Editing PlayStation 2020: PS5 Exclusives

<br>When Sucker Punch released _ Infamous Second Son _ in early 2014 on PS4, fans and media wondered what its next title would be. Though nothing was set in stone or even implied, it was generally assumed that the studio would have its next project ready for the spotlight within at least the next three to four years. It would not be until October 2017 at Paris Games Week where Sony and Sucker Punch would finally reveal _ Ghost of Tsushima<br> <br>[https://tsushimagame.com/ Ghost of Tsushima DLC|Https://tsushimagame.Com/] of Tsushima is based on the first Mongol invasion of Japan in 1274. In the real invasion, the Mongols' path took them first to Tsushima Island, located between Korea and the Japanese mainland. Under the command of Kublai Khan, Genghis Khan's grandson, the Mongols fought against a small army of Japanese warriors on Tsushima , led by the Sō daimyo family. The local warriors - overwhelmed by the Mongols' superior numbers and more advanced, gunpowder-fueled weaponry - were defeated, and the population was massacred. After leaving Tsushima, the Mongols continued their raids on Japan's nearby islands, but the invaders were eventually repelled when a typhoon destroyed much of their fleet in Kyushu, Japan. This storm later became known as the kamikaze ("divine wind") of 1274 (via Britannic<br><br> <br>During the company's final State of Play livestream for 2019, Sony showed a 60-second teaser for a new Ghost of Tsushima trailer. The full trailer will be shown at The Game Awards on December 12 at 8:30 p.m. EST, but the State of Play clip gives viewers a glimpse at what the new trailer could reveal. It begins with a group of armored Mongolian soldiers, wheeling a heavy cart through a yellow forest on the island of Tsushima, Japan. They spot the game's masked protagonist, Jin, silhouetted dramatically against the light at the edge of the trees. They then draw their swords and charge, and Jin responds by drawing his and pulling a smoke bomb from his belt, slamming it into the ground below him. It's not much, but it does give viewers a hint at how Jin could develop into a "samurai commando, " gaining new tools (like smoke bombs) over the course of the g<br><br> <br>Sony’s first party studios are no strangers to releasing iterations of blockbuster franchises in the months leading up to a new PlaySation launch. In fact, Sony’s Santa Monica Studio released its hit title _ God of War 2 _ on PS2 in March 2007 just months after the PS3 launched in November 2006.

Originally revealed at Paris Games Week 2017 , Ghost of Tsushima looked to be a dramatic, samurai epic with some sort of supernatural flair, as the trailer showed what appeared to be the game's protagonist seemingly disintegrating into smoke. The game wouldn't be shown off again until E3 2018, where an extended gameplay trailer gave a look at Ghost of Tsushima's impressive visuals and methodical combat. This trailer didn't show off any of the supernatural elements teased in the initial reveal, however, and Ghost of Tsushima E3 details revealed the game would not contain any supernatural elements, after all.

More will be known at tomorrow’s Game Awards, possibly even a release date, but either way _ Ghost of Tsushima _ will still hold the record for being the longest developed game in Sucker Punch Productions’ history. It has been in development for so long that the studio has had a PS4 launch window title in _ Infamous Second Son _ and is now planning on releasing this new project ostensibly right before the launch of the PS5.
