Next Month’s Ghost of Yōtei Deep Dive: Can We Pet The Dog

Sucker Punch Productions is gearing up to showcase their upcoming game, Ghost of Yōtei, with a gameplay deep dive scheduled for next month. Fans can expect insights into evolved gameplay mechanics encompassing exploration and combat during this reveal in July. The anticipation builds around a teaser that features the game’s protagonist, Atsu, along with a hint of her canine companion, raising the question—will players be able to interact and pet the dog? Ghost of Yōtei is set to launch on PlayStation 5 on October 2, 2025, and follows Atsu’s quest for vengeance against the notorious Yōtei Six, a gang responsible for her family's demise.

While the developers have not confirmed this detail yet, the gameplay deep dive next month may provide answers regarding interactions with the canine companion.

Ghost of Yōtei builds on the legacy of Ghost of Tsushima, introducing players to a richly woven narrative steeped in Japanese culture. The game promises an immersive experience as players dive into the story of Atsu, who transforms from a victim of violence to a skilled fighter pursuing revenge against her enemies. With its focus on exploration and combat mechanics, it aims to maintain the high standards set by its predecessor.
