As a new IP produced by Sucker Punch Studios, the developer behind the Infamous and Sly Cooper franchises, Ghosts of Tsushima proved to be a critical and commercial success. Selling over eight million copies as of January 2022, Ghosts of Tsushima is a PlayStation exclusive that offers open-world exploration, a well-received narrative, and novel combat experiences. Its popularity proved to be widespread, as there are already rumors of a Ghosts of Tsushima film in the works and Sucker Punch released a director's cut for those who wished to play the game on the PS5.
