Ghost of Tsushima
Haunted house of the rising sun
We all love Infamous here, but we’ve been anxious to see
what talented studio Sucker Punch Productions can cook
up for us in the way of new IP. Boy, the studio has not
disappointed. Ghost Of Tsushima made a splash at Paris
Games Week with a stunning announcement trailer,
depicting the struggles of a samurai fighting the Mongol
hordes in 13th-century feudal Japan.
Based on the real-life invasion of the island halfway between Japan and
Korea, and inspired by a wealth of stories and films about the Japanese
warriors, Ghost nails the intense dramatic style of the samurai adventure
genre. We haven’t seen much in the way of gameplay yet, but based on
snippets of footage, the way a ninja-style outfit replaces the main character’s
intricate armour, and the whole ’Ghost’ thing, it looks to be an open-world
stealth-action experience. (Though could that armour change hint at a Delsin
Rowe-style evolution according to your playstyle?) If the game itself is
anything like the epic announce trailer, we’re in for something special.
There’s no word yet of a release date, and based on the limited amount of
footage released so far the game is still early in development, but we’re
hoping for a late 2018 release. Let’s not rush them, for if you only think of
yourself, you’ll only destroy yourself…
