The development team of “Ghost of Yotei: Legends” recently confirmed that this PlayStation exclusive, released last year, had received its last major update in April. This announcement also reminded many fans of the previous “Ghost of Tsushima”: it was also developed by Sucker Punch, it was also a well-received and popular IP, and it also received its “last update” after a period of time on the market. This made some fans start to worry: “Is Sony going to freeze a good series again?”
The developers said that this phased end was their own choice?
According to the announcement, the development team stated that this time it is an official conclusion to “Ghost of Yotei: Legends” “with respect and gratitude.” But for players who have always supported this IP, this ending comes a bit too fast. The DLC or continuation content that many fans are looking forward to does not appear in this update.
What does this final update of “Ghost of Yotei: Legends” mean?
For a work that will only officially debut in 2024, it is not common in the industry to announce that it will give up updating in such a short period of time. Fans’ reactions are also polarized: some people think this is a normal product cycle, while others think Sony always ignores the follow-up of the game after it becomes popular.
This ending resonated with fans of both families
The developer of both IPs is Sucker Punch, and the “last update” news rhythm is almost exactly the same. A saying began to circulate in the fandom: Sony will not make the same IP popular twice, it will let you wither and then move on to the next one.
