Sucker Punch Productions is a studio that made a name for itself by developing the Sly Cooper and Infamous franchises. Having proven itself as an asset to PlayStation, the studio decided to embark on a new challenge by crafting a new IP and, after years of development and research, Ghost of Tsushima was released in 2020. An open-world title set on Japan’s Tsushima island, the game has been a stellar success selling over eight million copies worldwide. The game's depiction of Tsushima island is so enchantingly gorgeous that the game's directors, Nate Fox and Jason Connell, were made tourism ambassadors of the island's real-world counterpart. To satisfy fans eager to see more of Tsushima and its samurai, a film is also in the works.
Part of Ghost of Tsushima’s appeal is its compelling narrative, which focuses on Jin Sakai, a brave samurai who finds his beautiful homeland attacked by Mongols. To drive the Mongols away and restore peace to the island, Jin must learn new ways of combat, even if it means turning his back on the customs and traditions that have been held for generations. The dilemma of tradition versus change that Jin faces resonates with many players, and it also reflects the story of PlayStation. Although the company has had set ways of doing things for a long time, recent years have seen the company forced to employ new strategies to contend with a rapidly changing world.
