In the first extended look at Ghost of Yotei's gameplay hosted by creative directors Jason Connell and Nate Fox, developer Sucker Punch shared more details about how players will go about exacting revenge on the Yotei Six, the infamous group of bandits who killed Atsu's family and left her for dead. Atsu, the new protagonist, is described as neither a samurai nor a ninja, but as a 'lone wolf mercenary' ready to pick up any weapon or trick to get the better of her enemies.
