Sony has officially announced the global launch times for Ghost of Yotei, the highly anticipated PlayStation 5 exclusive. While serving as a spiritual successor to Ghost of Tsushima, this new title offers a completely standalone story, set to release on October 2nd.
Players worldwide can expect Ghost of Yotei to become available at midnight local time on October 2nd in their respective countries. For those in the United States, this means an earlier start: West Coast enthusiasts can begin Atsu’s journey as early as 9 PM PT on October 1st, which will be 12 AM ET on October 2nd for East Coast players.
Ghost of Yotei focuses on Atsu, a formidable sellsword driven by vengeance, a stark contrast to Jin’s samurai path in Ghost of Tsushima. This immersive open-world adventure transports players to Feudal Japan, where Atsu embarks on a brutal quest to avenge her family, who were tragically murdered by a ruthless gang of outlaws.
In a unique promotional move, Ghost of Yotei has even inspired a special beer collaboration, with themed packaging that includes an in-game unlockable. Additionally, the developers at Sucker Punch Productions expressed satisfaction with Grand Theft Auto VI’s delay, ensuring their title avoids direct competition with another highly anticipated game this fall.
As one of October’s premier game launches, Ghost of Yotei is set to captivate players. While the main PS5 game arrives this week, eager fans should note that the ‘Legends’ multiplayer mode is slated for release in 2026.
