2025 has been the year of sequels in gaming, and Sucker Punch Productions has returned with Ghost of Yotei, the most anticipated sequel to their iconic title Ghost of Tsushima. In this new chapter, players start their journey as Atsu to explore Northern Japan during the Edo period, seeking vengeance against the Yotei Six. If you have just started your vengeful journey and are wondering how long it takes to complete Atsu’s retaliation mission, find the answer here.
How Long Is Ghost of Yotei?
Ghost of Yotei isn’t a direct sequel to GOT; instead, it’s a spiritual follow-up in the Ghost franchise. Atsu is on the hunt to kill every last member of the Yotei Six in the Northern lands of Japan surrounding Mount Yotei. The most interesting feature is that you are free to pursue the Yotei Six members in any order you wish.
Set in a sprawling open world, players are offered the freedom to explore at their own pace. We prioritized finishing the main story first and then tackled as many side quests to discover all the secrets and duels tucked away across the Ezo region.
Based on our playthrough, here is an overview of how long it will take you to beat Ghost of Yotei on different playthroughs:
| Story Type | Time to Beat |
|---|---|
| Main Story | 20-25 hours |
| Main Story + Side Missions | 40-50 hours |
| Completionist Run | 60-70 hours |
In line with its predecessor, it will take an average of 20-25 hours to beat Ghost of Yotei if only the story is your utmost priority. For gamers who like to complete side missions along with the main story, it will take up to 40-50 hours to reach the finish line.
And lastly, players who are eagerly hunting a platinum trophy, akin to Atsu hunting the Yotei Six, gear up to grind at least 60-70 hours to clinch the platinum trophy for Ghost of Yotei. At Gamescom 2025, Sucker Punch announced that the legends multiplayer mode will be making a return in Ghost of Yotei. So, players can look forward to spending even more time in the lands of Ezo with their friends.
We have to wait to find out if the sequel, Ghost of Yotei, will receive a DLC in the same vein as its predecessor later on. Ghost of Yotei is priced at $69.99 and offers a slightly longer playtime than Ghost of Tsushima. With that said, let us know which kind of playthrough you are opting for in the comments below.
