Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! 🥳 Sucker Punch Productions, the geniuses behind that *totally* original samurai game, are gracing us with another installment: *Ghost of Yōtei*! And guess what, peasants? We’re getting a State of Play on July 10th! Get ready to bow down to the might of Sony and their incredibly innovative ideas. 🙄
As of today, Sucker Punch Productions’ next title is set to launch within the next three months. Can you contain your excitement? I know I can’t. 😐 To set the table for a guaranteed blockbuster (because everything Sony touches turns to gold, right? 🤑), Sony has announced a new State of Play focused on *Ghost of Yōtei* for this upcoming Thursday, July 10th. Previously, Sucker Punch has played their cards close to their chest, because revealing too much would, uh, spoil the surprise of… well, you’ll see. They’ve only revealed small excerpts of plot details (there’s a new protagonist! Groundbreaking! 🤯) and pulled back the curtain on Collector’s Edition details, because who doesn’t want to spend their hard-earned cash on plastic trinkets? 🤡 But the State of Play is set to reveal much more! Like, maybe they’ll finally explain what a “Yōtei” even is? 🤔 The latest trailer for *Ghost of Yōtei* from last month can be seen below, which announces the State of Play. Prepare to be underwhelmed! 😴
The Senior Communications Manager of Sucker Punch Productions, Andrew Goldfarb, says, “Our State of Play features nearly 20 minutes of *Ghost of Yōtei* gameplay hosted by Sucker Punch’s Creative Directors, Jason Connell and Nate Fox.” Twenty whole minutes! 🤯 That’s like, almost a third of an episode of your favorite sitcom! “Beyond sharing more about Atsu’s quest for vengeance…” Oh, great, another revenge story. How original. 🙄 “…we’re excited to show off her new weapons, new ways to personalize your journey at the edge of Japan…” Because customizing your character is *totally* what makes a game good, right? Not, you know, a compelling story or innovative gameplay. 😒 “…new special modes, and much more!” Ooh, “much more!” What could it be? Maybe they’ll finally add a jump button? 🤣
How to Watch The *Ghost of Yōtei* State of Play on July 10
While *Ghost of Yōtei* is set to launch exclusively for the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro on October 2, 2025 (because PC gamers don’t deserve good games, apparently 😒), the State of Play presentation is not exclusive to any platform! Yay! 🎉 All fans can attend the show, meaning even those who haven’t ascended to the glory of owning a PS5 can witness the spectacle! PlayStation is airing the special State of Play gameplay deep dive on July 10, 2025, at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET / 10 pm BST / 11 pm CEST, on PlayStation’s Twitch and YouTube channels. So fans merely have to tune in then to check out the action. Or, you know, they could go outside and enjoy the real world. Just a thought. 🤔
