Summary
Ghost of Tsushima 2is in development, a prominent insider has said. The claim offers some reassurance to fans growing concerned about whether aGhost of Tsushimasequel will ever happen.
Rumors of a follow-up to Sucker Punch Productions' hit feudal Japan-era game have been circulating the industry for years. Aside from the occasional insider report, sequel speculation has also been fueled by Sucker Punch’s job market activity, with several openings at the company previously hinting that theGhost of Tsushimadeveloper has long been working on another open-world game.
The title in question may indeed beGhost of Tsushima 2, as suggested by a recent scoop from entertainment industry insider Daniel “DanielRPK” Richtman. In an early June post shared onPatreon, Richtman wrote that “aGhost of Tsushimasequel is in the works,” without offering any more details on the matter. While all rumors of this sort warrant a degree of skepticism, the source of this particular claim does have a long track record of verified insights. Even so,Richtman largely owes his reputation to credible TV and movie leaks, and has only started consistently sharing gaming-related scoops somewhat recently.
Ghost of Tsushima 2 Unlikely To Release Before Late 2025 at the Very Earliest
But his latest claim is far from unprecedented, and dovetails with a number of previously emerged insights into Sucker Punch Productions' agenda. The latest such tidbit of info surfaced online in mid-May 2024, when Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier also said thatGhost of Tsushima 2is in the works whiledispelling a rumor about a newSly Coopergame being on the cards. The same move saw Schreier characterize Sucker Punch as “a one-project studio,” in addition to noting that the company is smaller than most contemporary AAA developers, all in an effort to explain whyGhost of Tsushima 2hasn’t been announced just yet.
With triple-A titles regularly taking at least five years to reach the finish line nowadays, and assuming the work onGhost of Tsushima 2started around the time its predecessor hit the market, the new Sucker Punch game appears unlikely to debut before late 2025, at the very earliest. In the meantime, Sony is continuing the production of theGhost of Tsushimamovie adaptation, which was officially announced in March 2021, with Chad Stahelski ofJohn Wickfame attached to the project in a director capacity.
Richtman recently even shared some insights about that undertaking, claiming thatShogunalumni Hiroyuki Sanada is being considered for a role in theGhost of Tsushimafilm. Sony has yet to commit to a concrete release window for the upcoming movie.
