A few days ago a rumor jumped to the fore that, in addition to speculating about the possibility that Ghost of Tsushima was on its way to PC, raised the possibility of an expansion called Ghost of Ikishima that would be one State of Play from becoming official.
The move, which seems logical after what was seen with Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and what the studio itself did years ago with the independent expansions of Infamous, would have gained even more force in the last hours after registering a web page. This is what we know .
Ghost of Ikishima? The idea seems to want to keep the wake of the first game going to the Island of Iki, halfway between Tsushima and the southern peninsula of Japan. A stage much smaller than the original that could serve as an excuse to continue hitting blows in a new place.
Where does the rumor come from? On June 24, one of the founders of the XboxEra page took advantage of the rumors about a new Sony State of Play to drop a bomb on Twitter that little by little different media were picking up.
“Ghost of Ikishima. A standalone expansion-style game. It targets 2021. I don’t understand how so many have figured it out so quickly.”
The page registration. A few hours ago the name of Ghost of Ikishima returned to the scene from the hand of the following web record. Apparently someone had taken the .com address and, when entered in any browser, the page redirects to the official PlayStation page.
Official confirmation or trolled? Although linking one thing to another seems like the easiest option, the truth is that registering a .com domain is as simple as paying for it, and redirecting that domain to a third-party page does not require permission from the site to which it is redirected. In other words, it is something that anyone with certain basic notions could do.
What we know about Sucker Punch’s plans. The Ghost of Tsushima universe is far from over. In addition to a movie in progress, recent job postings for Sucker Punch pointed to the need to bring in a writer with experience in feudal Japan and a combat designer familiar with the game’s mechanics. Along with this, one of the game’s cinematic directors listed on his Linkedin that he was working on ” a Ghost of Tsushima for PS5 “.
Sony’s plans. Although it is to be expected that his absence at E3 will result in a presentation of his own throughout the summer, it has not been officially confirmed that this will be the case, nor has the plans for Ghost of Tsushima been openly discussed. We have to wait to see what good news the next few months bring us.
