Sucker Punch Teases Potential for Ghost of Tsushima 3
With the launch of Ghost of Yōtei gaining momentum, the question on everyone’s mind is whether Sucker Punch is already contemplating a third installment. Creative director Jason Connell shed light on this matter in a recent interview, delving into the overarching philosophy of the series. While the possibility of a sequel is not off the table, its realization hinges on various factors.
Evolution of the Ghost Series
Connell disclosed that the Ghost series does not revolve around a singular protagonist, such as Jin Sakai or the latest hero Atsu. Instead, it serves as an anthology where the legacy of the Ghost transcends temporal and spatial boundaries. The developers take pleasure in narrating the tales of unlikely heroes who rise to prominence.
If Sucker Punch opts to explore a third game, the change in historical era or setting must bring about “significant narrative value” and be intricately connected to the player’s immersion. In essence, the studio will only greenlight another installment if they unearth a fragment of Japanese history that enables them to weave a captivating storyline within a fresh and distinctive backdrop for another thrilling escapade.
