Sony's 2024 game roster may seem sparse, with no major releases like Ghost of Tsushima on the horizon. However, the acclaimed samurai game could be Sony's saving grace, carrying its legacy forward. Despite the absence of new titles in renowned franchises, Ghost of Tsushima shines brightly for Sony.
Sony's CFO Hiroki Totoki stirred the gaming community by confirming the absence of first-party exclusives for major franchises like God of War and Spider-Man 2 during the 2024 fiscal year, ending on March 31, 2025. This revelation dashes hopes for imminent releases such as a potential God of War sequel and Marvel's Wolverine, pushing them at least a year away. However, amidst all this, Ghost of Tsushima remains a beacon of promise.
Ghost of Tsushima: Sony's Leading Title
The Arrival of Ghost of Tsushima on PC
Ghost of Tsushima is making its way to PC, marking a significant move as the next major PlayStation exclusive to expand to the platform. The PC version, including the Director's Cut, is scheduled for a May 16 launch, offering PC gamers benefits like uncapped frame rates and ultrawide support. This decision is welcomed by many who missed out on the game and is expected to enhance the reach of the Ghost of Tsushima brand.
Anticipating Ghost of Tsushima 2
Reliable sources hint at a potential summer reveal of Ghost of Tsushima 2, building on the success of its predecessor. Although unconfirmed by Sony, the timing seems right for an update to the beloved franchise, especially considering its past achievements. With almost four years since its debut, a sequel seems inevitable, poised for triumph on both Sony and Sucker Punch's end. The rumored sequel's announcement in 2024 could ride on the wave of the PC release's popularity.
The Upcoming Ghost of Tsushima Movie
Director Chad Stahelski's Ghost of Tsushima movie project is in its early stages, with casting yet to commence as of November 2023. Stahelski's enthusiasm for the adaptation hints at a promising future for the film. Stay tuned for updates on the silver screen adaptation of Ghost of Tsushima.
With a PC debut on the horizon, talks of a sequel announcement, and a movie in progress, Ghost of Tsushima emerges as Sony's flagship IP in 2024. With the right nurturing, it could join the ranks of Last of Us, Uncharted, and God of War as a monumental, system-selling series.
