When Does Ghost Of Yotei Take Place

Ghost of Yotei Story Timeline

In the official PlayStation blog, Andrew Goldfarb, Senior Communications Manager of Sucker Punch Productions has shared some great insight about the game. It’s been confirmed that the upcoming sequel takes place over 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima.
For those who don’t remember the first game’s story was set in 1274 on the Japanese islands of Tsushima and Iki. Thus, 300 years later, Atsu, the new hero embarks on her expedition in 1603. We will get to explore Feudal Japan in a period when this new region was outside of Japan’s jurisdiction.
The developers have further mentioned that “It’s a far cry from the organized samurai clans who lived in Tsushima, and it’s the setting for an original story we can’t wait to tell.”

What is Ghost of Yotei’s Setting?

The backdrop of the new Ghost tale is confirmed to take place in the regions around Mount Yotei located in the center of Ezo (now known as Hokkaido in modern Japan). Now you can understand where the new game’s title is coming from. Furthermore, the devs remarked on the setting of the story:
We can’t wait to step into the upgraded and alluring localities of Feudal Japan similar to what we experienced in Ghost of Tsushima back then. The devs have also promised to share more updates about Atsu’s daring journey in the future. So are you excited for Ghosto of Yotei? Let us know in the comments below!
