To many PlayStation fans, Ghost Of Tsushima 2 seems like a pretty safe bet given the massive success of the first game. Yet, surprisingly, there’s been no official confirmation of a sequel yet.
Sucker Punch’s samurai game is talked about in the same circles as some of PlayStation’s best games from first-party studios like The Last of Us and God of War, so it would be a shock if Ghost of Tsushima 2 never materialized. It’s not like it was just a critical darling, either – it sold more than 9.7 million copies (as of July 2022), and that was even before it was brought to PC. So, here’s everything that’s out there about Ghost of Tsushima 2 right now.
Has Ghost of Tsushima 2 been confirmed yet?
No, there has been no official mention from Sony or from Sucker Punch that its next game will be Ghost of Tsushima 2. From information gathered from job listings, we do know that Sucker Punch is working on a new project and that it appears to be an open-world game, but there’s currently nothing concrete that suggests it’s Ghost of Tsushima 2.
Ghost of Tsushima 2 latest rumors
Surprisingly, given that almost every big triple-A game experiences leaks or insider reports at some stage, there has been next to no information on Ghost of Tsushima 2.
Arguably the most reputable piece of information we have comes from journalist Jason Schreier, who is a trustworthy source with a solid track record of. In a tweet debunking a rumor claiming that Sucker Punch is actually working on a new Sly Cooper game, Schreier appeared to acknowledge the existence of Ghost of Tsushima 2 and explained why it could be taking so long to develop (and, therefore, announce).
“Sucker Punch is a one-project studio,” he said. “The reason Ghost of Tsushima 2 isn’t out yet is because AAA video games now take 5-7 years to make. (Also, Sucker Punch is smaller than most other AAA game developers)”
There have been various other, less-reputable rumors that have emerged about Ghost of Tsushima 2. For example, claims that the game would be announced during May 2024’s PlayStation State of Play broadcast turned out to be false.
One final thing to consider as well: if Ghost of Tsushima 2 is being worked on, you definitely won’t see until April 2025 at the very earliest. This is because Sony has already admitted that no games from its “major” first-party franchises will arrive in the 2024/25 financial year, which ends on March 31, 2025. That means no new PS5 games from the likes of The Last of Us, Spider-Man, God of War, Ratchet and Clank, and of course Ghost of Tsushima.
So, that covers everything we know about Ghost of Tsushima 2. If the game comes to fruition, we reckon it’ll make our best PS5 games list in no time at all. If more rumors or official information emerges about the game, we’ll keep you posted.
