Ghost of Yotei PS5 Gold

Developer Sucker Punch has confirmed that Ghost of Yotei — set to release in just over a month, on the 2nd October — has gone gold.

For those unfamiliar with the term, going 'gold' means that the game is ready to ship. It doesn't always mean that the title's in prime condition — we do live in an age of prominent day one patches, after all — but retail production will soon be underway, and the launch version will be getting uploaded to Sony's PS Store servers.

In other words, that aforementioned release date is going to stick from this point on, unless there's some kind of crazy mishap over the next few weeks.

Ghost of Yotei has been in development for roughly five years. Its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima, launched in the summer of 2020 on PS4. Now we just have to hope that this sequel lives up to what we think is still one of the most refined open world adventures on PlayStation.
