Among all the elements displayed for the game Ghost of Yōtei by Sucker Punch, the shamisen is undeniably the enigmatic one. During their State of Play exploration, we caught a glimpse of Atsu selecting tunes to play, such as the Song of Vanity and Song of the Wolf, to name a few. In a recent interview with IGN, co-director Jason Connell reveals that this instrument can aid in finding various collectibles, including new outfits for your character.
Atsu’s shamisen, previously owned by her mother, resembles the Traveler’s Attire from “Ghost of Tsushima”. It aids in uncovering nearby content. As Connell put it, “It’s wonderful that the shamisen exists and there are actual songs you can learn within the open world, and these songs can then lead you to specific items.
You’re interested in gathering these tunes as they serve as your guide. For instance, ‘The Song of Vanity’ could direct you towards cosmetics, which are popular among gamers due to the fun of customizing avatars. I’m thrilled about revealing more of this aspect and giving players a chance to apply it!
It’s plausible that the Melody of Tranquility boosts Atsu’s maximum health by guiding him to hot springs, the Melody of Soul enhances max Spirit (instead of Resolve) with Bamboo Strikes, and the Melody of Sanctuaries assists in finding shrines. The Mysterious Melody, however, is particularly intriguing. Does it make the rogue wolf more likely to show up?
It’s yet unknown how Atsu will uncover these tunes, so keep an eye out for more information coming up. The Ghost of Yōtei is set to release on October 2nd for PS5, priced at $69.99. Take a look at Sucker Punch’s insights into the latest weapon-swapping system, and find out that there will be no penalties for continuing to use one type of weapon.
