Sony kicked off today with a release date for Ghost of Yotei. The follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima will launch worldwide on October 2, 2025. Pre-orders will also open at stores like Amazon and the PlayStation Store on May 2, 2025. The company also shared a new trailer and details about the standard, Digital Deluxe, and Collector’s Editions of Ghost of Yotei.

First, here’s the latest Ghosts of Yotei trailer that appeared alongside the worldwide release date. It featured a better look at Atsu’s journey. After the Yotei Six murdered her family, she dedicated her life to getting revenge. As this is an open-ended adventure through Ezo, we’ll get to choose the order in which she hunts down her enemies.

The last trailer featuring it showed up during December 2024.

As for the editions, anyone who pre-orders Ghost of Yotei will get an avatar set to use with their PlayStation Network profile and make them look like Atsu or the Yotei six . They also get an additional mask option for Atsu. Here’s how that looks.

Finally, here’s an overview of all three editions of Ghost of Yotei that discuss the contents of the standard, Digital Deluxe, and Collector’s Edition. Sony didn’t share the limited edition’s price yet.

• Standard Edition that only includes the game - $69.99.
• Digital Deluxe Edition that includes the game, Snake Armor, an Armor Dye, a Horse and Saddle, a Sword Kit, a Charm, and early unlock for Traveler’s Maps - $79.99
• Collector’s Edition that includes the game, all of the add-ons in the Digital Deluxe edition, real-world replicas of Atsu’s Ghost Mask, sash, and tsuba, a set of art cards, the Zeni Hajiki coin game with pouch to hold it, and a papercraft ginkgo tree.

Sony shared images of all of those editions as well, so even if there’s a situation where the DLC doesn’t have a listed name yet, we know how they’ll look.

Ghost of Yotei will come to the PlayStation 5, the official worldwide release date is now October 2, 2025.

Tokyo Game Show 2024 is one of the most exciting times for any player, especially those who love Japanese titles. There have been a ton of announcements during TGS, including for every platform from Switch to PlayStation to even Xbox. Here are the best TGS 2024 announcements that have impressed us the most and everyone should know about.

All the Best TGS 2024 Announcements: Ghost of Yotei 3c3o15

The standout announcement happened just before the start of Tokyo Game Show 2024. During the latest PlayStation State of Play, the grand finale announcement was a Ghost of Tsushima sequel known as Ghost of Yotei. The new location, set in northern Japan, and female protagonist are all thrilling.

Better yet, the open-world sequel looks to continue the stunning, colorful aesthetic of the original, but with the power of PS5 and PS5 Pro. And if that isn’t enough, the game is coming out sooner than you might expect. Ghost of Yotei releases next year sometime in 2025.

Holy Horror Mansion 2g36f

Level-5 hosted its own event in celebration of Tokyo Game Show 2024. The event included new details on previously announced games like Professor Layton and the New World of Steam, DecaPolice, and Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time. But the real surprise was Holy Horror Mansion, which appears to be the next evolution of the Yokai Watch series.

The same colorful style from Yokai Watch returns alongside a slightly spookier style. That said, Holy Horror Mansion looks to still be an all-ages RPG, but the story seems to have a significant focus. We will find out more info about this RPG in Spring 2025.

Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster on Xbox k2x59

Even Xbox fans had something to look forward to during TGS 2024 with one of the best announcements happening during the Xbox presentation. There were quite a few notable announcements here, including a new trailer for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and both Starcraft games coming to Game . However, our favorite has to be the arrival of all six Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster games immediately on Xbox alongside other missing Square Enix titles.

FFXIV Dawntrail Patch 7.1 Details 5f5u5h

Still no exact release date just yet for the first major post-launch patch for FFXIV Dawntrail, but we now know 7.1 is coming sometime mid-November 2024 courtesy of the TGS 2024 Letter from the Producer 83. In addition, we now know it will be called “Crossroads” and include a bunch of new content for players to enjoy like the first Final Fantasy XI Alliance Raid, a new dungeon to complete, Pelupelu Allied Society quests, and so much more.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Release Window 245n21

One of the more surprising announcements is Hideo Kojima’s reveal during TGS 2024 that Death Stranding 2 is only about 30-40% complete. Despite this alarming fact, the game is still scheduled to come out in 2025. The sequel will also feature a brand new photo mode that will allow players to dance and pose various characters throughout the world for pictures.

Tokyo Game Show 2024 runs from September 26-29, 2024.

I have a general lack of interest and excitement for Sony's regular State of Play series of showcases going over PlayStation, in particular PS5 and PSVR 2, game announcements. They often pale in comparison to other similar presentations from competitors and, of course, the company's own signature event showcases. However, the recent Tokyo Game Show (TGS 2024) State of Play is the exception, as I believe it is the best one yet.

The core of what makes this TGS 2024 State of Play the best one so far is two-fold. The first is that Sony offered a little bit of something for almost everyone. It felt like a mini-PlayStation Showcase. The State of Play kicked off with a solid intro, revealing free DLC coming to Astro Bot. This is a smooth way to remind players of one of the recent Game of the Year contenders and show some love to those who already beat it.

From there, the State of Play had the right mix of brand new announcements and updates for existing games. New information about and gameplay details for games like Dragon Age: The Veilguard and PS5 version of Palworld were welcome announcements. Then there are reveals of intriguing games like Hell Is Us, the stunning The Midnight Walk, and surprisingly fascinating ArcheAge Chronicles.

If that isn’t enough, we got release dates for titles like Fantasian Neo Dimension, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, and Dynasty Warriors: Origins. If you are a PSVR 2 owner, this State of Play even justified owning the VR headset a bit more. There were significant and welcome announcements of games like Metro Awakening and Hitman: World of Assassination too.

That is all before including the two showstopper headliners. Monster Hunter Wilds looked fantastic yet again in its latest trailer. Fortunately, this State of Play revealed the release date, which is quite soon. But above all else, there is Ghost of Yotei. The final announcement came out of nowhere and was a shocking surprise. Ghost of Tsushima still remains the most stunning game I’ve ever played, and Ghost of Yotei looks to follow up on its predecessor.

No matter what, there was something for everyone in this TGS 2024 State of Play. If you like JRPGs, there’s that. If you like VR, there were some solid options. And if you are looking forward to biggest blockbuster third and first-party hits, that was also here. Sure, not every game appeals to everyone. In fact, only really two new game announcements were for me personally: Ghost of Yotei and Lunar Remastered Collection.

However, the spectacle of the presentation and general lineup all worked so well. Even the games I didn’t care too much about stood out with well-executed trailers. This State of Play is the first of its kind to remind me of the good old days of attending Sony Press Conferences at E3. Plus, it helps that this State of Play was far more interesting and better balanced than any to date.

That said, the competition wasn’t that impressive. The best State of Play before this one, in my opinion, was held in May 2019. It had the right mix of new announcements and re-reveals. The headliners were games like Final Fantasy VII Remake, MediEvil, and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. Again, all staples that appealed to everyone. Even that particular State of Play wasn’t that substantial or long. And to make matters worse, most of the State of Plays since then have been significantly worse.

Fortunately, this most recent TGS 2024 State of Play changed all that. It feels like a mini-PlayStation Showcase with something for just about everyone. I just hope Sony is able to keep up this level of quality and announcements with the next one.

Tokyo Game Show 2024 is running from September 26-29, 2024. The TGS 2024 State of Play aired on September 24, 2024.
