- Ghostwire Tokyo is one of my favorite Bethesda-published games, and now, it's cheaper than ever - 1 April 2026
I'm a sucker for great atmosphere, and Ghostwire: Tokyo is a brilliant example of how to nail it. Set in modern-day Tokyo, but crowded with creatures from Japanese folklore, the darkness of the night allows every step through the typically busy streets to feel tense and uneasy. It's an action-adventure title injected with some of the best horror game elements, making it accessible for those who don't like franchises like Silent Hill or Resident Evil - and that's exactly why you should give it a try, now that it's cheaper than ever.

- Get Ghostwire Tokyo, alongside various JRPGs and anime games, for $7 each - 10 March 2025
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Ghostwire: Tokyo is one of Bethesda's most overlooked RPGs. Its gorgeous surrealist reimagining of modern-day Tokyo and fluid, magic-based combat system keeps me coming back at least once a year, even although I've played it at least three times already. If you've missed it when it's been free on Epic or discounted on Steam, this new Fanatical deal means you can pick it up for just $7 when bundled alongside various top-tier JRPGs and anime games, with another one of my all-time favorites up for grabs, too.

- Ghostwire Tokyo is currently a free PC game, and it's one you don't want to miss - 1 November 2024
I'm often told that I go to bat over 'bad' games. I maintain that Forspoken wasn't awful, Dragon Age 2 is better than Inquisition, and that Redfall had some great ideas, but just failed to stick the landing. Ghostwire: Tokyo is another 7/10 game that I maintain is a must-play, and it's probably my favorite of Tango Gameworks' catalog. Set in a surrealist, neo-dystopian Tokyo, it's absolutely gorgeous, and includes floating cats and adorable, talking Shiba Inu. What isn't to love? Read the rest of the story...

Ghostwire Tokyo gets a bad rap. This supernatural thriller is a bizarre magical FPS filled with all manner of weird and wonderful creatures, tasking you with uncovering the truth behind a vanished city. It might not be the traditional survival horror we expected from Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami's Tango Gameworks, especially following The Evil Within games, but you shouldn't pass up the opportunity to try Ghostwire Tokyo for free.

- Ghostwire: Tokyo – Photo Mode Update - 10 October 2022
October is the spookiest month of the year, and in Japan it’s also known as “kan-na-zuki” – the month of no gods. Legend says it got that name because during this month, the gods traveled to a location far from Tokyo for a meeting. So, it’s only fitting that this month, Tango’s spooky action adventure gets its biggest content update yet! Since launch, players have taken incredible screenshots with Ghostwire: Tokyo’s Photo Mode. We’ve loved seeing your skills, passion, and creativity; and in this update, we want to give you even more tools to capture great pictures in-game.

Obon traditions vary throughout Japan, but the most common are holding summer festivals in school yards or parks, with everyone dancing the Bon Odori together to welcome the spirits of their ancestors. In some areas, an event called “Toro-nagashi” is also held, in which lanterns are floated down a river or into the sea to mourn the souls of the departed. Are…
- Ghostwire: Tokyo Tanabata Update - 29 June 2022
This Ghostwire: Tokyo update focuses on Tanabata (七夕), or “Star Festival,” a traditional Japanese festival where people write their wishes on colorful strips of paper, called tanzaku, and hang them from bamboo branches in the hopes that they’ll come true.
