Summoning the Spirits: Ghost of Yotei Limited Edition PS5 Collection Preorders Unveiled

The Hardware: Where Ancient Art Meets Modern Gaming

At the heart of this collection are two distinct PS5 Slim bundles, each offering a unique artistic interpretation. Both bundles, priced at $600, include a themed DualSense Controller and a voucher for the standard edition of the Ghost of Yotei game, ensuring you`re ready to dive into the adventure from day one.

The Designs: A Nod to Japanese Craftsmanship

• The Black Edition: Sumi-e Serenity
  The black PS5 Slim bundle and its accompanying DualSense controller feature intricate Sumi-e ink illustrations. This traditional Japanese art form, known for its elegant simplicity and profound depth achieved through varying ink washes, promises a console that looks less like a gadget and more like a carefully brushed masterpiece. It`s an understated elegance, perfectly suiting a stealthy protagonist or a collector with refined taste.
• The Gold Edition: Kintsugi`s Resilience
  In stark contrast, the gold PS5 Slim bundle and DualSense controller draw inspiration from kintsugi – the Japanese art of mending broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. This philosophy celebrates imperfections, treating breakage and repair as part of an object`s history. The gold designs on the console and controller embody this spirit, suggesting a journey of resilience and beauty, fitting for a game steeped in narrative depth and potential conflict.

Beyond the full console bundles, fans can also acquire the exquisite DualSense Controllers separately for $85 each. For those who already own a PS5 Slim or even the rumored PS5 Pro, the stunning Ghost of Yotei Gold Console Covers are available for $65, allowing you to transform your existing console with this limited edition flair.

Exclusivity and Availability: The Collector`s Challenge

As with many coveted limited editions, availability is tiered, adding a layer of strategic planning for those eager to secure their piece of gaming history:

• PlayStation Direct Exclusives:
  • PS5 Slim Black Bundle ($600)
  • DualSense Black Controller ($85)
  • PS5 Slim Gold Console Cover ($65)

  If the elegant Sumi-e black design or the standalone gold console covers catch your eye, be prepared to navigate PlayStation Direct, as these items won`t be found elsewhere. Free shipping and returns are standard, and preorders often arrive promptly on release day.

The Game Itself: Beyond the Console`s Glimmer

While the hardware is undoubtedly a star, it`s the game, Ghost of Yotei, that will ultimately provide the immersive experience. Releasing on the same day as the hardware collection, October 2, the game itself comes in several editions:

• Standard Edition: For $70, you can secure the base game, available in both physical and digital formats.
• Digital Deluxe Edition: At $80, this digital-only version includes a selection of in-game items to enhance your journey.
• Collector’s Edition: The ultimate prize for true enthusiasts, priced at a substantial $250. This PlayStation Direct exclusive is a treasure trove of physical collectibles, including replicas of Atsu’s Ghost Mask, sash, and katana tsuba guard, a foldable origami ginkgo tree, and more. As of September 4, it remains in stock – a rare opportunity for such an extensive collector`s package.

Regardless of which version you choose – be it a console bundle or any edition of the game – all preorders come with a bonus: an exclusive in-game mask and PSN avatars of Atsu and the formidable Yotei Six villains she confronts throughout her quest.
