Who Is Atsu, Ghost Of Yotei’s Protagonist?

After years of waiting for any news on a Ghost of Tsushima 2, Ghost of Yotei has dropped for everyone. While we were expecting Jin Sakai to return in the sequel, Sucker Punch has completely surprised everyone with a new protagonist. It is indeed sad to learn that Jin’s story is over. However, the introduction of Atsu, as a new ‘Ghost’ has captured eyes everywhere. So, if you are curious about this new character, learn more about the main protagonist of Ghost of Yotei here.

Atsu: The New Ghost in Town

It’s official that Jin Sakai will be passing the baton to Atsu, the brand new lead of Ghost of Yotei. The developers have noted that they have held on to the “Ghost” theme and continue to tell the tale of a new legendary ghost in Feudal Japan. That is why we are getting the Ghost of Yotei instead of a Ghost of Tsushima 2.

At Sucker Punch, we love origin stories, and we wanted to explore what it could mean to have a new hero wearing a Ghost mask and uncovering a new legend.

At this moment, we don’t know much about the new female protagonist of GOY. However, in an interview with the New York Times, the developers remarked that this game will focus on the tale of an underdog vengeance.

Thus, we can expect Atsu to be a less powerful character who seeks retribution at first. As the story progresses, we will need to master the art of combat to become the next Ghost in town. In addition to wielding a Katana, Atsu was also seen having a shamisen (Japanese musical instrument) on her back and a pet wolf by her side.

Who Plays Atsu in Ghost of Yotei?

For those who are wondering who plays Atsu in Ghost of Yotei, Sucker Punch has already revealed the cast. Apex Legends fans might have instantly recognized Erika Ishii from their role as Valkyrie in the game. Erika has worked in numerous movies, TV Shows, and videogames and now they had the ultimate chance to become the main character of Ghost of Yotei.

Erika has also expressed their gratitude for this opportunity to work with the Sucker Punch Team and bring life to Atsu in the upcoming Ghost of Tsushima sequel. The devs have mentioned that the trailer is just a glimpse and we will learn more about Atsu’s character and her journey in the upcoming announcements.
