Sucker Punch’sGhost of Tsushimawas one of last year’s biggest hits. It was well-reviewed by critics, beloved by fans—boasting over a 50% completion rate among players—and managed to pick up awards at most of the major events. Now, a standalone expansion known asGhost of Ikishimahas leaked online. As more information and rumors begin to spread, it appears that Sony has quietly registered a domain forGhost of Ikishima.
Since the initial leak, fans have been piecing together tidbits of information to attempt toconfirmGhost of Ikishima, with real-life coincidences acting as the primary evidence. The real island of Tsushima is less than 50 miles from a nearby “Iki Island,” and the latter is about 1/4 the size of Tsushima, making it the perfect spot to stage an expansion.

Now, ghostofikishima.com has been registered, and it unsurprisingly routes back to the PlayStation 4 section on Sony’s official PlayStation website. So, it appears that it’s time for fans to start celebrating and preparing for a sequel to one of the best-reviewed games of last year. It’s hard to imagine the sequel not being itself a beloved game. After all, despiteGhost of Tsushima’s performance, there are still plenty of smallimprovements thatGhost of Ikishimacould make.
While details are relatively scarce on the possible sequel,the initial leak ofGhost of Ikishimawas accompanied by some interesting details. First,Ghost of Ikishimais suggested to be a standalone experience, meaning that while it is intended to be connected in some way toGhost of Tsushima, it’s not simply an expansion. Second, and perhaps more importantly, a few credible leakers, such as Shpeshal_Nick, suggested that the game was being slated for a 2021 release. With half of the year gone already, this means that fans ofGhost of Tsushimacould be in for an exciting reveal sooner rather than later.
Even though the domain registry would appear to more or less confirmGhost of Ikishima, fans are awaiting therumored PlayStation State of Play, expected in July, for official confirmation. LikeGhost of Ikishimaitself, the July 8 State of Play is shrouded in mystery. It, too, has not been officially confirmed, but fans are anticipating news aboutGhost of Ikishima,Death Stranding: Director’s Cut, andGod of War: Ragnarok. With Sony being conspicuously missing from E3 for the third year in a row, PlayStation fans feel it is increasingly likely that an event is coming from Sony soon.
Ghost of Ikishimais rumored to be in development.
