Sony is Using the Same Trick for Ghost of Tsushima That Todd Howard Used for a Massive Spike in Fallout Player Count

Sony is all set to use the same tricks to reignite Ghost of Tsushima’s relevance in the market that Todd Howard masterfully used for Fallout. Howard managed to generate a massive spike in plyer count after the release of Fallout’s TV series on Amazon.

Sony is all set to do the same for Ghost of Tsushima following the successful run of the game. A spiritual sequel to the game has already been announced, which is all set to debut on PlayStation 5 next year.

Sony Will Do Everything To Juice Out Ghost of Tsushima’s Potential

Ghost of Tsushima is an extremely cinematic game that is inspired by movies from master director Akira Kurosawa. The game even has a dedicated Kurosawa mode that enables players to experience what the game would feel like inside Kurosawa’s imagination.

The game was extremely well received and managed to grab a lot of fame and attention. However, Sony is still not done juicing out its potential, as it feels there is still more that can be done with it. Similarly, Fallout is a long-running franchise with some amazing fans, but a TV adaptation managed to help it secure a special place in the global space by expanding its world to people beyond the gaming world.

Hermen Hulst, the chief executive of Sony’s studio business group, is of the opinion that expanding IPs across entertainment platforms helps reignite the original game’s relevance. He said:

From a business perspective it makes a lot of sense, When a television series or movie comes out, people are inspired to play again or make friends to play.

This is exactly what Sony plans to do with Ghost of Tsushima. It believes that a film or TV adaptation of the game will help reignite its relevance in the market and even attract a lot more people to the game, including some old players who will feel compelled to try their hand at the game again. Movies have the potential to do that.

A Movie Based On Ghost of Tsushima Will Be A Great Watch

Given that the game itself is inspired by the films of Kurosawa, a movie based on the game will follow in the footsteps of the master director. A movie based on the game is speculated to be in the works with John Wick’s director Chad Stahelski, but nothing more about it has been revealed yet.

Ghost of Tsushima deserves a film that does justice to the cinematic brilliance of it and brings to life the journey of Jin Sakai as he begins his quest to restore order to his island while battling with the concept of honor that makes him a part of the world he is trying to restore.

The game has the emotional depth that can be reflected in the film if that is ever to materialize. It will not only do the game good but will also expand its appeal to many more people. What do you think about it? Let us know in the comments below.
