It seems multiplayer may not be off the cards for Ghost of Tsushima in the future, and the idea of that might seem a bit odd to many people familiar with the distinctly single-player title.
Ghost of Tsushima is an open-world action-adventure PlayStation 4 exclusive wherein you - a samurai by the name of Jin Sakai - fight to protect Tsushima Island during the first Mongol invasion of Japan in 1274.
The game, which has no mode other than that of offline single-player, was released last month and subsequently met with critical acclaim. Critics and players alike - both Japanese and otherwise - have been showering Tsushima with praise (with some exceptions, of course), specifically for its gorgeous visuals and faithful homage to 13th century Japan.
The success has been rather overwhelming in fact, with a staggering 2.4 million copies of the game being sold within the first three days of its release alone. That makes it PlayStation 4’s fastest-selling first-party original IP to date. So with all this, the stage is pretty much set for a sequel at some point in the future.
And this is where a multiplayer mode might come into play, so to speak.
In a recent interview, Sucker Punch Game Director Nate Fox dropped what could be considered a little hint that multiplayer may be a thing in the future:
Because Jin’s story is “inherently” single player and should probably be left alone as such, it’s likely that a multiplayer experience would only manifest itself in a whole new scenario. Probably in a second Ghost of Tsushima game. If and when that does happen, hopefully the devs will manage to do justice to it in the same way they did for the first game.
We were always very focused on telling this one story of Jin’s transformation. It’s inherently a single-player experience. But who knows what the future holds?
Ghost of Tsushima is out now exclusively for PlayStation 4.
