New Ghostwire: Tokyo trailer debuts antagonist ahead of its spring 2022 release

Ghostwire: Tokyo is the next game that Tango Gameworks is working on after the release of 2017's The Evil Within 2. However, unlike Mikami's latest pair of survival horror titles, Ghostwire: Tokyo is more of an action-adventure game with Kenji Kimura's directorial debut.

Of course, as you might have now learned from the game's latest trailer (linked above), Ghostwire: Tokyo isn't just about to throw away what its founder is best known for. The dark figure will chill you to your bones as he continues with his speech, saying "People always decry the truth when forced to face it.". He then proceeds to end his statement by declaring that, "A new world will dawn!

In addition to what appears to be the game's main antagonist, Ghostwire: Tokyo will include more horror elements as well. Judging from the trailer, players will face off against a fair few nightmare-inducing creatures while in control of a protagonist who loses his face the more he fights. It also appears that the villain is taking a certain girl hostage and using her to taunt the protagonist.

With that said, only time will tell what everything that we just saw from the trailer could all mean.

For those who are unaware, Ghostwire: Tokyo was supposed to be one of the big PS5 exclusives to release this year. However, the game was later delayed to 2022 with the developers explaining that this was necessary to "protect the health of everyone" working at the studio.

So far, plot details about Ghostwire: Tokyo remain thin. All we know is that the protagonist has supernatural powers. He must use them to try and uncover the mysterious disappearance behind the vanishing of the people living in Tokyo, all the while fighting off spiritual creatures inspired by Japanese folklore.
