Come August it'll have been five years since Sucker Punch Productions last released a fully-fledged video game, but given what we've seen of their next game - Ghost of Tsushima - so far, it's looking like that wait will have been more than worth it.
First shown off at Paris Games Week a little over a year and a half ago, Ghost of Tsushima will be a third-person, action-adventure title set during the Mongol invasions of Japan, and will take inspiration from the legendary Akira Kurosawa's films. A full gameplay demo was revealed at last year's E3, and though Sony are yet to confirm any release date, there's a decent chance that Sucker Punch's next game will launch towards the end of the year.
Either way, we should be able to expect confirmation of a release date in the next few months, and a couple more gameplay demos until it arrives properly too.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
