Ghost of Yotei Set to Showcase Gameplay: What to Expect

The countdown has begun: Ghost of Yōtei launches exclusively on PlayStation 5 on October 2, 2025, and fans won’t have to wait long for an in-depth look at what’s to come.

On July 10, today, PlayStation will host a State of Play gameplay, offering nearly 20 minutes of fresh gameplay footage and developer commentary, marking the most detailed reveal yet for this highly anticipated title. Below, you will find more information regarding this showcase.

When and Where to Watch the Ghost of Yōtei State of Play

The Ghost of Yōtei State of Play stream is scheduled for:

• July 10 at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET / 10 PM BST / 11 PM CEST.

• Streaming live on PlayStation’s official YouTube and Twitch channels.

This extended gameplay showcase will be led by Sucker Punch Productions’ Creative Directors, Jason Connell and Nate Fox, who will walk viewers through key elements of the game, from story progression to combat mechanics.

What Fans Can Expect from the Gameplay Deep Dive

The upcoming showcase will show a comprehensive look at the game's central protagonist, Atsu, and her journey for revenge set on the remote edge of Japan. According to fans, key highlights of the presentation might include:

• A deeper dive into the narrative and world-building

• New weapons and combat techniques introduced in Atsu’s arsenal

• Expanded stealth mechanics and traversal options

• Customization features allowing players to personalize their journey

• A look at special gameplay modes debuting in Ghost of Yōtei

With nearly 20 uninterrupted minutes of footage teased, fans are hopeful for a smooth gameplay walkthrough, ideally with Sucker Punch narrating over the action rather than cutting between short clips and on-camera developer commentary.

Hype is building for Sucker Punch’s next big adventure

Expectations are high, especially among fans of Ghost of Tsushima, who praised its refined combat, open-world design, and powerful narrative. Many are eager to see whether Ghost of Yōtei will expand on the original formula with even more dynamic stealth and combat choices, elements that are always welcome in a samurai-driven experience.

With today’s State of Play just around the corner, the excitement is really picking up. Whether you're hoping for fresh gameplay features or just more of the magic that made Ghost of Tsushima so unforgettable, this showcase promises a closer look at what Sucker Punch has been working on next.
