We just had an exciting State of Play gameplay deep dive air for Sucker Punch's Ghost of Yōtei, and this included a first look at the PS5 Console – Ghost of Yōtei Limited Edition Bundles, featuring new intricate console designs with a matching DualSense Wireless controller.
These stunning designs capture Sucker Punch's fictional depiction of Ezo (which is now known as Hokkaido), and the world that players will embark on to explore Atsu's tale of vengeance. Mt. Yōtei is an iconic location and has become a symbol for Hokkaido as well as Atsu herself, which is why we wanted to reflect the beauty of the region and landscape by paying homage to two beautiful Japanese visual traditions. Fans will also love that both consoles feature a special maker's seal engraved with PlayStation shapes on the back of the console's top cover as well as on the DualSense Wireless controllers.
The PS5 Console – Ghost of Yōtei 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 PS5 Console – Ghost of Yōtei 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:
The PS5 Console – Ghost of Yōtei Limited Edition Bundles include a limited edition PS5 console with disc drive, matching DualSense wireless controller, and a digital copy of Ghost of Yōtei 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 Yōtei Six.
If you already own a PS5 (model group – slim) or PS5 Pro console, we have great news for you, too. You'll be able to purchase Console Covers for PS5 (model group – slim) and PS5 Pro – Ghost of Yōtei Gold Limited Edition – directly from PlayStation where direct.playstation.com is available* and in limited quantities in other regions through select online retailers. Both console covers feature the same kintsugi inspired designs and maker's seal found on The PS5 Console – Ghost of Yōtei Gold Limited Edition Bundle.
Both designs of the DualSense Wireless Controller – Ghost of Yōtei Limited Edition will also be available as a standalone purchase.
We recognize the importance of capturing the essence from which Ghost of Yōtei draws its inspiration, and we hope players deeply feel this influence through these designs as they experience the game. We can't wait for you to follow the wind again and experience Atsu's journey when Ghost of Yōtei releases on October 2.
