As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I must say, the announcement of Ghost of Yotei by Sucker Punch has me genuinely excited! After the captivating world and story of Ghost of Tsushima, I eagerly await to explore the northern reaches of Hokkaido Japan in this new adventure.
The movie “Sucker Punch” signals that the “Ghost of Yotei” series is now a fully-fledged franchise and reveals additional plans for related spin-offs. Previously recognized for games such as “Sly Cooper” and “inFamous”, the studio based in Washington State has been thriving recently, largely due to their recent release, “Ghost of Tsushima”.
I was initially thrilled when the game first debuted on the PS4, but my excitement soared even higher when it was unveiled for both PC and PS5 in the Director’s Cut version. However, the recent buzz has been all about the studio, who have announced an intriguing new PS5 title called “Ghost of Yokei”. Unlike the ongoing story of Jin Sakai, this fresh installment from Sucker Punch takes us 300 years ahead to 1603, where a new protagonist named Atsu embarks on an adventure through the Hokkaido region of Japan. Though the plot details are scarce at present, a recent interview seems to hint at grand plans for the franchise’s future.
In an interview with The New York Times, Sucker Punch’s Nate Fox and Jason Connell discussed their latest project, Ghost of Yokei. Although some fans might be taken aback by the shift from protagonist Jin Sakai in a new Ghost game, the studio is focusing on the fundamental aspects of Ghost of Tsushima. In essence, Ghost of Yokei will preserve its character as a roaming warrior, offering freedom to traverse and appreciate the world’s splendor. Similar to their approach with Ghost of Tsushima, developers visited Mount Yotei and Shiretoko National Park to gather sounds and draw inspiration from the landscape for the upcoming game.
Ghost of Yotei Marks a Big Change for the Franchise and Its Future
Following the unveiling of “Ghost of Yotei”, Sucker Punch has made it clear that the triumphs of “Ghost of Tsushima” are not confined to a single game, but have expanded into a comprehensive franchise. The interview hints that “Ghost of Yotei” is poised to launch a new Sony franchise, encompassing elements like a movie and various side projects. Essentially, Sony aims for this series to one day join the ranks of other prominent PlayStation franchises such as “God of War”.
In fact, fans have likely already been made aware of a few of these spin-off projects through announcements and teases. Currently, a Ghost of Tsushima movie adaptation is in development with John Wick filmmaker Chad Stahelski signed on to direct. While the Sony Pictures production appears to still be a ways off, Amazon Prime animated anthology Secret Level is set to release a Ghost of Tsushima themed episode as one of its 15 planned episodes when it arrives in December.
