Tango Gameworks, the studio behind The Evil Within, is ready to show everyone what Ghostwire: Tokyo is about ahead of its release next month. On Thursday, we got an extended look at this cool, stylish cyberpunk-esque game.
In the showcase, we got our best look at exactly what kind of game Ghostwire: Tokyo is going to be. For the longest time, we’ve known that the game is a supernatural first-person action game, but what hasn’t been entirely clear is how the player character got their powers, what those would be or how the world got so screwed up. Now we’ve at least got some answers.
Be sure to check out Ghostwire: Tokyo’s extended gameplay reveal for yourself below.
After most of the population of Tokyo mysteriously disappears, the player character wakes up with powers and a spirit inhabiting their body. The 15-minute long video shows off more of the creepy supernatural monsters they’ll be fighting, as well as some of the elemental abilities and mystical tools they can use, including the element of fire and electrifying talisman traps. The showcase also teased some of the objectives players will find, like corrupted Torii gates and the ability to zip onto rooftops through the use of demons known as “tengu yokai.”
The team says that there will be much more to show of the game in the future and we’re rapidly approaching Ghostwire: Tokyo’s Mar. 25 launch, when it will release on PS4 and PS5 for a year-long console exclusivity window — though it’ll be on PC as well. Bethesda, the publisher behind the game, now owned by Microsoft, and is honoring agreements made before the acquisition to a point before then presumably releasing Ghostwire: Tokyo and last year’s Deathloop (another timed PlayStation exclusive) on Xbox.
