Sucker Punch, the acclaimed studio behind ‘Ghost of Yotei’, is making waves with its commitment to a single-project development model. With ‘Ghost of Yotei’ now launched, and its multiplayer expansion ‘Ghost of Yotei: Legends’ slated for 2026, many are wondering what’s next for the Sony-owned developer. Studio co-founder and head, Brian Fleming, shed light on their philosophy in a recent interview.
Fleming emphasized that their decisions are driven by a desire for intense focus and ample time for iteration. “The truth is that whatever we do next, whether it’s continuing Ghost or going back to Sly, the decision is really more limited by, again, our cherishing of focus and time to iterate, which means that we really can only do one thing at a time,” he explained.
He candidly addressed the possibility of juggling multiple projects or releasing remasters, stating, “If we were good at juggling four projects, yeah, we’d have a remaster, and let’s go do one of those, and one of those, and do some fan request, that would be really popular… But we only get to do one thing.”
This singular focus means every five years, Sucker Punch is essentially “choosing your college and your major,” making each game choice critically important. With a rich back catalog including fan-favorite franchises like Sly Cooper and inFamous, the studio has many paths it could take. Fans have long hoped for a return of Sly Cooper, while the inFamous series could see a remaster or even a new sequel. And, of course, the possibility of another ‘Ghost’ title, perhaps completing a trilogy after ‘Tsushima’ and ‘Yotei’, remains a strong contender.
While the future project remains under wraps, fans of ‘Ghost of Yotei’ can still dive deep into its world. Comprehensive guides are available covering essential starting tips, best skills to unlock, advanced combat strategies, how to acquire the best early-game armor set, and all Altar of Reflection locations.
