Ghost of Yōtei Unveils New Gameplay Featuring a Brutal Kusarigama Weapon

Sony’s upcoming blockbuster, Ghost of Yōtei, is capturing global attention. Following its highly anticipated reveal during the latest State of Play, a fresh gameplay trailer has surfaced—showcasing the fierce Kusarigama weapon wielded by the protagonist, Atsu. Though the original source was swiftly removed, gaming communities quickly preserved and shared the footage, giving fans an unfiltered look at the weapon’s spectacular power.

A Deadly Weapon Reimagined

The latest trailer centers entirely on the Kusarigama a small sickle affixed to a long chain. It allows Atsu to strike enemies from a distance, reel them in, and finish them with savage precision. The weapon even includes a sweeping attack, perfect for managing groups of foes when surrounded.

Polish and Promise

Despite being brief, the trailer delivers breathtaking visuals: fluid animation, dynamic movement, and impactful attack effects all hallmarks of the high quality fans expect from a Sony big-budget title. Speculation is already brewing that future footage may spotlight other weapons in Atsu’s arsenal, such as a spear, the massive Odachi sword, and even some secretive weapons yet to be revealed.

Sony continues to set a high bar with Ghost of Yōtei. The Kusarigama teaser not only teases visceral, high-speed combat but also hints at a layered, weapon-driven combat system one that could offer rich strategy and raw spectacle in equal measure. If the rest of the game matches this level of polish and creativity, it could redefine expectations for story-driven action games on the PS5.
