Ghost Of Yotei Directors Share Philosophy On Balancing Freedom With Story
Briefly

Ghost of Yōtei occurs in 1603, after the end of the Warring States period. This time marked a significant historical phase in Japan where former warriors are drawn to the lawless wilderness of Ezo, modern-day Hokkaido. The game's protagonist, Atsu, is depicted as an Onryō, a spirit of vengeance. She navigates a stunning landscape filled with danger. The game serves as a spiritual sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, but players do not need prior knowledge of the original to engage with its story.
The game takes place in 1603, which is a pretty interesting time in Japanese history. The warring States period just ended. Peace has broken out across the land.
Atsu is considered an Onryō, an avenging spirit, by the people of Ezo because she keeps living through all of these attempts to get revenge.
