Sequel to Ghost of Tsushima

Ghost of Yotei

The much-awaited follow-up to Sucker Punch’s blockbuster hit, Ghost of Tsushima, is finally upon us. The sequel is titled Ghost of Yotei and it is coming in 2025.

Revealed at the end of the September 2024 State of Play, Ghost of Yotei will definitely be one of the most awaited titles and PlayStation exclusives in 2025. This one, though, offers a twist. Instead of starring the same protagonist – Jin Sakai – Ghost of Yotei will have a new lead. And it will be set 300 years from the events of Ghost of Tsushima.

The new protagonist is female and is named Atsu. As mentioned earlier, the story takes place in 1603 – three centuries apart from the first game. And instead of the island of Tsushima, as the title suggests, it is set in the lands surrounding Mount Yōtei. It’s a towering peak in the heart of Ezo, an area of Japan known as Hokkaido in present day.

Maintaining Ghost gameplay

On the PlayStation blog, the developers said they “wanted to maintain the core pillars established in Ghost of Tsushima: playing as a wandering warrior in Feudal Japan, offering freedom to explore at your own pace, and highlighting the beauty of the world.”

They also mentioned that this game is built from the ground up, specifically for the PlayStation 5. Like the first game, they promise this to be another visual spectacle: ” massive sightlines that let you look far across the environment, whole new skies featuring twinkling stars and auroras”

The new setting will also have them introduce new mechanics, gameplay improvements, and even new weapons. They’re also promising “more believable movement from wind on grass and vegetation, and more improvements.”

Ghost of Yotei will release in 2025. Watch the trailer.

The hunt begins: The Witcher in Concert hits Manila with surprises in tow

The Continent comes alive

Published

on

If you’ve ever heard a haunting chant echo through a battlefield or felt the weight of a choice that isn’t as simple as good or evil, then you already know—the Path has a way of calling you back.

And if you haven’t stepped into that world just yet, consider this your invitation.

With less than two weeks to go, The Witcher in Concert is set to take over Manila for a one-night-only performance. It’s happening on March 28, 2026 at The Theatre at Solaire—bringing with it not just the music of a beloved RPG, but a full-on return to the Continent.

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the concert transforms one of gaming’s most iconic soundtracks into a live experience. Expect performances from selected musicians of the Filharmonika Orchestra alongside Percival Schuttenbach—the Polish folk-metal band whose distinct sound helped define the game’s identity. Paired with in-game visuals, it’s a show designed to feel both nostalgic and entirely new.

As the night draws closer, here are three things fans can look forward to:

Relics from the Continent: official merchandise

For those who want to take a piece of the experience home, exclusive event merchandise will be available in limited quantities.

This includes the following:

  • Event Tee (PhP2,200)
  • Geralt Long Sleeve (PhP3,400)
  • Event Hoodie (PhP4,200)
  • Beanie (PhP1,800)
  • Tote bag (PhP1,800)
  • Key chain (PhP1,400)
  • Enamel pin set (PhP1,400)
  • Event magnet (PhP800)
  • Geralt gaming mouse pad (PhP2,000)

It’s the kind of loot drop fans won’t want to miss.

The path to Solaire: getting there made easier

Getting to the venue is part of the journey—and this time, it’s a little easier. Attendees can use the Grab code FCPH2026 to get 20% off rides (up to PhP75). With the condition of a minimum fare of PhP250. The promo is valid for two rides per user and applies to trips to and from Solaire Entertainment City.

A rare encounter: meet Percival Schuttenbach

For a handful of lucky fans, the experience goes beyond the stage. Ten winners will get the chance to meet Percival Schuttenbach and receive an autographed CD.

To join, ticket holders need to share any official The Witcher in Concert post on their Instagram Story. They need to write what they’re most excited to hear live and tag @filmconcerts.ph. They need to submit their entry before March 24, 2026 at 5:00 PM. Winners will be announced on March 25.

Answer the call

As the Continent arrives in Manila, fans are encouraged to lean all the way in—whether that means coming in cosplay as a monster hunter, mage, bard, or something far more dangerous.

Tickets are available via TicketWorld and participating outlets nationwide.

The Path is open. The question is—will you answer the call?
