Ghost of Tsushima was the perfect swan song for the PlayStation 4 era and showcased the beauty of the historically fictionalized island of Tsushima along with Japanese culture. The gaming community immediately fell in love with the unique open-world design and the compelling narrative paired with a great combat system.
The main protagonist is a fallen samurai who resorted to darker and bloodier methods to rid his home of invaders and liberate his people by any means necessary at any cost. Players can unlock a handful of cosmetic items and outfits and some took the opportunity to get creative.
Talented Artists Blended the Aesthetic of the Destined One’s Armor With Ghost of Tsushima
The gaming community was satisfied with what Sucker Punch Productions worked on and it was a proper send-off for the PlayStation 4 generation. Sony Interactive Entertainment holds this franchise in high regard and decided it was best to port this game to the PC platform and to close the gap between the two separate platforms by enabling crossplay for Ghost of Tsushima: Legends.
Fans loved exploring every square inch of the island and fighting invaders with different tactics and weapons. Players take on the role of Jin Sakai and develop a reputation as this brutal defender of the island of Tsushima against invaders and local terrorists, and the recent release of Black Myth: Wukong, the Destined One’s armor inspired fans to put Sakai in the armor.
Both games are available on the PlayStation 5 and PC; unfortunately, some players had to deal with a fuzzy performance on launch day. It is a different case on the PC platform and it went on to have one of the biggest launch days on Steam and shattered records set by popular franchises.
This fan-made artwork received the seal of approval from fellow fans. Both game developers took advantage of cultural representation and these franchises are inspired by their Asian roots and the combat system of the Soulslike genre, perhaps Sucker Punch Productions could release a new update featuring the Wukong armor in celebration of this new project.
It is rare to see the gaming community celebrate these video games rather than nitpicking and comparing them with others. The developers of Game Science poured their hearts and talents into this game and the final product was worth the wait similar to how PlayStation fans anticipated the release of Ghost of Tsushima.
The Destined One and Jin Sakai Could Exchange Outfits After Black Myth Wukong
Game Science could fill in the void nicely left by Sucker Punch Productions as the gaming community waits for the unannounced, but inevitable Ghost of Tsushima sequel. Both games feature an intense combat system and challenge the player base to improve their skills.
The cultures of the Japanese and Chinese people have always been an interesting theme rarely touched upon by the entertainment industry. The gaming community is grateful to the developers of Sucker Punch Productions and Game Science for raising awareness and setting the bar high.
Perhaps the success of the franchises will inspire other game developers to tackle different cultures in video games. It is an untapped pool of potential for new projects.
Sucker Punch Productions did a terrific job with Jin as the protagonist and fans expect to see more. Hopefully, Sony will officially announce a sequel is in the works. What are your thoughts about Black Myth Wukong so far? Let us know in the comments section below!
