Was the "Ghost" thing mentioned in the lore of the first game? I feel like I remember that being a 'legend' that Jin took upon himself, but the memory of it being verbalized by other characters is foggy. If so, I can see them doing it again, with more of a specific nod towards Jin, I imagine.

Sixteen years ago in the heart of Ezo (called Hokkaido in present day), a gang of outlaws known as the Yōtei Six took everything from Atsu. They killed her family and left her for dead, pinned to a burning ginkgo tree outside her home. But Atsu survived. She learned to fight, to kill, and to hunt, and after years away she has returned to her home with a list of six names: The Snake, The Oni, The Kitsune, The Spider, The Dragon, and Lord Saito.

One by one, she’s hunting them down to avenge her family, armed with the same katana used to pin her to that burning tree all those years ago. But while Atsu’s story begins with vengeance, she’ll find there’s more to her journey than just revenge. As she explores Ezo, Atsu will meet unlikely allies and forge connections that help give her a new sense of purpose.

The order in which Atsu hunts down the Yōtei Six will be entirely up to the player, and outside of that main quest players can also track other dangerous targets and claim bounties, or seek out weapon sensei to learn new skills.
