The Game Awards 2019, due to take place tomorrow, is set to be the largest gaming awards event of the year, and as with previous years, is also likely to feature an array of new trailers and announcements. In fact, one of those has now been announced by PlayStation; The Game Awards will feature a full trailer for Ghost of Tsushima, an upcoming action-adventure game which is exclusive to the PS4. First announced back in 2017, Ghost of Tsushima still has no official release date. As such, there’s a good chance that the date could finally be announced in tomorrow’s trailer.
Ghost of Tsushima Trailer at The Game Awards
A short teaser trailer for Ghost of Tsushima was recently revealed during Sony’s State of Play. However, it seems that it was merely a prelude to the trailer which will debut tomorrow during The Game Awards. The game, which is being developed by Sucker Punch Productions, is a pseudo-historical action-adventure game set in 1274. As the Mongol Empire launches an invasion of Japan, players will take on the role of one of the few surviving samurai. The game will reportedly feature plenty of stealth elements in addition to combat gameplay. However, thus far, fans have only gotten a limited look at the upcoming title.
Despite a big appearance at E3 2018, Ghost of Tsushima was notably absent from E3 this year. This led some to wonder whether the game had been delayed or even cancelled. Whatever the case, tomorrow’s trailer will be the first chance that fans have gotten to see footage from Ghost of Tsushima in 2019. Given that the game is a PS4 exclusive, not a next-gen release, it is expected to release sometime in early-to-mid 2020. As such, an official release date, or at least a release month, is a distinct possibility.
Ghost of Tsushima will be Sucker Punch Productions’ first game since 2014; the year in which they released both Infamous Second Son and Infamous Last Light. The studio is best known for the Infamous series, which began in 2009 on the PS3. Prior to that, the studio also developed the Sly Cooper games for the PS2 during the early 2000s.
