The private demo allowed Sucker Punch to highlight many of the little details that make the game feel real. Mud splashes about when stepped through, wheat parts as you race by and leaves move across the floor realistically as characters fight. It’s all an impressive sight.
Ghost of Tsushima , the samurai action game from Infamous developers Sucker Punch, may be coming to PS5 according to a new rumor. The rumor claims that PlayStation has two unannounced upcoming events. The first will be a State of Play livestream showcasing Death Stranding and The Last of Us 2 . The second, PlayStation Meeting 2020, will focus on Ghost of Tsushima . Ghost of Tsushim a has apparently been delayed, in part so it can be brought to PS4,
While this premise and story are much different than anything Sucker Punch has worked on before, Nate Fox finds something romantic about feudal Japan and believes it to be a setting underused by western develop
From a gameplay perspective, Ghost of Tsushima is a departure from the Infamous franchise. While those games were all about continuously moving around the battlefield, Ghost of Tsushima is more about studying enemy movement, parrying and attacking when finding an opening. Melee combat becomes more nuanced when fighting 1v1, as shown in the final fight with his fallen comrade, Masako. Sucker Punch commented that they’re pulling heavily from Japanese cinema like Yojimbo for the combat. Unfortunately, the HUD was turned making it difficult to determine how exactly the game plays. When confronted, Sucker Punch didn’t explicitly compare combat to any other game on the market but did admit it has elements similar to the Batman Arkham and Middle-earth games.
For something that takes place from an utterly different perspective, look no further than the gothic horror 2D Soulslike, Blasphemous . Featuring religious imagery and overtones in tangent with seemingly Eldritch abominations and horrors, Blasphemous is a poignant and hyper-brutal pixel art action RPG fans of Sekiro will love in spa
There’s no doubt that Sucker Punch Productions is a talented developer having previously delivered two stellar franchises. To see them do something so different and pull it off as well as they have, however, is masterful. Beautiful and company website deadly, Ghost of Tsushima is shaping up to be a real showcase for the PS4 and the studio. We still have a ways off before the game finally launches, but we’re excited to see what else Ghost of Tsushima has in store for us.
We got to sit down with Sucker Punch Productions to see Ghost of Tsushima up close. Though it was the same demo shown at the conference, we did learn important new details. The game takes place in 1274 during the Mongols’ invasions of the island of Tsushima. You play as Jin Sekai, the last living samurai on the island. Having lost everything to the Mongols, Jin now fights for the common people as he tries to stave off the invasion.
Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima is one of the most intriguing titles in Sony’s upcoming first-party PS4 lineup. While there have been games set in feudal Japan before, it isn’t a setting usually tackled by western developers, especially one most recently known for superhero games set in cities based on New York, New Orleans, and Seattle. That being said, Sucker Punch Creative Director Nate Fox still seems eager to be working with and developing Ghost of Tsushima in such a different setting than Sucker Punch is normally used
Hollow Knight also has one of the most enjoyable creative directions, with a moving and powerful soundtrack that perfectly complements the hand-drawn art and animation. It’s a beautiful but grim world that is a treat to explore when not dueling other insect bosses in fast-paced batt
Square Enix and Platinum Games are teaming up again for another action title. Called Babylon’s Fall , we were given a very Nier -esque trailer that didn’t reveal much about plot details. It does look exciting, though. You can check out our full coverage he
It will definitely be interesting to seen how Sucker Punch being a western developer impacts the feeling and atmosphere of Ghost of Tsushima as a whole, but so far what we’ve seen looks great.

Developed by the team behind Assasin’s Creed Odyssey, Gods & Monsters is Ubisoft’s answer to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , a game that greatly influences this one. Set on the Isle of the Blessed, Gods & Monsters is an open-world action-adventure game complete with unique trials and puzzles, dungeons to explore, and legendary quests to undertake. It was originally supposed to release first, on February 25, 2020, but it has also been pushed back. It seems likely that this will release first in the new schedule, but there will likely be more distance between it and Watch Dogs Legion . That said, until Ubisoft confirms the new release dates, there’s no way of knowing when Gods & Monsters will d
