It\u2019s a valid question, especially when you hear that the first game in the series sold almost <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1136758\/ghost-of-tsushima-units-sold\/\">10 million copies<\/a> after it was released in July 2020 on both the PS4 and PS5.<\/p>\n<p>It was a critical hit, garnering a score of 83 on review aggregator website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metacritic.com\/game\/ghost-of-tsushima\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Metacritic<\/a>, and is often considered by many as one of the greatest games to be released on the last generation of consoles.<\/p>\n<p>The game followed Jin, a samurai who must master various methods of combat to fight off Mongol invaders in 13th-century Japan. It boasted a cinematic visual style, stunning graphics and a slick combat system.<\/p>\n<p>As Hollywood continues to mine the gaming world for inspiration for movies and TV shows, there is no surprise that a Ghost of Tsushima film has already been green-lit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/john-wick-chapter-4-review\/\">John Wick<\/a> director Chad Stahelski is helming the adaptation, and if his work on the Keanu Reeves-starring action quadrilogy is anything to go by, we can expect a stylish visual treat with tons of explosive set-pieces.<\/p>\n<p>But for us gamers, the real excitement remains in a potential sequel to the original game. So, where are we at with getting our prayers answered?<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Will there be a Ghost of Tsushima 2? Everything we know<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>A sequel to Ghost of Tsushima is yet to be confirmed by its publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment or developer Sucker Punch Productions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>However, as you would expect with a high-profile title, the rumour mill has been in full operation, and so we have been trying to untangle exactly what has been said so far.<\/p>\n<p>Speculation has been rife from a now-deactivated account on social media website X called @Silknigth. The user, who has previously made some accurate predictions, stated that a sequel to the 2020 game was to be announced \u201csoon\u201d in an exchange with another user.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, high-profile Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier, who is known not just for his skill as a writer, but also for accuracy and professionalism, refuted several claims by the account.<\/p>\n<p>However, none of the rumours he rebuffed specifically mentioned Silknigth\u2019s Ghost of Tsushima claims.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This new Twitter account has been getting a lot of attention recently in the world of gaming rumors but I can confirm that several of its claims are false. Such as: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BGUAJa3lSN\">pic.twitter.com\/BGUAJa3lSN<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Jason Schreier (@jasonschreier) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jasonschreier\/status\/1775923849453834369?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 4, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"\/>\n<p>We are unsure if that means anything, and without an official announcement from the game\u2019s developers, it is best to take everything lightly. Give it a pinch of salt for now.<\/p>\n<p>Ghost of Tsushima 2 seems like an \u2018easy win\u2019 for everyone involved, but the rumours haven\u2019t really done enough to fully convince us just yet that it really is happening.<\/p>\n<p>[squirrel-affiliate-playlist squirrel_playlist_id=\u201d653\u2033 \/]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>When could a potential Ghost of Tsushima 2 release? Our speculation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Without more information from the publisher and developer, it is hard to predict a potential release date for a possible Ghost of Tsushima 2.<\/p>\n<p>A lack of updates also suggests that any possible launch is still some way off, which leads us to speculate it could come out towards the <strong>end of 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Jason Schreier recently posted on X, responding to a rumour that Sucker Punch was also working on a Sly Cooper reboot, by saying that the developer was a one-game studio and that AAA games take on average five to seven years to make now.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, 2025 seems like the earliest a possible Ghost of Tsushima sequel could land, given the first game was released in 2020.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">No truth to this one, sorry to say. Sucker Punch is a one-project studio. 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) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5dlR5fcgZo\">https:\/\/t.co\/5dlR5fcgZo<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Jason Schreier (@jasonschreier) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jasonschreier\/status\/1789694171176984792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 12, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"\/>\n<p>We will continue monitoring any updates circulating around the game, so watch this space!<\/p> <p><strong>Check out more of our <a title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/\">Gaming<\/a> coverage or visit our <a title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/\">TV Guide<\/a> and <a title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\">Streaming Guide<\/a> to find out what\u2019s on.
