Preview embargo lifts on Feb 4th

In the center of the game's plot is Akito, who was possessed by the spirit of a demon hunter. Akito uses this to free Tokyo from the evil youkai spirits that have taken over the city. A ghost that has moved into Akito gives him advice, talks about yokai and cheers him up. Akito's enemies include headless schoolgirls with bows and arrows, women with very long arms armed with large scissors, faceless businessmen with umbrellas.

In battle, the main character uses a special technique called Weaving (weaving, weaving). With its help, he inflicts blows on the spirits, parries their attacks and draws the essence from them with a golden thread. Akito will be able to use various elemental attacks, kill spirits with stealth, and use weapons such as archery. The arrows will run out.

There will be boss battles in the game. Damage will not be fixed with numbers and health bars. Instead, the spirits will change appearance: umbrellas will be torn, and so on.

Residents of Tokyo will wander the streets as ghosts. Akito would need to capture them and place them in katashiro paper dolls, then send them out of the city via payphones to restore their human form. You can buy katashiro and replenish other supplies in shops where floating youkai cats trade instead of people.

In general, the Rock, Paper, Shotgun journalist was interested in Ghostwire: Tokyo: the game, in her opinion, looks "cool and very strange, unusual." In spirit, Ghostwire: Tokyo reminded her of 1990s and 2000s action films like Blade.

Looking forward to this to be done so tango can start on Evil within 3 or a new horror ip.

 

[adamsapple]

Announcing a release date just 1 month before the release with little marketing fanfare doesn't exactly inspire a lot of confidence in this ..

 

[tommib]

Have the feeling this is going to be one of the year’s best and at the same time will go completely under the radar.

 

[ProgenitorCastle]

Headless schoolgirls

 

[GymWolf]

Jesus, TOO MANY FUCKING GAMES.

Elex 2
Shadow warrior 3
Weird west
And now this one

If february is heaven for AAA, march is heaven for indies\AA.

 

[adamsapple]

Headless schoolgirls

Just the way I like 'em.

I mean .. wait ..

 

[SilentUser]

Out of nowhere this release date . Sony should have made a SoP last january to announce it (among other things). This game certainly appeals to me, keeping my eyes on it.

 

[Con-Z-epT]

Yes! Gimme those previews!

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Damn, next month. They really need to make a Deathloop and start advertising this everywhere from now on. Looking forward to this.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Expecting about 6 state of plays this month just for this game

 

[nikos]

Hope this ends up being good. Looking forward to previews.

 

[Punished Miku]

I think this will be a cult hit. Looks like an original game. Can't point to anything I've played that looks exactly like this.

 

[GhostOfTsu]

This game looks crazy good but I guess the marketing push is really low compared to Deathloop? What happened?

"From the maker of Resident Evil" should be more hype than Arkane. Day1 for me

 

[Killer8]

Hoping the PC version goes on Game Pass day one. Nothing really stopping it.

 

[elliot5]

It wont be just like deathloop wasnt

 

[Punished Miku]

Hoping the PC version goes on Game Pass day one. Nothing really stopping it.

Zero chance. It'll be the same as Deathloop.

 

[bender]

I'm excited for it but I think I'll just wait for the exclusivity period to expire. Only a year+ to go.

 

[blastprocessor]

Cross gen?

 

[ProgenitorCastle]

I think this will be a cult hit. Looks like an original game. Can't point to anything I've played that looks exactly like this.

Exactly why I'm looking forward to it!

 

[Markio128]

I hope those screenshots aren’t representative of the PS5 version because they look pretty rough to me.

 

[YukiOnna]

Been excited for this since announcement so I really hope it's good. Japanese folklore is always great.

Also, please have Japanese voice over option.

 

[TintoConCasera]

This one could be great, love how it looks.

About the PC version... Will it come out on March the 24th too? And if so... Which storefront? I've been googling but can't find anything.

