Historical Context

"Ghost of Yotei," a sequel to "Ghost of Tsushima," is set in Hokkaido during Japan's Edo period, echoing the historical significance of the region. The Edo period (1603-1868) was marked by peace under Tokugawa rule, yet it also bred social unrest and banditry. This backdrop mirrors the game's themes of vengeance and justice, reminiscent of legendary figures like Ishikawa Goemon, a notorious outlaw who challenged authority in feudal Japan.
