There are still several weeks left until Ghostwire: Toyko comes out, but its new visual novel prequel is available now on PlayStation consoles.
Ghostwire: Tokyo – Prelude is a free-to-play title that follows KK, a hard-nosed detective looking into bizarre incidents throughout Tokyo. Prelude takes place six months before the events of Ghostwire: Toyko, so there’s probably lots of backstory in the visual novel that strengthens the main game’s narrative.
Director Kenji Kimura is excited about fans getting into the world of Ghostwire: Toyko this soon.
“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,” Kimura said on the PlayStation Blog.
Join KK and his team of supernatural detectives in Ghostwire: Tokyo – Prelude, a FREE visual novel adventure available today on PS4 & PS5, and on PC March 8.

“There’s a different, kind of more relaxed atmosphere in the visual novel,” Takahiro Kaji, scenario writer Ghostwire: Tokyo, explains via the PlayStation Blog. “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 out on PS4 and PS5 right now, with a PC version dropping on March 8, 2022.
