PS5 Ghost of Yōtei Limited Edition Console Designs – PlayStation Blog

Alright, so here’s the lowdown—just got a glimpse, right? The new PS5 bundle for Ghost of Yōtei. It’s all flashy and decked out, like, seriously. If you’re not into game designs, you might not care, but stay with me. They’ve slapped an intricate design on the console and a matching controller, and I gotta say, it’s got that je ne sais quoi. You know, a vibe.

Anyway, this whole setup is a tribute—kinda grandiose if you ask me, but hey, they’re calling it a nod to Ezo or, as we non-history buffs call it, Hokkaido. Atsu’s story plays into this—it’s a tale of vengeance, like every good story should be. Oh, and Mt. Yōtei? Yep, it’s there. I mean, why not? They tell you it’s a symbol or whatever, so there you have it. Japanese visual traditions and whatnot—fascinating stuff, really.

The console’s got these PlayStation-themed engravings too. Kinda makes it feel exclusive, if that’s your jam. Oh, and here’s a kicker—they have this gold edition inspired by kintsugi. Google it if you don’t know. It’s about beauty in imperfections or something, which is deep, I guess, like philosophers deep.

Now, it’s not just random—there’s actually a theme running through, I swear. Atsu’s journey, healing, resilience—you get the picture. And I think it ties into the artistic vibe from the game because that’s what Sucker Punch was going for, apparently. The mountain, the icons—everything’s got a little story.

The bundle comes with a DualSense controller that’s got Atsu’s silhouette on it. Neat, right? Sucker Punch seems super proud of this collab with Sony. It’s art, really, or so they say. They wanted that exploration theme, with hand-drawn maps and all. Jason Connell, some creative director guy, mentions this heavy impact from Sumi-e art—and I’m all here for it. Art geeks must be having a field day.

Oh, and before I forget—a digital copy of the game comes with the console. Extras like in-game masks and avatars for the hardcore fans. I mean, it’s nice to get that little bonus. Makes you feel like you’re part of an exclusive club or something.

Now, for those of you with a PS5 already, no biggie. They’ve got covers for your consoles too—PS5 (slim) and Pro. Limited edition and limited quantities, because everyone loves limited things, right?

And lastly, pre-orders? Not yet. But they’ll let you know when. Meanwhile, mark October 2nd because that’s when it all drops—bundles, controllers, covers. That’s the scoop. Can’t wait to see if this thing lives up to all the hype. Fingers crossed, I guess.
