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 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.

At the very end of Bethesda’s E3 press conference last year, Todd Howard wrapped up the presentation with two brief teases for the developer’s next pair of open world RPGs. The first was a brand-new IP set in space known as Starfield, which Howard has since confirmed during a PAX East panel is still very early in development and will not appear during the studio’s briefing this year.

It's clear that the gameplay will have a good amount of depth to it. The cinematic action, stealth choices and variety of weapons should keep the player entertained in combat. But it's not just about the combat, there's also just the way your character interacts with the world. As seen in the trailers, you will ride around on a horse and it's clear that the horse has a weight to it that shows as it kicks at the

PlayStation’s focus on a handful of games for E3 2018 was well-known weeks before they held their press conference. With rumors swirling about a potential PlayStation 5 on the horizon, it was apparent that the platform holder would focus on its current crop of announced titles. The Last of Us Part II and Spider-Man are proven winners, and Death Standing continued to intrigue. Ghost of Tsushima, however, was perhaps the most interesting title. A far cry from Sucker Punch’s previous work, Ghost of Tsushima made its presence known at the show and stunned in its debut.

Development of Ghost of Tsushima is apparently going smoothly at Sucker Punch, despite the delays. There's said to be a significant amount of work going into the technical side of the game. The rumor doesn't make clear whether the technical upgrades came prior to Ghost of Tsushima being made into a PS5 title or as a result of being shifted to be a PS5 title. Considering how impressive Infamous: Second Son looked on PS4, expect Ghost of Tsushima to impress on P

It's due to its now-delayed release window that Ghost of Tsushima will instead be instead focused on at the as-yet-unannounced PlayStation Meeting 2020. This kind of event could tentatively fall anywhere through 2020. 2016's PlayStation Meeting was in September and focused on the announcement and reveal of the PlayStation Pro console. A PlayStation Meeting 2020 could similarly focus on the PS5, showcasing Ghost of Tsushima as a launch title or as an example of the PS5's potent

Ever since the release of Batman: Arkham VR in 2016, there has been radio silence regarding the next title from the tsushimalegend.com blog the acclaimed British developer, which will be a step in a new direction away from the dark knight. Apparently, three years is not enough for us to get our first glimpse at their newest project, as Rocksteady Studios co-founder Sefton Hill took to Twitter the week before E3 to confirm that they will not be making their way to LA this year.

But that isn't to say the Mongol's will be the only ones you fight. In the game there will presumably be numerous companions who you can attempt to win over. If the gameplay trailer is anything to go by, you will sometimes need to fight them. There may also be other factions within Japan that you will encoun

"Games are moving around. Feudal Japan just happened to be a place that, as a developer, I know I was eager to spend a lot of time trying to recreate. And as a gamer, I really wanted to play an open-world samurai game. And that's just one excellent place in history - there are so many m

Delays are inevitable in the gaming industry. While this sometimes upsets players, it's a necessary reality because a lot of work goes into game development, and it forces the choice of a compromised release or a slightly disappointing delay. October 24 is an interesting day, however, as not only 1 or 2 major games received delays, but 5 of the most anticipated games of 2020 have been pushed back, including The Last of Us

The game takes place during the year 1274 when the Mongol's invaded Japan for the first time. Japan was currently in the middle of their Kamakura era. The games hero, Jin Sakai, battles the Mongol Horde on the Island of Tsushima. This means there will be quite the variety of combat as the Mongol's were experts in archery and horsemans
