Ghost of Yotei dev teases completely different time durations and settings for future installments

Ungeek not too long ago participated in a media roundtable interview with Sucker Punch studio head, Brian Fleming. As a part of the media roundtable, Ungeek requested Fleming what defines a “Ghost” sport.

Fleming defined that “the core of Ghost is somebody wielding a katana”. The Sucker Punch head additional acknowledged that “the pure great thing about Japan is a part of the essence of a Ghost sport,” too. So, every time we’re handled to a “Ghost” sport, “It’s going to all the time have that core, open-world katana journey of some sort”.

Lastly, Fleming mentioned, “we could change time durations, we could discover completely different settings, however I feel there are some boundaries we most likely gained’t cross.” As for what these boundaries are, Sucker Punch “can’t think about a Ghost sport set in, say, feudal Europe [as] That doesn’t make sense” and “There are many video games set there”.

Fleming’s response principally means Ghost won’t ever flip into Murderer’s Creed. Whereas Sucker Punch could proceed to discover completely different time durations and settings, as they did with Tsushima set on Tsushima Island in 1274 and Yotei round Mount Yōtei of Hokkaido, Japan, in 1603, the collection won’t ever abandon the nation of Japan.
