Ghost of Yotei is set in 1600s rural Japan, 300 years after the events of the first game. This time, we follow Atsu, a haunted, lone mercenary thirsty for revenge as she travels through the beautiful, rugged landscapes of northern Japan, hunting those who killed her family many years earlier.

16 years after her family’s death, Atsu’s quest across Ezo brings her to unexplored lands in search of a gang of six outlaws known as the Yōtei Six: The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito; but she finds much more than vengeance.

Throughout her journey, Atsu will discover unlikely allies and greater bonds than she could have imagined.
