Ghost of Yōtei’s Murals Hide Sucker Punch Easter Eggs — Spot Sly, Infamous and a Rocket Robot Surprise

Ghost of Yōtei’s world is full of small, deliberate nods to Sucker Punch’s past work. As players wander Ezo, they’ve been spotting murals, kit names and cosmetics that reference older Sucker Punch games — and the community is cataloging them fast.

1. Sly Cooper and Rocket: Robot on Wheels
2. Infamous callbacks and in-game gear
3. Where players are finding Easter eggs

Sly Cooper and Rocket: Robot on Wheels

One of the clearest Easter eggs is a mural that calls back to the Sly Cooper series. Sucker Punch developed three Sly Cooper games between 2002 and 2005 before moving on to Infamous, and players have identified a mural that looks like Sly’s signature style. It’s easy to spot if you know the art — and some players have even found cosmetics themed to Sly Cooper in the game.

Separately, there’s a more obscure mural showing a man in red and purple riding a wheel. That image references Rocket: Robot on Wheels, Sucker Punch’s first title from 1999 and the studio’s only game on a non-Sony platform. For context, the studio later signed a publishing deal with Sony for Sly Cooper and was eventually acquired by Sony in the early 2010s. Players first pointed out the wheel mural in a Reddit thread, which you can see on this Reddit post.

Infamous callbacks and in-game gear

In addition to Sly Cooper references, Ghost of Yōtei contains nods to the Infamous series. There’s a large mural that appears to reference the beast encounter from Infamous 2, and the game also includes a Katana kit named Infamous Strike. Moreover, players have found cosmetic items that are clearly modeled after Sly Cooper and other Sucker Punch properties.

Community screenshots and discussion about the Infamous-like mural are collected on the game’s subreddit; one thread that highlights the beast-battle mural is available at this Reddit thread. Likewise, players sharing the Sly-themed cosmetics posted them in another subreddit thread.

Where players are finding Easter eggs

The references are mostly on murals near shrines or inside buildings, and they’re being posted by players as they explore. For example, Ghost of Tsushima — Sucker Punch’s 2020 title — included similar murals, and some of the Yōtei art echoes that approach. For more on Tsushima’s prior Easter eggs, there’s an article at this Gamespot piece, and a community post showing a confusing Tsushima mural is available on that subreddit.

Outside of Sucker Punch callbacks, players have also noticed a reference that seems to point toward Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin on the Ghost of Yōtei map; community discussion about that connection is on this Reddit post. Finally, because Ghost of Yōtei’s map is roughly comparable in size to the first Ghost of Tsushima, there’s plenty of ground where more Easter eggs could appear as people continue to explore.
