How Ghost of Tsushima's Role in Secret Level Could Foreshadow a Sequel

As a dedicated fan who has spent countless hours exploring the breathtaking landscapes and immersing myself in the rich story of Tsushima, I can confidently say that the announcement of “Secret Level” based on Ghost of Tsushima has me more than excited!

Ghost of Tsushima, one of the most acclaimed games in recent years, has sparked anticipation among gamers, as they eagerly await news of a potential sequel. Following its successful launch on PC this year, the fanbase for Ghost of Tsushima has grown even larger, suggesting that a new installment is all but guaranteed.

Despite being on PC, there hasn’t been much new Ghost of Tsushima news or content until recently. This year’s Gamescom was jam-packed with significant announcements, but one of the most intriguing came from Prime Video. On the opening night of Gamescom, Prime Video unveiled Secret Level, a 15-episode anthology series inspired by numerous video games. Among the series lineup is Ghost of Tsushima, and it could offer glimpses into what a future sequel might entail.

Potentially Setting the Stage For a Ghost of Tsushima Sequel

There’s been much anticipation for an official announcement of a Ghost of Tsushima 2, but so far, Sucker Punch and Sony have kept fans waiting to see their dreams materialize. While we might not be getting a direct sequel just yet, the upcoming Secret Level episode could set the stage for future developments in the series. As of now, we’re unsure about the specifics of the storyline that Secret Level‘s Ghost of Tsushima installment will follow. However, it would be unexpected if Jin Sakai’s new story didn’t spark at least a bit of inspiration for a potential sequel.

Of course, there is the very real possibility that Secret Level could just be a one-off thing. There is a diverse list of games being featured in episodes, like God of War and Sifu. It is unlikely that every episode is going to be a teaser for future games, so it’s possible that Secret Level is simply a fun way to explore franchises further in a singular narrative. Between Secret Level and the live action Ghost of Tsushima movie currently in development, the property could just be branching out into other avenues instead of looking towards a sequel. However, the timing of Secret Level‘s release could ultimately be teasing big things ahead.

Secret Level’s Release Date is Timed a Bit Too Perfectly

There have already been a massive number of great gaming events this year. From the various showcases to the huge events, like Gamescom, many developers and titles have had huge stages to make announcements from. However, there is still a major event on the horizon that makes the release date for Secret Level seem highly intentional. Secret Level is set to premiere on Prime Video on December 10, while the 2024 Game Awards go live on December 11.

It’s quite uncommon for a series and an event debut to happen consecutively without some intent behind it. If a sequel to “Ghost of Tsushima” is in development, the timing with the Secret Level and The Game Awards would be ideal for Sucker Punch to officially unveil the news. It’s been four years since the initial release of “Ghost of Tsushima”, so if Sucker Punch plans to continue the story, an announcement sooner rather than later seems more likely.

Ever since the launch of “Ghost of Tsushima”, numerous games set in feudal Japan have followed suit, and Sucker Punch aims to keep surfing this wave they helped create before it eventually subsides. As we eagerly anticipate the arrival of “Ghost of Tsushima 2”, fans are left pondering why Sucker Punch hasn’t yet confirmed its development. However, the upcoming release of “Secret Level” and the Game Awards may soon provide some much-needed clarity regarding a potential new installment in the “Ghost of Tsushima” series.
