Ghostwire: Tokyo is one of our most anticipated March 2022 game releases, and something we were definitely impressed by during a recent preview session. Coming from Bethesda and Tango Gameworks (The Evil Within) it's headed to PC and PlayStation later this month, and there's a cool Ghostwire: Tokyo – Prelude in the form of a visual novel you can check out now.

Ghostwire: Tokyo – Prelude is a free visual novel adventure available today on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 systems. The story of Prelude focuses on KK, a wisened detective investigating mysterious phenomenon set roughly six months right before the events of Ghostwire: Tokyo. Following a lead on a missing friend, KK and his fellow investigators stumble upon what can only be described as urban legends coming to life…

“By having people experience and enjoy the events that occurred before the events in [Ghostwire: Tokyo] through a different genre made by a different team, it could help open up and widen people’s interpretations of the world and universe we’ve created,” says Game Director Kenji Kimura.

“There’s a different, kind of more relaxed atmosphere in the visual novel,” says Scenario Writer Takahiro Kaji. “KK is a veteran, accustomed to the situation, working within his realm of expertise and there’s good teamwork with Rinko’s group. By understanding KK a little better through [Ghostwire: Tokyo – Prelude], the player would be able to gain more perspective and see another side to KK’s dialogue in [Ghostwire: Tokyo].”

Ghostwire: Tokyo – Prelude is available now for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 via the PlayStation Store. It's set to hit PC next week.
