Yōtei’s Ghost, a predecessor spirit game that has been on the waiting list for years, recently acquired a release date: October 2, 2025, for a PS5 exclusive. This was due to an official announcement made via a tweet that almost sent the fans berserk. There were no mentions of gameplay, no deep dives, just simply the date and a little slick bit of key art that accompanied it. But sometimes, well, you know. Less is more!
The tweet was all about facts, a straight and to-the-point announcement that had no fluffing or extra details. Quite frankly, this is all we needed. Almost instantaneously, #GhostOfYotei began to trend, proving that the excitement for this particular game was truly on! The image that accompanied the announcement? A moody, atmospheric shot that shouts feudal Japan with the supernatural flavor. Ghost of Tsushima, but probably… ghostier?
The strangest thing is that, this tweet received absolutely no replies. None. Zip. Zilch. Normally a story like this would attract comments” on big announcements with memes and the occasional backlash like: “wHy NoT xBoX??”, booting disagreements. But in this case? Nothing. Perhaps all those people were busy screaming in pillows instead of typing. Or it might actually be drowned by the algorithm-and that just feels eerie (which is apt for a game called Ghost of Yōtei, huh?).
Okay, so what do we know about the game? Honestly, not much. The title sounds like a spiritual heir, if not a thematic cousin, to Ghost of Tsushima. The Yōtei part is rather interesting, though. In Japanese, Yōtei can either mean “that which is scheduled” or “a plan.” However, in this context, it might refer to a proper noun-a place or a character-or it really might just end up being some really cool-sounding word. Who really knows?
Pretty weird unsolicited tweets, but hype remains very much in vogue. October 2025 really feels far away, but hey, at least we have that date to circle in our calendars. Expect more teases, trailers, and hopefully some jaw-dropping gameplay footage to tie us over till then.
And if you are one of those who haven’t played Ghost of Tsushima yet, what on earth are you doing? Fix that right now.
Mark this date down in your calendars, set up some reminders, and pray to the gods that your PS5 doesn’t combust before then! Ghost of Yōtei is coming, whether we are ready or not.
