A few weeks after the official release of "Ghost of Mount Yotei", Jason Connell, co-director of developer Sucker Punch Productions, and chief screenwriter Ian Ryan recently accepted an interview and talked about the future destiny of the heroine "Atsushi".Chief screenwriter Ryan made it clear that the game's ending only marks the completion of one chapter of the protagonist's story, and her story is far from over.

Ryan believes that although Du has completed her revenge goal, she still needs to face a new life after losing her brother and assume the responsibility of taking care of her niece."Revenge is in the past, but she's not completely healed. She's learned to look to a future beyond revenge, but it's not going to be easy." He adds that this challenging phase of life is what makes the character so relatable.

Regarding whether there will be follow-up content similar to the Iki Island DLC of "Ghost of Tsushima", co-director Connell said that it will depend on the long-term response of the game.He emphasized that the development team is paying close attention to player feedback: "We are at a critical stage of observing what content in the game resonates. What players like and what aspects of Atsushi they want to know more about will affect our decisions." Connell used "Ghost of Tsushima" as an example, pointing out that players' strong interest in the storyline of protagonist Jin Jingai at that time directly promoted the development of expanded content.

Connell finally said that if there is room to enrich character creation and improve narrative depth, and if it meets the development needs of the studio, the team will seriously consider developing follow-up content."Ghost of Mount Yotei" will be launched on the PS5 platform in early October 2025. As Sucker Punch's latest masterpiece after "Ghost of Tsushima", it is currently continuing to collect feedback from players around the world.
