In addition to the franchise\u2019s iconic single katana, Atsu will be able to wield an odachi (a long samurai sword), kusarigama (a sickle attached to a heavy weight via a long metal chain), spear, and dual katanas. While the combat\u2019s main focus is still on the katana, Fox says that Atsu will encounter different teachers on her journey who will teach her how to use new weapons and techniques.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1349\" height=\"754\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1349px) 100vw, 1349px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250424-47388-001.jpg\" alt=\"Ghost of Yotei\" class=\"wp-image-47393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250424-47388-001.jpg 1349w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250424-47388-001-380x212.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250424-47388-001-768x429.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Atsu will also be able to pick up and throw weapons dropped by defeated foes.

Not all enemy weapons will be throwable, as throwing something like a heavy iron mace would either be overpowered or unrealistic.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It isn\u2019t confirmed yet if Ghost of Yotei will retain the stance system of Ghost of Tsushima. If so, Atsu\u2019s weapons will have more depth to them than players realize. Add in a wide variety of tools and throwable weapons, and Ghost of Yotei\u2019s combat could end up being more expressive and diverse than its predecessor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ghost of Yotei is set to release on October 2, 2025, for PlayStation 5.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghost of Yotei Creative Directors Nate Fox and Jason Cornell mention new weapons protagonist Atsu will use in the sequel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":47391,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[18],"class_list":["post-47388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-global-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
