The discussion surrounding review codes and embargoes is an interesting one, with the lack of early reviews typically suggesting that the game might be coming in a bit hot. On the flip side, when publishers are confident in their title, reviewers are often given far more time to check the game out ahead of its official arrival. The upcoming Ghost of Yotei seems to be part of the latter – with critics confirming that reviews for the highly-anticipated sequel will go live far ahead of the game’s launch.
A shared by multiple video game pundits/reviewers, the embargo for Sucker Punch Productions’ Ghost of Yotei will be lifted on the 25th of September at 6am PT (2pm UK time).
This means that all those looking forward to the upcoming open-world title will be able to get the full low-down on how good Yotei is exactly with a week to spare before its initial release on the 2nd of October – giving you the opportunity to cancel your pre-order if necessary (or the opposite assuming the reviews are positive.)
As mentioned (though not always the case as evidenced by Hollow Knight Silksong’s release), having an early review embargo typically means that the publisher is feeling confident in the quality of their game.
In addition, with Ghost of Tsuhsima being a known quantity by now, negative reviews for the sequel are likely to hinder sales more so than positive reviews helping it – suggesting that Sony is likely expecting a major hit on their hands.
KitGuru says: What do you think of the embargo timing? Will Ghost of Yotei surpass its predecessor? Could the sequel manage to reach the elusive 90+ score on Metacritic / OpenCritic? Let us know your thoughts down below.
