Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Sucker Punch Productions recently revealed 20 minutes of gameplay footage for Ghost of Yotei during its recent State of Play event. The gameplay showcases several combat elements, weapons, customization options, several special modes, and more. Additionally, the publisher announced two PlayStation 5 Ghost of Yotei Limited Edition bundles. These are the Ghost of Yotei Gold Limited Edition PlayStation 5 Console Bundle and the Ghost of Yotei Black Limited Edition PlayStation 5 Console Bundle. The bundles include console covers and DualSense controllers which will also be available as separate purchases.
The bundle details:
Console Bundles
The PlayStation 5 Console – Ghost of Yotei Gold Limited Edition Bundle will be available globally, and is inspired by the Japanese art form, kintsugi, a traditional process to repair broken ceramics with lacquer and gold. The design captures the essence and aesthetic of kintsugi, symbolizing beauty in imperfection and mirroring Atsu’s own personal journey of healing and resilience amidst the adversities she’ll face along the way.
The PlayStation 5 Console – Ghost of Yotei Black Limited Edition Bundle will be exclusively available at direct.playstation.com*. This version draws inspiration from another Japanese traditional art form, Sumi-e, which is the use of black ink on paintings. Expressing the landmarks of Ezo through bold black brush strokes, this design captures the essence of the land’s beauty and mystery, while echoing Atsu’s inner struggle and journey towards redemption. Both bundles come with a matching DualSense wireless controller, featuring a striking silhouette of Atsu on the DualSense touchpad.
We’re proud of these fantastic designs from the teams at Sucker Punch, which were made in close collaboration with the design team at Sony Interactive Entertainment. Sucker Punch shared with us why they decided to pursue these unique forms of art:
“Our inspiration for this design came straight from one of the core aspects within the game: a deep focus on exploration,” said Ghost of Yotei creative director Jason Connell. “This includes the hand-drawn icons Atsu marks on her map, a kintsugi-style effect pulled from her Ghost mask, and brushstrokes reminiscent of her Sumi-e paintings. The towering Mount Yotei is included at the center of the console design to pull it all together, and Atsu is spotlighted on the DualSense controller. Each of these elements were thoughtfully woven into both the console and controller designs.”
The PlayStation 5 Console – Ghost of Yotei Limited Edition Bundles include a limited edition PlayStation 5 console with disc drive, matching DualSense wireless controller, and a digital copy of Ghost of Yotei Standard Edition that includes pre-order content, featuring a unique in-game mask, as well as a set of seven PSN avatars featuring concept art of Atsu and each member of the Yotei Six.
Accessories
If you already own a PlayStation 5 (model group – slim) or PlayStation 5 Pro console, we have great news for you, too.

Both console covers feature the same kintsugi inspired designs and maker’s seal found on The PlayStation 5 Console – Ghost of Yotei Gold Limited Edition Bundle.

We recognize the importance of capturing the essence from which Ghost of Yotei draws its inspiration, and we hope players deeply feel this influence through these designs as they experience the game.
