A New Ghost Rises in Feudal Japan

Set 300 years after Ghost of Tsushima, this standalone tale follows Atsu, a haunted mercenary in 17th-century northern Japan. Driven by vengeance, he embarks on a journey across the wilds of Ezo to hunt down six deadly outlaws responsible for his family’s murder years ago. But what begins as revenge soon evolves into something deeper.

Throughout the game, Atsu forms unexpected alliances, builds meaningful bonds, and begins a journey of healing and redemption. DualSense features like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers bring sword strikes, archery, and grappling to life in your hands.
