While the game itself has unfortunately been delayed past its initially revealed release date, this does mean that the developers are more focused on dropping a quality game a little late, rather than a broken game on time. It's been mentioned before, but considering the alternative of getting an underwhelming release, delays can be the better option someti Ninja Theory unleashed Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 upon the audience at The Game Awards, showcasing in-engine footage of what it will look like while running on Xbox Series X hardware. It certainly made a positive impact on those who may be wondering what sort of jaw-dropping visuals can be expected for Microsoft's next-gen console. Hellblade 2 portrayed a very folklorian aesthetic to its world setting , keeping in compliance with its predecessor, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, an award winning action-adventure game set in a dark, Celtic fantasy sett The second game, Convergence: A League of Legends Story , stars Ekko, a character with the ability to manipulate time. The game is slated to be a platformer, but expected many puzzle elements utilizing time travel, and a deep and engaging storyline to expand the League of Legends unive Sony’s first party studios are no strangers to releasing iterations of blockbuster franchises in the months leading up to a new PlaySation launch. In fact, Sony’s Santa Monica Studio released its hit title _ God of War 2 _ on PS2 in March 2007 just months after the PS3 launched in November 2006. Also, when the PS4 was set to launch in November 2013, Naughty Dog had just released _ The Last of Us _ in June of that same yLast year, Seattle-based developer Sucker Punch Productions celebrated the 20th anniversary of their first game release, Rocket: Robot on Wheels for the Nintendo 64, which has likely become the developer’s only title to release on a non-Sony platform. After signing a deal with Sony in 2000, Sucker Punch went on to produce two prominent PlayStation-exclusive trilogies, starting with the stealth platformers of Sly Cooper on PS2, and followed by the open world super-powered adventures of InFamous that spanned across PS3 and PS4. The largely-positive receptions of the six games has led Sucker Punch to become one of Sony’s predominant first party developers alongside Naughty Dog and Insomniac, but since releasing Infamous: Second Son (and its spinoff First Light ) in 2014, the team has slowed down their release schedule as they work on their most ambitious game to date, Ghost of Tsushima side quests|https://tsushimagame.com/ of Tsushima. Originally revealed near the end of 2017, Sucker Punch has returned to the realm of open world journeys but turned the clock back to the 13th century, as one of the last samurai of ancient Japan looks to defend his people against the invading Mongols. With Sony yet to provide any hands-on opportunities with the title despite it being less than three months until release, one would be better suited to look back at Sucker Punch’s history and the strongest elements of their games to potentially determine the key lessons that went into developing Ghost of Tsushima. The important thing to note is that both _ God of War 2 _ and _ The Last of Us _ were subsequently remastered and released on the next iteration of platforms that they had skipped. Additionally, both remasters went on to become even more successful than their original versions. This could point to a potentially similar future for _ Ghost of Tsushima, _ as the title is more than likely going to release right before the Microsoft officially unveiled the Xbox Series X , previously known as Project Scarlett. The controller retains its overall design and aesthetic in similarity to Xbox One's, but with some slightly new ergonomics. Also included on the new controller is a share button for recording games and taking screenshots, similarly to Sony's DualShock 4 controller. The overall console, Xbox Series X, promises a huge leap in power, and appears as a black rectangle stood up vertically in terms of its architecture des No release window was given, which was expected considering the studio had just become comfortable enough to release a reveal trailer at the time. Sucker Punch would then show off the game again at E3 2018 where, again, no release window was given. Though fans were hoping for information on a release date at that time, it was generally expected that Sucker Punch was probably not going to give any updates considering its reluctance to discuss its release to begin w After the announcement that Naughty Dog would be delaying _ The Last of Us Part 2 , _ _ Ghost of Tsushima’s _ release date then came into question. With the way Sony releases its exclusives on PlayStation, Sucker Punch’s newest title is more than likely going to release months after Naughty Dog’s to prevent the titles from cannibalizing each other’s sales. Similarly to _ The Last of Us Part 2 _ and _ Death Stranding _ , Sony has also repeatedly confirmed that _ Ghost of Tsushima _ will indeed release on PS4 (though _ Death Stranding _ actually was released just last month, and with presumably a shorter development cyc
