Sony recently unveiled a new PlayStation 5 game during its State Of Play showcase. This announcement has sparked excitement among Red Dead Redemption fans.

Surprisingly, Red Dead Redemption fans are showing particular enthusiasm for Ghost Of Yōtei, anticipating it to rival Rockstar’s best-known game.

Gene Park, a well-known X user, highlighted the similarities between Ghost Of Yōtei and Red Dead Redemption, especially in the themes and artistic choices.

Park observed that the influences from samurai films, which originally inspired cowboy movies, are now making their way back into video games.

Other fans also shared their thoughts, noting how Ghost Of Yōtei merges elements of the Western genre with Eastern aesthetics, particularly through fashion choices.
