Ghost of Tsushima 2 Release Date

Ghost of Tsushima 2 will be the sequel to the Ghost of Tsushima that was originally released in 2020. The game is highly rated by players and critics alike because of its addictive swordplay, reminiscent of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

Reasons to Believe a Sequel Is Coming

Ghost of Tsushima has sold over 8 million copies so far and that number is only bound to increase with time. We’re not even talking about the used market or the DLC but the standard game alone. So, a sequel to this action-slasher video game is inevitable. Especially as Sony is still trying to sell more consoles and maybe even release the PS5 Pro or Slim version like they usually do. 

A New Setting on the Horizon

In the first game, players battled hordes of Mongols who were trying to take over Japan. So, the question now is — Will Ghost of Tsushima 2 move away from the setting of its predecessor. The first game was set in Nagasaki Prefecture. To be more specific, players will be given the chance to explore Tsushima: A series of 100 Islands around the Genkai Sea, in the northern part of Kyushu.

Ghost of Tsushima 2 Release Date Speculation

There’s currently no Ghost of Tsushima 2 release date as of this time. But we did manage to include all the hints and leaks of a sequel to the popular samurai-ninja video game. The closest release date for Ghost of Tsushima 2 is between 2023 to 2024 but depending on Sony’s schedule, it may still take a few years before a prequel hits the shelves. 

But based on Sony’s dedication to Ghost of Tsushima, we’ll get our sequel sooner or later. For one, Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, a horror-themed DLC was released as the multiplayer mode. A year after – The Director’s Cut was released. So, there’s still hope for the future. 

Ghost of Tsushima 2 Leaks and Hints

There’s no concrete news on the Ghost of Tsushima 2 but whenever it’s released, PS5 consoles will get a version of the game. On the studio’s side, Sucker Punch has been looking for a Senior Game Writer and a Combat Designer. The writer is supposedly going to work on writing an open-world game while the designer must have played Ghost of Tsushima.

To us at Player.me, the studio is looking for ways to improve the Ghost of Tsushima’s sequel. If they’re creating a new IP, they don’t need to hire a designer who has played Ghost of Tsushima and is well-acquainted with its combat system. Players will have to wait until there’s official news from the developers. 

Our Final Say

It’s unlikely that a Ghost of Tsushima 2 video game will be released anytime soon. In fact, the release date isn’t being announced anytime soon because good content takes time to create. Lest it get repetitive. So, fans will have to give the folk over at Sucker Punch more time to hone what fans love in the original game, improve on it, and then add their innovations. Alternatively, maybe we will see a new Triple-A title before Ghost of Tsushima 2 is released. 

Frequently Asked Questions 

Is Jin Sakai Real?

No, Jin is entirely a work of fiction. But the developers went through the liberty of visiting Japan and exploring the history and culture of Jin Sakai’s birth and resting place. This means that the samurai-turned-ninja had a tough life which has been immortalised by Sucker Punch.

Who Will Be the Main Character in Ghost of Tsushima 2?

The main character in the original Ghost of Tsushima is Jin Sakai who didn’t die at the end of the game. So, our guess is that he’ll still be the protagonist in Ghost of Tsushima 2. Only that this time, he’ll meet new companions, enemy types, weapons, skills, gadgets, and maybe even a love interest to keep it chic. 

Is Ghost of Tsushima 2 Being Released for the PS4? 

Considering the rather loyal fanbase on PS4, Ghost of Tsushima 2 may still be released for the PS4. Top-notch graphics and the highest frame rates don’t always determine whether a game is great or not. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a great example of how games don’t need to run on the best consoles. But the PS5 release will truly be next-gen because developers will have had time to understand the PS5’s hardware.
