Ghost of Yotei’s Gold & Black Editions: Kintsugi and Sumi-e Inspirations for PS5 Collector’s Bundles
Sucker Punch, the California-based studio, has unveiled two PlayStation 5 collector’s editions for its upcoming title, Ghost of Yotei. These limited editions draw inspiration from two significant Japanese art forms: Kintsugi and Sumi-e. Available in both Slim and Pro models, each limited edition bundle includes a PlayStation 5 console, a matching DualSense wireless controller, and a digital copy of the Ghost of Yotei game. Pre-order bonuses further enhance these bundles, featuring an exclusive in-game mask and a set of seven PlayStation Network avatars depicting Atsu and the Six of Yotei. For players who do not wish to purchase a new console, limited golden edition console covers will also be sold separately, along with the two DualSense controller models. The Gold Edition: Kintsugi as a Narrative Metaphor The globally available Gold Edition is inspired by Kintsugi, the ancient art of repairing broken ceramics with gold-dusted lacquer. This philosophy—sublimating scars rather than erasing them—directly echoes the narrative arc of Atsu, the game’s heroine, as she seeks redemption and healing. Consequently, the console bears finely traced golden fractures and an embossed PlayStation symbol seal. The accompanying DualSense controller subtly extends Atsu’s silhouette over the touchpad. The Black Edition: Sumi-e for an Introspective Reading
More exclusive, the Black Edition will be available solely on direct.playstation.com in relevant regions. Its design stems from Sumi-e, the art of monochrome painting with black ink. Through broad brushstrokes reminiscent of Ezo’s landscapes—the former name of present-day Hokkaido, the game’s setting—this edition captures the character’s inner ambiguity, balancing light and darkness. It presents a minimalist, raw aesthetic that is equally meaningful. The controller echoes this dark tone, reinforced by fine Sumi-e prints. A separate DualSense Wireless Controller for the Black Edition will also be available at select retailers in Japan. Mount Yotei: At the Heart of the Design Central to the design of both editions is Mount Yotei, a majestic volcanic massif in Hokkaido, which serves as Atsu’s emblem and anchor in Sucker Punch’s fictional world. It stands prominently at the center of the console’s visual, striking a perfect balance between stylized cartography and engraved aesthetics. Jason Connell, the creative director of Sucker Punch, confirmed the design philosophy, stating, “We wanted to pay homage to exploration. Atsu’s hand on his map, his golden ghostly mask, his artist gestures. It’s all thoughtful, coherent, carefully crafted.”
Limited Edition PlayStation 5 Launch on October 2, 2025 – Pre-Orders Open Later via Direct.Playstation.com & Regional Partners
Both limited editions are set to launch on October 2, 2025, in limited quantities. While the official price has not yet been announced, it is anticipated to be around 600, similar to other special edition consoles. Pre-orders will open at a later date via direct.playstation.com and select regional partner retailers.
