Jin Sakai Might Not Be Around Anymore, but Sucker Punch Has the Perfect Way to Honor His Legacy in Ghost of Yōtei

Jin Sakai did not get the ending he deserves due to a lack of closure for fans. His story left gaps for the imagination to fill, which was not appreciated by many fans.

However, there might be a chance for Sucker Punch to make amends and give people much-needed closure. There is a way to honor Jin Sakai’s legacy in the next game by Sucker Punch, titled Ghost of Yōtei.

Ghost of Yōtei Has A Chance To Honor Jin Sakai’s Legacy

It is being speculated that the next game will come with an integrated Mythic Tale that would feature Jin’s story and let players explore what happened towards the end of his life. The mode will be similar to the Mythic Tales in Ghost of Tsushima.

Ghost of Yōtei is already focused on the supernatural and folklore. Jin Sakai also became a part of one of the widely talked-about folklore during Ghost of Tsushima. It would be nice to see him make a return while keeping close to the theme and style of Ghost of Yōtei.

There are many interesting ways in which Sucker Punch can explore the story of Jin Sakai through the next game’s protagonist. The next game is set 329 years after Ghost of Tsushima, which is enough time for folklore to turn into mythology, further giving birth to the supernatural ‘Ghost’ of Tsushima’, aka Jin Sakai.

This is just one of the many ways in which we could explore the unfinished story. However, not much about the next game has been revealed as of now, and we will get a better picture in the following months when Sucker Punch will slowly roll out the promotional content to generate hype and shed light on the scope of the next game.

Ghost of Yōtei Will Be Different From Ghost of Tsushima

Both the games will be different in many ways. The narrative style will be a little more enhanced and nuanced and will focus more on the themes of self-discovery, human vs. supernatural, and myths and folklore as opposed to the themes revolving around the honor of a samurai and his identity in the previous game.

The protagonist for the next game has huge shoes to fill. It will not be an easy journey, following in Jin Sakai’s footsteps. He has set a high bar for anyone to reach. Only time will tell what the future holds for the next game’s protagonist.

We have only gotten a glimpse of what is yet to come, the tip of the iceberg. What do you think about it? Let us know in the comments below.
