What if the development of Ghost of Tsushima 2 was about to start on PS5? That's what a number of fans think anyway due to a recent update to the first episode. The report ? In the note that accompanies update 2.18, the developers of Sucker Punch indicate that they are not "actively working on a future patch", thus implying that this patch could probably be the last of Ghost of Tsushima.
The rest of the message seems to go in this direction: "We would like to send a big THANK YOU to the whole community for their unwavering support and their precious help since the launch of the game. When Legends was released, in October 2020, we did not expect that his community is still as active after more than a year and a half. We are infinitely grateful to all those who accompanied us on this journey!"
There is therefore reason to believe that all the living forces will now be devoted to following the adventures of Jin Sakai, even if nothing has yet been formalized. Since its release in 2020 on PS4, Ghost of Tsushima has sold over 8 million copies worldwide. A well-deserved success, the game being a love letter to feudal Japan and samurai films. Graphically imperfect, it has however an artistic direction to fall and a combat system that commands respect. On the content side, the Legends multiplayer mode and the "Iki Island" extension make it possible to prolong the pleasure.
If it believes hard as iron at the start of the development of Ghost of Tsushima 2, it is also because in recent months, Sucker Punch has started to recruit with a vengeance, in particular to hire developers familiar with the genre of the game. open world. In short, while waiting to see more clearly, we remind you that the series will be the subject of a film, and that you can always take a look at our Ghost of Tsushima test.
