Discovering Tranquil Hokkaido Before its Uproar in Ghost of Yotei – A Preview of Sorrowful Vistas and Revenge-Fueled Journey
Marketing for Ghost of Tsushima was largely subdued until a month before its worldwide launch, when it suddenly intensified. Previously, Sony focused on Jin Sakai’s sword skills and action-packed combat. A recent ten-minute video from Sucker Punch, however, presents a distinct shift, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty of Ezotoday’s Hokkaido before its eventual upheaval. Like a moving postcard, the video features stunning visuals accompanied by Toma Otowa’s haunting music, which is already available for streaming. Sucker Punch’s varied landscapes and meticulous art direction craft visually arresting moments, inviting players to spend hours exploring the open world and utilizing its photo mode. This tranquility, however, is merely a fleeting aspect of Ghost of Yotei. Creative director Nate Fox clarifies that Atsu is distinct from Jin Sakai. While Jin found solace in nature and composed haikus, Atsu’s journey is driven by revenge. In Ghost of Yotei, the serene landscapes serve as a temporary backdrop, destined to be disrupted by Atsu’s calculated violence. Ghost of Yotei is set to launch on October 2nd, exclusively for PS5.
