Ghost of Tsushima 2 Rumors and Speculation

Ghost of Tsushima 2 After four years since the release of Ghost of Tsushima, fans have been eagerly waiting for a sequel. The samurai action-adventure was a hit by almost every metric, becoming one of PS4’s best selling games to date. Its depiction of samurai values, such as honor and duty resonated with players. Its success positioned the game for future expansions, and even a potential movie adaption.

The last update on the game came in 2021 and their Iki Island DLC, but Sucker Punch Productions did not confirm a sequel was in development at that time. However, job listings from the second half of that year seemed to indicate the studio was indeed working on a follow-up. Since then, rumors and speculation have swirled about the possibility of a Ghost of Tsushima 2 and when it might be released.

Rumors have suggested that the sequel will be set during the second Mongol invasion of Japan and continue Jin Sakai’s journey as a samurai. The narrative is expected to expand beyond Tsushima Island and into mainland Japan, incorporating new locations and historic events like the Mongol invasion in an intricate story. Moreover, the game is expected to feature an improved stealth mechanic, allowing players to sneak into enemy bases and take out their foes one by one.

There are also rumors that the sequel will include a lower intensity mode for combat and other gameplay features, which could be a good way to appeal to players with accessibility needs. This mode will retain the heart of the game’s combat but relaxes several timing-specific elements, giving players more time to react to enemies.

In addition to expanding upon the story and exploring new locations, the rumors also suggest that the sequel will introduce a more robust emote system for the player to utilize during battles and other events in the game. The emote system in the original game was limited and didn’t allow for a variety of facial expressions, but some fans hope the sequel will address this.

While many fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of ghost of tsushima 2, there are some who believe that the sequel might not be out this or the next year. This is due to the fact that there are multiple major titles releasing this year, including Rise of the Ronin, and Assassin’s Creed: Codename Red. As such, some industry experts believe that PlayStation and Sucker Punch Productions may choose to delay a Ghost of Tsushima sequel until 2025.

Considering how popular the game was at launch, it would make sense for them to hold off on a reveal until it’s more clear what they have in store. Whether this will happen during Summer Game Fest or a PlayStation Showcase event remains to be seen.

Regardless of how long it takes to get a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, it’s sure to be worth the wait. It’s an excellent game that showcases the power of the PS5 and tells a compelling narrative about honor and duty in Feudal Japan. Hopefully, the developers can deliver an equally compelling experience in the next entry in the franchise.
