With Bethesda's new RPG set to launch this Friday, fans might be wondering: is Ghostwire: Tokyo open world?

Bethesda's latest action-adventure game, Ghostwire: Tokyo, is set to launch in just a few days time on March 25. Despite Bethesda's acquisition by Microsoft, the game is a one year timed exclusive for the PlayStation 5 and Windows PC.

Players assume the role of Akito, a young man possessed by a spirit detective. Through the possession, Akito is granted supernatural powers which he must use to defeat the waves of ghosts and spirits haunting Tokyo.

Those looking to get stuck into the game upon release might be searching for more info, such as whether or not the game is open world. Here's what you need to know.

Is Ghostwire: Tokyo an Open World Game?

Ghostwire: Tokyo is, in a sense, an open world game. It features a sizeable map, though perhaps not as large as some recent RPGs. That being said, the game features fairly open-style levels that allow for exploration and immersion while still keeping things somewhat linear.

Recent games featuring open worlds often run the risk of being too big, featuring an immense amount of items, secrets, and more to uncover. Players can easily drop 200+ hours just seeing all there is to see. Ghostwire: Tokyo appears to be taking a step back, giving players an immersive world on a smaller, more manageable scale.

So, in short, yes - Ghostwire: Tokyo is an open world game. But perhaps not in a way that most players would expect.

Ghostwire: Tokyo launches on March 25 for PlayStation 5 and Windows PC. Check out our guide on how to pre-load the game ahead of its release.
