Ghost of Yotei, the long-awaited follow-up toGhost of Tsushima, is shaping up to be one of the biggest PlayStation first-party games of not just 2025, but the entire PlayStation 5 console generation. Announced during a State of Play in September 2024, the highly-anticipated open-world game is being developed by the Sony-owned studio Sucker Punch Productions, which is making its first-ever title from the ground up for PS5 hardware.Ghost of Yoteiis, like the company’s previous game, going to be a completely standalone experience, so those who didn’t playGhost of Tsushimawill still be able to enjoy it.
Sony hasn’t announced a specificrelease date forGhost of Yoteijust yet, but many are speculating that the game will come out sometime in thefall. Regardless of what month it launches in,Ghost of Yoteiwill presumably have a collector’s edition available for purchase, just like many of the other recently-released AAA Sony games. If such a collector’s edition does exist, it’d be hard to say what items would be included in it. With that said, a statue of the wolf that’s featured inGhost of Yotei’s reveal trailer would be a great collectible for this version of the game.
Ghost of Yotei’s Collector’s Edition Should Come With a Wolf Statue
The Gray Wolf from Ghost of Yotei’s Reveal Trailer Could Be a Companion for Atsu
The announcement trailer forGhost of Yoteiis brief, but informative in a lot of ways. It implicitly tells viewers all they need to know about the game without an unnecessary exposition dump. One aspect of the trailer that is particularly worth highlighting isthe presence of animals. Atsu, the protagonist ofGhost of Yotei, is not only seen riding a horse, but also taming a gray wolf at the end of the trailer. This may be an indication that some animals, namely wolves, will serve as companions in the game.Ghost of Yoteiis seemingly going to take place in more rural and desolate locations compared toGhost of Tsushima, so having an animal ally or two would come in handy for players who are trying to survive in the wilderness.
The Ghost of Yotei Collector’s Edition Will Probably Be Similar to Its Ghost of Tsushima Counterpart
If the gray wolf shown in the trailer does actuallyplay a big role inGhost of Yotei, then it’d be logical for Sony to make a statue out of it for the game’s collector’s edition. This wouldn’t be too unusual of an addition, considering the collector’s edition forGhost of Tsushimacontained some neat little trinkets, as well. This edition, however, didn’t come with any statues, but it did include a one-to-one replica of the ninja mask that Jin Sakai, the game’s protagonist, famously wore.
TheGhost of Tsushimacollector’s editionalso contained a handful of other items, such as an Island of Tsushima cloth map, a Sashimono war banner, a physical mini-art book, and a Furoshiki wrapping cloth. It also had some digital in-game goods, like a Hero of Tsushima skin set and an extra technique point. TheGhost of Yoteicollector’s edition, if it even exists, will probably include items similar to these, as well.
Ghost of Yotei’s Collector’s Edition Will Likely Be Less than $200
Despite containing nearly a dozen different goodies, theGhost of Tsushimacollector’s edition “only” cost around $170, which wasn’t that pricey compared to collector’s editions for other AAA games. At the time thatGhost of Tsushimawas released, AAA games were still $60, so the bonus items included inthe collector’s editionessentially cost an additional $110. It’s safe to assume that, if aGhost of Yoteicollector’s edition does get made, it will probably be about the same price point (e.g. $170 to $190). The previously mentioned wolf statue may jack up the cost of the edition as a whole, especially if it’s made with high quality materials, but someGhost of Yoteifans may still be willing to pay a premium price for it.
