Ghost of Tsushima Should Be the Beginning of a New Anthology Series for Sucker Punch

Ghost of Tsushima could be a great template for telling different stories across different settings under a single umbrella.

[-Foxtrot]

I don't know how it ends as I haven't finished but for a sequel I'd like them to go to China somewhere and introduce Ninjas, would help them improve the stealth "ghost" mechanics

Ghost of Beijing

Run along that Great Wall

To be fair, you could see Jinn travel around a lot so we could have any setting really.

[RaveTears]

I would love a sequel where Jin go to Japan. He getting hunt by every Samurai for breaking tradition, honor and becoming the Ghost of Tsushima. Meanwhile trying to fight for the weak and liberate the people from horrible Lords and Samurai.

[Sonic-and-Crash]

SP worked a lot to nail that Samurai/Ninja role with historical accuracy but also with fun/playable mechanics that work very precicely in the world

tbh i would like SP either to explore new historical invasion in other worlds ( spartans/athenians and persian invasion in Greece for example) with the same attention to historic detaiL and quality in combat mechanics (not like the trashy AC:O) either to continue Jin Sakai story in mainland Japan where he will travel to Iga /koga villages ( the most known ninja villages in japan) to tcreate ninja schools

[cesar4]

I don’t know if them making a game where Jin just goes around slaughtering Japanese people is the way to go, especially Samurai.

[house]

onin war would be an amazing setting. very few media has touched it,

[Christopher]

***a game where Jin just goes around slaughtering Japanese people ***

Bandits? Okay. Act 2 groups? Also okay.

RavenTears didn't say slaughter Japanese people, but obviously those who are hurting the people he tries his best to protect. And, he already does some of that in the first game. And, honestly, finish the game if you haven't.

[meganick]

I think mainland Japan would be the best locale choice for a sequel.

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

Not only is "Jin" going to China a horrible idea, it's also historically inaccurate. Japan's feudal period has plenty of backdrops to use to continue the story of Jin's journey.

[Christopher]

Gotta admit, one of your worst ideas. Makes no sense.

Finish the game, it's pretty clear what the sequel will be about. Also, please take the Honor choice at the end. It's not about you, it's about the victim.

[LOGICWINS]

That's cool...but I want an Infamous Cole reboot first. That has to be completely remade for the PS5. Imagine how good New Marias would look!

[toxic-inferno]

The inFamous series really deserves another entry. It just completely fizzled out.

Its not my most-desired PlayStation return (that would be Jak and Daxter). But at least Jak and Daxter got an "end", whereas inFamous never really felt finished.

[Hakuoro]

I'm sure there will be more games. It doesn't even have to be the same character there are hundreds of Japanese historical and folklore heroes they can draw upon.

[Christopher]

It's pretty well set up for a sequel at least. The question is if it would necessarily be Jin. 1333 is a big year in changes in Japan, so Jin would be in his 60s by then. They might just fudge timelines to make it happen, though. Perhaps they'll go with starting the early elements of the change and go with 1333 in the third game with a new Ghost.

[ShadowWolf712]

The Ghost being a key weapon in ending the Kamakura Shogunate would be somewhat poetic.

[FlavorLav01]

Just because Sony makes a better Assassins Creed game than Ubisoft, let’s not go cornering a great studio like SuckerPunch into making only one genre of game. They’ve proven themselves capable of managing existing and new IPs. I say let them do whatever AAA project inspires them most, sit back and enjoy...

[cesar4]

Why, they have a popular formula. I’m not saying only make this series forever but they should absolutely make another game or two if they keep selling. If they can strike gold they can increase their studio and produce more games.

I imagine making a second game will still be fun don’t push it to burnout but I have to imagine they are on high for Ghost of Tsushima 2.

[FlavorLav01]

Would you ask Tony Hawk to perform 2 900s in a row, or ask to see a 900 and whatever else he’s been working on? I want to see the new sh$t. That’s exactly what was wrong with Assassin’s Creed, same game, small changes, and a new skin(city) every game. I hope to see SP’ passion to create fun games guide them, rather than “popular formulas”.

[Morbid Bulldozer]

Not really better, though. Several AC games are rated higher.

[FlavorLav01]

Undeservingly, AC has always been a better parkour tour of ancient cities than an actual game. Their stories suck and are unfollowable to most casual players, and the combat has never really felt polished. But you’re right, for some reason some AC games have scored higher. Smh

[RememberThe357]

Yeah but they're not necessarily actually better games.

[Morbid Bulldozer]

According to the only semi-objective metrics, yes, they are. Which means that making more AC clones like GoTsu is pointless, there is a tired old series in place that does the same thing, only better.

[Ready4nxtgen]

Add cool. And coop mission ratings. So for people who cant play stealth wise, you know not to team up with them🤣. It would be kind of how Splinter cell coop.use to work

[Christopher]

Adding any form of MP to the game, IMHO, would detract from the SP experience. I'd say no to co-op. A feature very rarely utilized in games by Ubisoft that add them as it is.

[cesar4]

I dunno, I’m pretty against shoehorned multiplayer. If you’re going to make a coop game do it from the ground up.

[GoodGuy09]

Ugh please no multiplayer. Online elements like seeing people's photo mode shots in a location would be cool though similar to how gravity rush 2 did it.

[jdaboss]

well there were two separate invasions of Tsushima so there will at least be a sequel.

[lsujester]

Unless they moved into other parts of the invasion like Iki and mainland Japan, you'd end up with the same background story in Tsushima. The Mongols rolled the island pretty well both times, so I'd be afraid the game would basically end up as a rehash, which can be a death bell for a single player series.

[ShadowWolf712]

What? Fam the second time they didn't even gain a foothold on the island, Tsushima utterly repulsed their invasion force. Then a sudden storm blew in and destroyed most of their fleet; the Kamikaze. Sacred Wind.

Mongols got mopped in Part 2.

[wenaldy]

Ghost of Sekigahara.

[TheColbertinator]

Chongyu War

[Christopher]

You're almost 400 years ahead of Tsushima timeline...

[GoodGuy09]

Id love to see Jins journey into other parts in japan. Would they have to change the tsushima part in the title though? Lol.

[Christopher]

It might be Ghost of ??? type of thing. No numbers or subheadings, just keep Ghost in the title.

[mkis007]

I was thinking something along the lines of native americans.

[Rocosaurus]

I like it.

[mkis007]

Could be an Apache or something. Would have to be handled delicately in the current climate though.

[jbrock11]

Would like to see the next game focus on the Edo period which is ( imo ) the most interesting Samurai period. Telling the story of Ieyasu, Nobunaga and Hideyoshi in that engine and environment would be incredible.

[Rocosaurus]

I would like them try a different setting. Native Americans were mentioned by others, which I think would be a fantastic idea. A story of vengeance from a perspective of a apache warrior would be super cool. More diverse settings please.

[Vanfernal]

I don't know. That would basically make it another Assassin's Creed. Part of what made this game so appealing was the particular Japanese setting. And the art direction they were able to take with it.

[Bebedora]

They should do some bad a** star trekk!

[SullysCigar]

Sounds good to me!

[Jaces]

I don't know how they'd continue the Jin story considering it'd have a fairly closed end. Unless he continues to mainland Japan to help fight the invasion, but I haven't even finished the campaign yet so I don't know. A new story on mainland Japan with a new protagonist keeping the samurai/ninja mechanics could be cool. Don't think Jin's story would make for a good trilogy like most games we see.
