Ghost of Yotei Gameplay Deep Dive State of Play Confirmed for July 2025

During State of Play broadcast, Sony officially confirmed that a dedicated gameplay deep-dive for Ghost of Yotei will air in July 2025, setting the stage for a more extensive showcase of Sucker Punch Productions’ next major title. While the appearance of Ghost of Yotei during the presentation was brief, it served its purpose: a short cinematic tease reminding fans that the full reveal is just around the corner.

A Glimpse Into a New Legend

The teaser clip featured Atsu, the game’s wolf-companion-bound protagonist, standing with her animal ally beneath a darkened sky, gazing at a distant settlement. It was a quiet, cinematic moment—one that fans are speculating could serve as the narrative lead-in for the gameplay presentation in July. If so, it may transition directly into an extended look at stealth mechanics, world traversal, and combat.

Though brief, the teaser retained the atmospheric and emotional resonance that Sucker Punch has become known for since Ghost of Tsushima, hinting at the kind of rich storytelling and stylistic direction that Ghost of Yotei may deliver.

No Release Date Yet, But October Remains Likely

Sony has still not disclosed the specific date of the upcoming State of Play or a concrete release date for Ghost of Yotei. However, all signs continue to point toward an October 2025 launch window, which has been long rumored and widely anticipated.

Given the scope of Sucker Punch’s past work and the buildup surrounding Ghost of Yotei, expectations for the gameplay showcase are high. With a dedicated event just weeks away, players can likely expect a deep dive into mechanics, progression, narrative themes, and possibly confirmation of multiplayer or companion features.

All eyes now turn to July, when Sony and Sucker Punch are expected to lift the curtain on their ambitious follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima. With anticipation building and the teaser laying the emotional groundwork, Ghost of Yotei is poised to become one of the most talked-about releases of the year.
