-set adventure.
Enhanced Freedom and Exploration
Co-director Jason Connell revealed that Ghost of Yotei represents an “evolutionary step” in player freedom. The Hokkaido setting provides opportunities for more varied exploration mechanics and objective discovery methods.
| Content Type | Ghost of Tsushima | Ghost of Yotei |
|---|---|---|
| Main Story | ~25 hours | Similar length |
| With Side Content | ~46 hours | Expected similar |
| Completionist | ~62 hours | TBA |
| Setting | Tsushima Island | Hokkaido |
What Makes Ghost of Yotei Different?
Director Nate Fox highlighted the magical moment when players spot something interesting while exploring on horseback. The wind guidance system returns, but players retain complete freedom to pursue their curiosity over story objectives.
The Hokkaido setting allows Sucker Punch to expand their open-world design philosophy, offering new ways for players to uncover interesting discoveries organically.
Multiplayer Mode Uncertainty
It remains unclear whether Ghost of Yotei will include a multiplayer component similar to Ghost of Tsushima: Legends. The original game’s co-op mode launched several months after the base game, suggesting any multiplayer announcement may come later.
Release Information and Platforms
Ghost of Yotei launches October 2nd exclusively for PlayStation 5. Following Sony’s recent policy, a PC release is highly likely but may take 12+ months after the console launch.
The game promises to deliver the same high-quality samurai experience that made Ghost of Tsushima a critical and commercial success.
