Given the big commercial success of Ghost of Tsushima, it seems like it will only be a matter of time before a sequel is announced. Whatever the case, Sony is extending the series with a movie from John Wick’s Chad Stahelski.
The movie is coming from Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions, the internal company that is charged with adapting Sony’s video game franchises for TV and film. PlayStation Productions is also behind the Uncharted movie with Tom Holland and the Last of Us TV show with HBO.
Sucker Punch, the developer of Ghost of Tsushima, is an executive producer on the movie. It’s still early days for the Ghost of Tsushima movie, and there is no word yet on the cast or when filming may begin. Similarly, the film has no release date yet.
Ghost of Tsushima the game expanded with a director’s cut version in August 2021 with new features and content.
