As I was daydreaming—probably about lunch, not gonna lie—Sony decided to drop some news. So, last we heard about Ghost of Yotei, it was smack dab in the summer chaos. You know, trailers flying around like mosquitoes at a barbecue. We got this teaser of an action RPG, but they said more would come in July. And yeah, now it’s July and guess what? It’s really happening.
Alright, here’s what they say: this Thursday, July 10 (which feels like forever from now), there’s a State of Play all focused on Ghost of Yotei. Expect a decent 20 minutes or so, a buffet of gaming goodness if you’re into that sort of thing.
Jason Connell and Nate Fox, the creative minds behind the game (probably drinking copious amounts of coffee, I bet), are hosting it. They’ll be chatting about Atsu’s quest and her shiny new weapons. Also, some cryptic hints about customizing your journey. What does that even mean? Personalized kazoo soundtrack? (Okay, probably not.)
And then there are these whispers—like gossipy winds—about new modes. Maybe a nod to Legends co-op from the OG game, Ghost of Tsushima. Or even a Kurosawa-style vibe, making your screen look all Samurai cinema. I can’t help but think it’ll be a mix of all these things, a digital stew if you will.
Anyway—so the whole shebang starts streaming live at random times (2pm PT, 5pm ET, 10pm BST, 11pm CEST, take your pick depending on your timezone confusion) on PlayStation’s Twitch and YouTube. It’s all laid out like a mini-party, minus the cake and awkward small talk.
And mark your calendars or scribble on your hand with a sharpie: October 2 is when Ghost of Yotei drops on PS5. Time to start saving those pennies—or at least thinking about it while distractedly scrolling through memes.
