“Ghost of Tsushima Dev Halts Active Patching”
Sucker Punch has affirmed that it has ceased to be “actively engaged” in the creation of additional patches and content for Ghost of Tsushima.
In the patch notes for Patch 2.18 – or 2.018.000 as it is recognized on PS5 – for Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut and the Legends standalone, the team validates that the update “concentrates on alterations to Legends items, bug resolutions, and enhancements, as well as minor single-player modifications”.
However, at the conclusion of the update, the team attests that there are no more additional patches scheduled “for the time being”, and expresses gratitude to the players for “the astonishing volume of support and feedback” that it has obtained.
“Though we are not actively involved in the development of any additional patches at present, we will persist in monitoring the feedback on the community-run Gotlegends subreddit and the messages sent to SuckerPunchProd on Twitter for any high-priority bugs or problems that may arise,” the statement declared on the PlayStation blog (thanks, Push Square).
“We wish to convey a massive THANK YOU to the entire community for the extraordinary amount of support and feedback we have received since the launch. When Legends was launched in October 2020, we never anticipated having such an active community more than a year and a half later, and we could not be more grateful to everyone who has accompanied us on this journey!”
The patch itself primarily makes adjustments to the Legends standalone element, although a few changes to the single-player – including an augmented silk inventory for the New Game+ merchant and unspecified fixes to “dialogue and cutscene issues – have also been implemented.
Last March, the director of John Wick, Chad Stahelski, announced that he was collaborating on a movie adaptation of the PlayStation samurai adventure Ghost of Tsushima. And now, we are informed that the new Ghost of Tsushima film adaptation will be scripted by Takashi Doscher, who previously wrote and directed the romantic sci-fi romance, Only, along with the ESPN documentary A Fighting Chance.
