Ghost of Tsushima Release Date Delayed Until July

The upcoming PS4 exclusive Ghost of Tsushima has a new release date of July 17, 2020 — a delay of just under a month from its originally scheduled June 26 release date. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/05/ghost-of-tsushima-story-trailer"] Ghost of Tsushima, developed by Infamous and Sly Cooper creator Sucker Punch, also allows The Last of Us Part 2, which also has a new release date, some breathing room. Hulst attributes both games' delays to "some disruptions to our working styles" caused by the ongoing pandemic. Sony Interactive Entertainment Head of Worldwide Studios Hermen Hulst said, on the PlayStation blog, that he wants to "personally congratulate and thank both the teams at Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch Productions on their achievements, as we know it’s not an easy feat to reach the finish line under these circumstances. Both teams have worked hard to deliver world-class experiences, and we can’t wait to see what you think of them when they release in just a few short months." Ghost of Tsushima's delay means that Sucker Punch's open-world game set in feudal Japan will likely still be the last major Sony exclusive for PS4, ahead of the fall 2020 release of PS5. Although Sony announced reworked release dates for The Last of Us 2 and Ghost of Tsushima, there's one other PS4 game on the way that we don't know about: Marvel's Iron Man for PSVR, which has also been delayed. We reached out to Sony for a comment on Marvel's Iron Man's delay and a Sony representative told us "SIE will provide an update in the coming weeks on the release timing for the game."
