Update [Fri 8th Aug 2025, 7:30pm]: For whatever reason, the post featuring the Ghost of Yotei footage has been taken down. However, the internet works fast, and you can watch a mirror of the video on ResetEra.
It’s unclear why the video has been removed from the official accounts; presumably it will reappear in the near future.
Original Story: Ghost of Yotei is the next major first-party game from Sony, and it’s looking great, especially after that recent State of Play — and it now seems the marketing machine is officially up and running.
New gameplay footage has made its way online via official social channels, and the video puts the spotlight on just one of Atsu’s weapons — the kusarigama.
Swing, slash, and pull Atsu’s enemies to their doom with the versatile kusarigama in Ghost of Yōtei, out October 2 on PS5: https://t.co/nWPcY7QKTq pic.twitter.com/nsD3q1NUZw— PlayStation (@PlayStation) August 8, 2025
The kusarigama — a small sickle on the end of a long chain — looks particularly violent here. Atsu is able to cast it out to enemies and pull them towards her for a brutal finisher.
It also looks good for crowd control, with large sweeping attacks able to damage multiple foes at once.
Hopefully we can expect similar videos for Atsu’s other weapons, like her spear, odachi, and so on.
Strangely this doesn’t appear to be on YouTube, but we’ll swap that in if and when it does appear.
