It’s almost hard to believe thatGhost of Tsushimahas been out for a little over four months. Since that time, the game has achieved a great deal of success and popularity among many in the gaming community. Now, it seems like Sucker Punch Productions might be thinking about continuing the story ofGhost of Tsushimain some capacity. This may feel like an obvious conclusion, but there’s evidence now that makes it even more obvious.
WhenGhost of Tsushimawas initially announced andthe gameplay trailer was subsequently shown at E3 2018, it came as a surprise to quite a number of people. Those familiar with Sucker Punch Productions beforeGhost of Tsushimaknew the studio best for theSly CooperandInfamousfranchises. Compared to those games,Ghost of Tsushimawas a massive departure from previous titles.

With the game taking place inFeudal Japanduring the first Mongol invasion, the game’s central focus is on that setting and period of history. Given how much the atmosphere and tone of the game hinges on historical accuracy, the writing of the game is very important as a result. Though, what’s interesting is that now that the game has been out for such a short amount of time, Sucker Punch is already looking to hire a new narrative writer.
The posting made on the job website specifically asks that the candidate be knowledgeable of Feudal Japan. The need for a new writer, especially one that needs to be knowledgeable of Feudal Japan, most likely points to somethingGhost of Tsushimarelated. Whether that’sGhost of TsushimaDLCor a whole new game entirely is impossible to tell at this point, but it does seem much more likely to be a sequel than the former.
Right now, it’s hard to imagine what else this job posting could be in reference to, if notGhost of Tsushima. It’s supposedly possible that Sucker Punch might be in the early stages of outlining a new story that takes place in Feudal Japan that could relate to an upcoming game. Then again, with how much content is already featured inGhost of Tsushimaby way ofhidden trophiesand other secrets, it’s unlikely that Sucker Punch is going to invest in this further.
In any case, it will be interesting to see where this job posting leads to, if anything. If it does end up being related to newGhost of Tsushimacontent, it’s also important to note that it will still take a while for the content to be announced, let alone released. For example, Rockstar Games posted a job listing on its site that may have been in reference toGrand Theft Auto 6months ago, and yet there still hasn’t been any official news regarding the release of the game.