 

[R6Rider]

The gameplay descriptions are worded oddly, but I've had my eye on this since it was announced and it look interesting.

Not sure if I will get at launch, as I'll probably still be enjoying Elden Ring and GT7.

 

[Dr_Salt]

Shinji Mikami is an action game god so I trust this is gonna have at least some pretty decent combat. Also if I remember correctly one of the battle programmers from Doom worked on this.

 

[Nikana]

Find it odd its getting a release date so soon outta no where. Hopefully its solid.

 

[YukiOnna]

Oh you're right
Ghostwire is primarily an action-adventure game instead of a survival horror game, though the game still retains a couple horror themes and elements. Shinichirō Hara, who worked on the combat of 2016's Doom, joined Tango to help the team craft the game's action-orientated combat. According to him, the game's combat, which was largely inspired by Kuji-kiri and martial arts, enabled the team to "put a lot more movement and personality into the player action as the player's hands are organic extensions of the character".

Microsoft Store and "Xbox Store" are basically synonymous.
Sony doesnt want this game on MS store front.
So its absolutely not going to be on Gamepass until the exclusivity ends.


P.S
Nextgen only?
Gonna need some direct feed shots.
Unreal Engine 4 and not utilizing TAAU well enough?

 

[kyliethicc]

floppy

 

[Honey Bunny]

Fuck yes my weeb senses are tingling

 

[GymWolf]

Just the way I like 'em.

I mean .. wait ..

You repurpose the heads for other things uh, you old dog.

 

[Trunim]

Another last gen looking game but with a 60fps mode for us next gen owners

 

[SLB1904]

the best studio of all Xbox acquisitions. i hope they keep making the evil within

 

[GymWolf]

Hoping the PC version goes on Game Pass day one. Nothing really stopping it.

Wait, this is not a sony exclusive? even better...

 

[NickFire]

That's a really bold release date IMO. Even ignoring February, March has GT, GTA, and early April has MLB I think.

 

[adamsapple]

Wait, this is not a sony exclusive? even better...

It's a Deathloop deal. PS5 and PC at launch.

 

[Banjo64]

Looks so much better than Deathloop.

 

[JaksGhost]

Wait, this is not a sony exclusive? even better...

It has the same deal as Deathloop so it won't be going to Game Pass Day 1.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Looks so much better than Deathloop.

what the fuck does this game have in common with Deathloop?

 

[Lognor]

Wow, that's soon. I need to see an in depth preview of the game. I don't really know what it's about. Sounds like just a few more days to wait for previews though

and I assume that means the game will release on Xbox on March 24, 2023.

 

[Banjo64]

Both Zenimax timed exclusives for the PS5? Apart from that, nothing.

Ah ok so we're posting nonsense gotcha, well uhm Skyrim looks better than this.

Salty boi

 

[DeepSpace5D]

As if the next two months weren’t stacked enough!

This one looks cool, very unique.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Salty boi

I didnt like Deathloop but I do like to call out dumb shit. Nice try tho boi.

 

[Ozriel]

Ah ok so we're posting nonsense gotcha, well uhm Skyrim looks better than this.

YOU are posting nonsense. There's (admittedly tenuous) logic to his comparison of this game to Deathloop.

 

[GymWolf]

It has the same deal as Deathloop so it won't be going to Game Pass Day 1.

No no i was way off, i was convinced that it was made by a sony studio for some strange reason.

 

[The Cockatrice]

YOU are posting nonsense.

 

[Luipadre]

please be good. I loved the evil within but this looks a bit weird but also unique

 

[AmuroChan]

Announcing a release date just 1 month before the release with little marketing fanfare doesn't exactly inspire a lot of confidence in this ..

It certainly does not. Hopefully it's not because the game isn't good. Maybe Sony just feels there's no reason to waste money on marketing this game at this point. And obviously Microsoft won't market the game until the exclusivity lapses and it goes on GP.
