Key Highlights from the PlayStation State of Play September 2024

Ghost of Yotei

Sucker Punch has officially announced a sequel titled Ghost of Yotei, set 400 years after the events of the first game, during the early days of the Tokugawa Shogunate. The new protagonist, Atsu, will rise as a ghost in her quest for vengeance against her enemies. The game is scheduled for release in 2025.

Stellar Blade x NiER Automata

ShiftUp is collaborating once again with Yoko Taro to bring a crossover from the NiER series to one of their games. This time, instead of Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, the YoRHa androids will join forces with Eve and her team. Further details regarding this collaboration event’s timing are yet to be announced.

In addition to the NiER Automata crossover, ShiftUp revealed several new features for Stellar Blade, including a highly anticipated Photo Mode.
