Ghost of Yōtei DESTROYED on Twitter: Fans REJECT Sony's Woke Disaster!

The highly anticipated Ghost of Yōtei is now available for wishlist, but Sony is facing intense backlash over their tweet promoting the game. Fans are outraged, calling out the DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) agenda behind it, with the casting of Erika Ishii as the lead actress being a major point of contention. Ishii, known for her activism, has drawn criticism from gamers tired of what they see as "woke" narratives taking over beloved franchises.

Originally intended to be Ghost of Tsushima 2, Ghost of Yōtei has stirred even more controversy with its recent delay into 2026. The drastic shift in focus from Jin Sakai’s story to a new protagonist has left many fans disappointed, accusing the developers of pandering to a woke agenda. The game's lead, voiced by Erika Ishii, has been at the center of the backlash, with her preemptively blocking gamers on social media adding fuel to the fire.

Fans are expressing fatigue over the perceived overemphasis on politics in gaming, and this game seems to be a prime example of that frustration. The initial excitement surrounding a Ghost of Tsushima sequel has quickly soured, with many predicting Ghost of Yōtei is set to fail due to these divisive elements.

Sony's decision to abandon a true sequel in favor of this woke narrative has triggered widespread criticism, with fans calling for a return to the roots of the franchise. As this controversy grows, the question remains: will Ghost of Yōtei be another victim of the backlash against wokeness, or will it manage to overcome the storm?
