Ghost of Yōtei: a determined outsider seeks revenge in feudal Japan

The article discusses the upcoming open-world adventure game "Ghost of Yōtei," which is set in feudal Japan. The protagonist, Atsu, is a wandering sellsword from a lowly family, unlike the protagonist of the previous game, "Ghost of Tsushima," who was a samurai. As a woman with low status, Atsu has no fixed place in 17th-century Japanese society and must use unconventional tactics to seek revenge on the Yōtei Six, the men who killed her family. The game's co-director, Nate Fox, emphasizes that Atsu is not someone who commands respect, unlike the protagonist of the previous game. The article suggests that while "Ghost of Tsushima" was about a samurai grappling with the trade-off between honor and power, "Ghost of Yōtei" focuses on Atsu seizing the only power she can to achieve her goal of revenge.
