The April 23 reveal showcased an atmospheric trailer titled "The Onryō's List," offering glimpses into the game's narrative and combat mechanics.
Set 300 years after Ghost of Tsushima, this standalone sequel follows protagonist Atsu's quest for vengeance across the frozen landscapes of Ezo (modern-day Hokkaido).
