And they were right, in a way, as the release date has just been revealed, along with some details about the story.

Story of the Ghost of Yotei
In short, the Ghost of Yotei is a revenge story. Kind of like a medieval Japanese version of Kill Bill!
“Sixteen years ago in the heart of Ezo (called Hokkaido in present day), a gang of outlaws known as the Yōtei Six took everything from Atsu. They killed her family and left her for dead, pinned to a burning ginkgo tree outside her home. But Atsu survived. She learned to fight, to kill, and to hunt, and after years away she has returned to her home with a list of six names: The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito.
One by one, she’s hunting them down to avenge her family, armed with the same katana used to pin her to that burning tree all those years ago. But while Atsu’s story begins with vengeance, she’ll find there’s more to her journey than just revenge. As she explores Ezo, Atsu will meet unlikely allies and forge connections that help give her a new sense of purpose.”
Honestly, sounds pretty cool, and we are even more interested than before! No doubt, a lot of fans think the same, and we are sure that Ghost of Yotei will be a massive success.
