Ghost of Tsushima developer Sucker Punch seems to be moving on from its open world epic following close to two years of post-launch support. The game's latest update, patch 2.18, released early this week, adjusting various aspects of the title's dedicated co-op multiplayer mode, Legends. It also included a couple of minor tweaks to the game's single player campaign.
It's the statement at the bottom of update 2.18's patch notes that's making headlines, however. It reads: "While we aren’t actively working on any additional patches at the moment, we will continue to monitor feedback on the community-run Gotlegends subreddit and messages sent to @SuckerPunchProd on Twitter for any high priority bugs or issues that emerge."
It continues: "We want to say a huge THANK YOU to the entire community for the incredible amount of support and feedback we’ve gotten since launch. When Legends launched in October 2020, we never expected to have such an active community more than a year and a half later, and we could not be more thankful to everyone who has been with us on this journey!"
Again, it looks like this is the end of the line for Ghost of Tsushima — and that comes as no real surprise. It's been heavily suggested that the bulk of Sucker Punch moved onto the studio's next project a long time ago — that project supposedly being a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima. Surely an easy game for Sony to greenlight, seeing as Jin's initial adventure has sold extremely well since its original PlayStation 4 release in 2020.

I wonder if they started an InFamous game. The IP still has a lot of potential.
"Ghost of Tsushima Dev Is Moving on..."
Whaaaaaaaaa!?!?!?
"...After Two Years of Updates."
Oh thank feck.
Sly cooper trilogy collection.resistance trilogy collection.new infamous game.or new ghost of tsushima.🤔.choices.choices.word up son
Just started Ghost of Tsushima and so far what a treat.
Whatever Sucker Punch puts out I'll definitely be there. Every game they put out is always top-tier. They are tied with Naughty Dog for my favorite 1st party Playstation developer and deserve the success Ghost achieved. Looking forward to their next game!
Hey a optional online mode that they released after finishing the game who would have know that worked. See Capcom that is what you should have done with the Resident Evil 3 remake.
Love this game so much! I'm not sure what I want more: a GoT sequel or a new Infamous or A new Sly. I'd be happy with any really. 😀
A 3rd Person, open world Resistance game would be awesome.
One of the best games I’ve ever played, and legends was a brilliant addition. I was very pleased to 100% those trophies
Hopefully we'll get a sequel to Ghost in the future. Game was absolutely fantastic.
Amazing support and would welcome sequel any given day.
Meanwhile I have to sell my PS4 version of the game and buy the PS5 Director's Cut because I claimed Legends from PS+. Ffs Sony.
Loved this game but I honestly wish they didn't do a sequel. First games ending wrapped up everything nicely and they have frankly gotten about as much mileage out of this setting and premise as they possibly could unless they just went straight up supernatural or did a massive time skip which I frankly wouldn't care for.
@Happychocobo Why its your own opinion nothing wrong with that.
@Happychocobo Isn't that the majority opinion though? I personally prefer Ghost but Isn't TLOU2 more renowned with an infinite amount of awards and through the roof sales so why would it be an unpopular opinion 🧐
Thank yous, sucker punch! A great game. Can't wait for the next game.
I wanna say hopefully they don't ruin their next game with a multiplayer mode, but who am I kidding? We all know their next game will be a live service game.
@playstation1995
Resistance is Insomniac. Unless you are thinking of it going to another studio. Can't see how Insomniac will ever have time to go back to Resistance to be fair, with how much other stuff they have going on.
@lolwhatno Why not release Outbreak that game screams release me with optional coop and it will be great.
I enjoyed Second Son. Delsin could get annoying, but overall a good game.
I LOVED Ghost…so beautiful.
@pumpkin_head. Yes sometimes i think about sucker punch just like insomniac like theyre the same.2 of my favorite studios ever.and yes let me get a resistance trilogy remastered/or remake.word up son
That’s good. I can’t wait to see what they make in the future.
Perhaps the next iteration should be how the Japanese invaded Korea and did the same if not worse than the mongols did to Japan. The atrocities they committed go beyond war crimes. Then create a Korean protagonist that takes the country back…. The Japanese were not saints. Far from it.
@lolwhatno That was a fun game only the trophies are a crime. I will never Platinum it thats for sure.
I hope it doesn't mean they're just starting a new project.
Nevertheless, I expect a new game by Sucker Punch in 2024 at the latest. All Sonys in-house studios should take Insomniac Games as a muse for quality and quantity in regards of video game releases.
Ghost of Tsushima developer Sucker Punch seems to be moving on from its open world epic to......
