Ghost of Yotei, the long-awaited sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, looks to continue several of the design principles seen in the original game but developer Sucker Punch wants fans to know why it opted to include a new protagonist. The journey of Jin Sakai proved extremely popular with fans as many identified with his internal struggle to embrace change to defeat his enemy or stick with tradition and honor the samurai. The introduction of Atsu left many enthusiasts confused but Sucker Punch is confident players will warm to the new hero.
Per the official PlayStation blog, Sucker Punch’s Communications Manager Andrew Goldfarb explained that the studio wanted to provide an experience that was “fresh but familiar,” opting to analyze the idea of the “Ghost” rather than the character of Jin. This drive to provide players with a unique experience that stands as a separate entity from Tsushima led Sucker Punch to the idea of telling a story focused on a new character wearing the Ghost mask. Details on Atsu’s saga are still scarce but the developer plans on revealing plenty of additional information in the coming months.
