00:00Hello everyone, this is Jason Connell and Nate Fox from Sucker Punch Productions.
00:18Ghost of Tsushima was an honor to be a part of, and today Nate and I get to share more
00:24about our next game, Ghost of Yotei. We'll be sharing how we've crafted the game around
00:31exploration while keeping Atsu's tale of vengeance front and center. We'll also talk
00:36about ghost combat and how it's evolved, and we'll introduce for the first time some
00:41new special modes of play. But let's start things off first by talking about a Japanese
00:47folk legend, the Onryo.
01:06The people of Ezo believe Atsu is an Onryo, a wrathful ghost bent on revenge.
01:14And they're half right. Atsu doesn't care if she lives or dies, so long as she can punish
01:22the Yotei Six, a ruthless gang who slaughtered her family.
01:31After 16 years in the south, she's returned home to put their spirits to rest.
01:44It's warm memories of her family that propel her forward. When Atsu returns to her childhood home,
02:00with the push of a button, you can experience those cherished times.
02:04By giving you the freedom to explore Atsu's past, the wound of her loss becomes personal.
02:18It's that pain that pushes her forward.
02:23Hunting down the Yotei Six is a near impossible task. She'll face a thousand blades.
02:30But the Onryo is relentless. And with each victory, the ghost story around her grows.
02:47Ghost of Yotei focuses on player freedom more than any game Sucker Punch has ever made.
03:01But it's also a game that at its heart is inspired by so many of our favorite wandering samurai films.
03:08So let's start off by talking about exploration at the edge of Japan.
03:12We all have different play styles, so we set out to make an open world game that lets you
03:19drive your own experiences. Whether that's your curiosity to wander, your thirst for combat,
03:24or a deep desire to stay focused on the story.
03:29As you explore, there's an underlying clue system that invites you to new adventures in new areas of
03:35the game that could be appealing to you. If you interrogate an enemy choosing to ask about the Oni,
03:42you could uncover a landscape scarred by fire with more bold samurai-like enemies to fight and
03:47abilities for Atsu to learn. Or if you ask about the Kitsune, it might lead you to an area filled
03:53with snow and deception, enemies that ambush you, and new ninja-like tactics to study.
04:00Atsu draws cards for each clue to keep track of all available adventures. The more you play,
04:06the more the game unfolds for you. As she makes progress against the Yotei Six,
04:11her legend as the on-rail grows.
04:17It's her.
04:19Bounty will go up, drawing the attention of deadlier foes.
04:22There is a hefty price on Atsu's head. Now, Atsu can also hunt down her own bounties that bring her all
04:49around the land. This is a lucrative way to make some money to fuel our vengeance quest.
04:54You're not of clan Eguchi. You're here for my bounty.
05:03You're not of clan Eguchi. You're here for my bounty.
05:19You're here for my bounty.
05:44Hidden in the world are altars of reflection.
05:47Finding one inspires Atsu and unlocks a new ability to help her on the journey ahead.
05:59They are fun to find on their own, but for a quicker route,
06:02you can always buy a traveler's map from the cartographer.
06:09Ghost of Yotei isn't going to rush you through anything.
06:13You can choose what motivates you most.
06:18But we think the best way to play is to simply pull out your spyglass,
06:23find something interesting on the horizon, and enjoy the ride.
06:26Let's ride!
06:27Let's ride!
06:28Oh, my God.
06:58The plans around Yotei are fast.
07:02It's not about checking it all off.
07:04It's about engaging in the content that gets you excited.
07:08Embrace that curiosity and let the wind guide you on your hunt.
07:22Ezo is a dangerous place.
07:25Atsu always wields a weapon.
07:28As for which, that's up to you.
07:31Will you choose a katana, spear, a surigama, odachi, or dual swords?
07:39Each is uniquely effective against a particular enemy
07:43and has their own set of upgrades to discover and master.
07:47Let's see how she uses these weapons in the field, searching for leads on Lord Saito.
08:00This is our food, from our soil.
08:05Her soldiers needed more to free you.
08:09Free us?
08:11Inokichi steals our crops while our families starve.
08:14Hatsu's no samurai or ninja.
08:20No.
08:21She's a lone wolf mercenary who'll use every advantage, every dirty trick, to win a fight.
08:27Combat has the feel of a classic samurai movie.
08:46Every motion counts.
08:47It's about lethal precision.
08:49I'm done.
08:51I'm done.
08:52If an enemy swings hard, Atsu can lose her weapon.
