Ghost of Tsushima: the game will become a movie, it's the director of John Wick who will take care of it

With the multiple references to Akira Kurosawa’s cinematographic works, it was obvious that Ghost of Tsushima was going to be the subject of a feature film. Sucker Punch confirmed this through the PlayStation Blog, specifying that it is not just anyone who would be in charge of the project. Indeed, Chad Stahelski, the director of the John Wick saga, will have the difficult task of bringing the adventures of Jin Sakai to the big screen. “His visionary spirit and years of experience have allowed him to make some of the most memorable action scenes of all time., says the director of the game, Nate Fox. If anyone can recreate all the tension of the katana fights Jin engages in, it’s Chad Stahelski.

Beyond the brutality of his fights, Ghost Tsushima marks above all by his aestheticism; some places are incredibly beautiful, so we can expect Sucker Punch to ensure that this aspect of the game is fully respected. Side story, this adaptation will obviously show how Jin, who has always respected the code of honor of the samurai, donned the costume of the Phantom to defend the island of Tsushima from the Mongol invasion.

Good news never comes alone, we learn, moreover, that the game now totals more than 6.5 million copies sold worldwide. “Lhalf of the players who bought it were at the end of the adventure, says Nate Fox. It’s a bit crazy, isn’t it? The digital Mongols have therefore been driven out of Tsushima approximately 3.25 million times.

For the record, Nate Fox and and Jason Connell (creative director) have recently been appointed ambassadors by the mayor of the island for allowing Tsushima to gain notoriety. “As the new ambassador of the very real island of Tsushima, I would like to invite you to visit it, when the health situation permits and if you have the opportunity., says Nate Fox. It is a beautiful island, historically rich and its people are so warm. With any luck, you might even spot a Tsushima cat. And later when the movie Ghost of Tsushima will be out, you can tell your friends that you walked along the beach where the Mongols landed.