Ghost of Tsushima 2 of course!
@Bloodklot
No one ever said they were saints.
No country is a saint. Every nation on this planet has committed terrible crimes in its past.
Hell, I’m an American. I could talk all day about the crimes my beloved country has committed since 1776. Especially crimes committed against the American people.
@PegasusActual93
They left it pretty open ended.
They could set the sequel’s story in mainland Japan in the ancient capital of the Shogunate. Jin could be captured at the beginning and brought to the Shogun. He could escape somehow. Then the game would be about getting out of mainland Japan. Instead of one giant open world, they could set up several large scale territories for Jin to explore and gain allies that could help him escape.
@lolwhatno
He’s talking about Japan’s multiple invasions of Japan during the feudal era. The Japanese invaded twice but were defeated both times by a combination of Korean militias and Chinese regular army.
In the late 1800s, Japan successfully defeated China in the First Sino-Japanese War. As a result of the treaty that ended the war, the Japanese received Korea as a protectorate. Then in 1910 the Japanese Empire formally annexed Korea. They ran it… Well they ran Korea with absolute cruelty, even forcing Koreans to adopt Japanese names and destroy their own culture.
With that said, I don’t see why he needs to bring that up about Ghost of Tsushima.
The game is in my backlog but I have heard nothing but praise from all the reviewers and gamers I trust.
@jorel262
Bro, play it. Thank us all later.
Haven't finished "Ghost of Tsushima", yet (Love it and take my time with it.), but I'm pretty confident that their next game will be a successor to it. That's how SP has handled it in the past and that's the way it's done today, even for Sony (unless you are "Days Gone").
One thing, why I love Sucker Punch is, because they try something new even within a franchise with their sequels and DLCs.
I assume they will change the hero and at least the region and therefore call it "Ghost of [New Region]", but keep the time-period, gameplay-foundation and open-world structure intact. There was a woman in an early side-mission in GoT who wants to become a Samurai, but isn't allowed to. I don't know if she shows up ever again later in the game, but I always saw this as a great subtle introduction for the main protagonist of a possible sequel. Maybe Sucker Punch pushes that whole conflict between honorable, offensive fighting Samurai and silent, stealthy assassin even further by giving you dedicated skills and/or weapons and gadgets you have to choose and you can not only become a Samurai but alternatively a real Ninja.
I don't know. My imagination goes of the rails, but I think their is a lot of potential for a second game, when you don't think of a typical continuation of the story. I want to see new countrysides, maybe big cities. And please add food! What is the depiction of Japan (or East Asia in general) without showing some awesome food and people eating in company?
As much as I loved Ghost, I hope their next project is something new and original.
@3Above @playstation1995 @RevGaming New infamous game would be dope! As long as it's like the first two games though.
The only game that ever made me shed manly tears.
Sorry but i didnt love it it was an ok clear icons off a map kind of game nice setting but didnt grab me
I still need to finish the directors cut content, but they put in some time on this project
Hopefully they enable things like VRR in the future when that comes available.
@KidBoruto Yes! I would prefer Infamous 3 rather than a Second Son sequel. Story wise they could squeeze it and I really like Cole. Or maybe start fresh.
@lolwhatno I loved it but i play solo so that makes it a lot easy.
@3Above Totally agree i liked Cole so much more or the girl from the expansion from Second Son she was so much fun to play with and i would love to redeem her.
Yes! Now they can focus on the new Infamous game and the PS5 remastered for Infamous 1 & 2 (plus DLC)
@Flaming_Kaiser @3Above The director/creator of the infamous series did confirm that Cole died for real in the "good ending" of Infamous 2 during an interview at some point.

@KidBoruto Yeah I remember that. But let's not forget Kessler was a time traveler in the 1st game so they could play around with that a bit. I understand that at 1st they wrote the evil ending of Infamous 2 as cannon but the players overwhelmingly chose the good ending. Maybe they still honor that while using the vampires from FoB to ressurect Cole 🤣
Loved the game and I hope to see new IP's but I wouldn't mind playing a sequel. Love the setting of games like this (would like to see a new Tenchu). Hope the Trek To Yomi will be decent too.
On Netflix there is the Age of the Samurai: Battle For Japan (6 episodes - 45 min per ep.) I'm going to binge soon (I hope)
@3Above True enough, anything is possible when time travel is involved .
@KidBoruto Nothing wrong with a retcon why let the lightning hit its not really difficult to change that.
Sad to see the devs "ghosting" this game, but here's hoping they're already cooking up an "extra spooky" sequel!
