00:30We've crafted the game around exploration while keeping Atsu's tale of vengeance front and center.
00:36We'll also talk about ghost combat and how it's evolved.
00:39And we'll introduce for the first time some new special modes of play.
00:44But let's start things off first by talking about a Japanese folk legend.
00:49The Unreal.
01:00The people of Ezo believe Atsu is an onryo.
01:11A wrathful ghost bent on revenge.
01:15And they're half right.
01:17Atsu doesn't care if she lives or dies.
01:20So long as she can punish the Yotei Six.
01:24A ruthless gang who slaughtered her family.
01:28After 16 years in the South, she's returned home to put their spirits to rest.
01:36It's warm memories of her family that propel her forward.
01:57When Atsu returns to her childhood home with 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.
02:27She'll face a thousand blades.
02:31But the onryo is relentless.
02:34And with each victory, the ghost story around her grows.
02:39Ghost of Yotei Six 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.
03:06So let's start off by talking about exploration at the edge of Japan.
03:14We all have different play styles, so we set out to make an open world game that lets you drive your own experiences.
03:21Whether that's your curiosity to wander, your thirst for combat, or a deep desire to stay focused on the story.
03:28As you explore, there's an underlying clue system that invites you to new adventures in new areas of the game that could be appealing to you.
03:37If you interrogate an enemy, choosing to ask about the Oni, you could uncover a landscape scarred by fire with more bold samurai-like enemies to fight and abilities for Atsu to learn.
03:50Or if you ask about the Kitsune, it might lead you to an area filled with snow and deception, enemies that ambush you, and new ninja-like tactics to study.
03:59Atsu draws cards for each clue to keep track of all available adventures.
04:05The more you play, the more the game unfolds for you.
04:08As she makes progress against the Yotei Six, her legend as the on-rails grows.
04:14It's her!
04:17Bounty will go up, drawing the attention of deadlier foes.
04:22There is a hefty price on Atsu's head.
04:46Now, Atsu can also hunt down her own bounties that bring her all around the land.
04:50This is a lucrative way to make some money to fuel her vengeance quest.
05:16You're not of Clan Eguchi.
05:18You're here for my bounty.
05:20Hidden in the world are altars of reflection.
05:47Finding one inspires Asu 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, you 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, but we think the best way to play is to simply pull out your spyglass, find something interesting on the horizon, and enjoy the ride.
06:43The lands around Yotei are fast.
07:00It's not about checking it all off, it's about engaging in the content that gets you excited.
07:08Embrace that curiosity and let the wind guide you on your hunt.
07:12Ezo 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?
07:38Each is uniquely effective against a particular enemy, and has their own set of upgrades to discover and master.
07:53Let's see how she uses these weapons in the field, searching for leads on Lord Saito.
08:00This is our food, from our soil.
08:05Our soldiers needed more, to free you.
08:09Free us?
08:11Inokichi steals our crops, while our families starve.
08:17Atsu's no samurai or ninja.
08:20No, she's a lone wolf mercenary, who'll use every advantage, every dirty trick, to win a fight.
08:30Combat has the feel of a classic samurai movie.
08:45Every motion counts.
08:47It's about lethal precision.
09:00If an enemy swings hard, Atsu can lose her weapon.
09:07But if she's quick, she can disarm them.
09:20Choose the right weapon for the job.
09:23To fight a massive enemy, her huge Odachi blade is best.
09:30He looks like the one in charge.
09:48Tonight, we feast!
10:00Slades are great, but ranged weapons work too.
10:08And Atsu's got an arsenal.
10:16A bounty hunter!
10:20A ghost!
10:22Their own 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.
10:38No more!
10:55Tell me what you know about Saito.
10:59Atsu doesn't always fight alone.
11:01She'll meet several allies on her hunt.
11:05Including a mysterious wolf.
11:07Atsu can set up camp under the stars of Ezo.
11:23But she's not always alone.
11:29Hey, friend.
11:31Share 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.
11:41Camping under the stars is a great way to rest up, play your shamisen, or cook to ready for a fight ahead.
11:48It'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 Ezo.
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.
12:15Managing upgrades, resources, when to buy what, can be a burden in a big open-world game.
12:20At 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.
12:36While exploring Ezo, you'll discover all sorts of new armor, charms, and gear.
12:48Perfect for building up Atsu around your chosen playstyle.
12:54Are you stealth, ranged, or melee-focused?
12:59Find and combine the pieces that are just right for you.
13:03And 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.
13:33The score of Ghost of Yotei is incredibly special to us.
13:43Our amazing composer, Toma Otoa, has created a mash-up of Eastern instrumentation with Western flavors,
13:51brought to life through an exciting collaboration of many talented artists.
13:56If you like what you heard, we're releasing two tracks featured in today's state of play
14:12on your favorite streaming service immediately after the show.
14:15The digital photography community for Ghost of Tsushima is incredible.
14:36We're happy to have Photo Mode back in Ghost of Yotei
14:39and look forward to seeing photos from your journey across Ezo.
14:52We want playing through Ghost of Yotei to feel like stepping inside of your favorite classic samurai films.

15:51for Kurosawa Mode, which emulates his classic black and white films.
16:06For Ghosts of Yotei, we wanted to celebrate two other influential directors who have had an impact on the genre as a whole.
16:27First, we've partnered with Takeshi Miike, director of 13 Assassins,
16:37for a mode that puts the camera closer during combat for a more intense, raw experience along with increased mud and blood splatter.
16:45And 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.