09:07But if she's quick, she can disarm them.
09:10Choose the right weapon for the job.
09:23To fight a massive enemy, her huge odachi blade is best.
09:28He looks like the one in charge.
09:48Tonight, we beast!
09:50Slades are great, but ranged weapons work too.
10:08And Atsu's got an arsenal.
10:16The bounty hunter!
10:17Throne weapons like kunai, bombs, or even blinding powder can give Atsu an edge.
10:32When enemies switch weapons, you'll have to adapt.
10:36Dual swords are best against spears.
10:38Throne weapons like kunai, bombs, or even blinding powder can give Atsu an edge.
10:39No more!
10:40Tell me what you know about Saito.
10:41Tell me what you know about Saito.
10:59Atsu doesn't always fight alone.
11:01She'll meet several allies on her hunt, including a mysterious wolf.
11:18Atsu can set up camp under the stars of Ezo.
11:21But she's not always alone.
11:28Hey friend, share your fire with the traveling peddler?
11:33What are you selling?
11:34A mask, said to be cursed with the unpredictable nature of its previous owner.
11:40Camping under the stars is a great way to rest up, play your shamisen, or cook to ready for a fight ahead.
11:47It's also designed to help bring important characters and upgrades straight to you.
11:53In fact, in place of the journal menu from Ghost of Tsushima, we've opted for a more character-driven way of managing allies and vendors you meet in A-Zone.
12:03Over time, Atsu grows to have her own wolf pack.
12:07Here, you can keep track of when a sensei might have a weapon skill for you, or when a vendor has something unique to sell.
12:14Managing upgrades, resources, when to buy what, can be a burden in a big open world game.
12:19At campsites, members of your wolf pack can catch up with you, offering upgrades and unique items.
12:26This helps ensure you have every opportunity to upgrade and prepare for Atsu's Vengeance quest ahead.
12:33You don't have to leave where you're exploring, the game comes to you.
12:42While exploring Ezo, you'll discover all sorts of new armor, charms, and gear.
12:47Perfect for building up Atsu around your chosen playstyle.
12:54Are you stealth, ranged, or melee-focused?
12:58Find and combine the pieces that are just right for you.
13:02And, of course, customize the look of your armor and weapons to make sure that your version of Atsu looks and fights just the way you want.
13:15The score of Ghost of Yote is incredibly special to us.
13:36Our amazing composer, Toma Otoa, has created a mashup of Eastern instrumentation with Western flavors, brought to life through an exciting collaboration of many talented artists.
13:55If you like what you heard, we're releasing two tracks featured in today's state of play on your favorite streaming service immediately after the show.
14:14The digital photography community for Ghost of Tsushima is incredible.
14:35We're happy to have Photo Mode back in Ghost of Yote and look forward to seeing photos from your journey across Ezo.
14:42We want playing through Ghost of Yote to feel like stepping inside of your favorite classic samurai films.
14:57So, from the beginning of the game, we're happy to offer a full Japanese voice track with full lip sync that you can play with subtitles.
15:03Who's the one?

15:36You're a girl of a sword.
15:37You're a girl of a sword.
15:38You're a girl of a sword.
15:41To take the feeling of stepping into a classic samurai cinema experience one step further, we are honored to once again partner with acclaimed director Akira Kurosawa's estate for Kurosawa Mode, which emulates his classic black and white films.
15:55Not beautiful, but we've been U.S.
15:57We are an author of the many ways to complete the film of the movie.
16:00That's why we're supposed to be the first half of the movie.
16:02He's a man of a dynamic friend, but it's very well-designed and the rocket, it's very great.
16:05Anyway, even though he's got to be a dude, he's been angry with his queens and his friends, with the lead of luck.
16:07To be a woman of a one, he's been angry with this.
16:08And while he's 100% away, he's been angry with his friends, he's been angry with that.
16:09For Ghosts of Yotei, we wanted to celebrate two other influential directors who have had an impact in the saga arc.
16:11For Ghosts of Yotei, we wanted to celebrate two other influential directors
16:25who have had an impact on the genre as a whole.
16:33First, we've partnered with Takeshi Miike, director of 13 Assassins,
16:37for a mode that puts the camera closer during combat
16:40for a more intense, raw experience, along with increased mud and blood splatter.
16:46And lastly, we've partnered with the director of Samurai Champloo, Shinichiro Watanabe.
16:52Turn this mode on to listen to some original, lo-fi tracks directed by Watanabe himself.
