Sony didn’t even announce yet that Ghost of Tsushima is getting delayed, but it’s going to happen. It is just a question of time.

PlayStation’s Canadian website displayed a different release date for Sucker Punch‘s PlayStation 4-exclusive for a while. Instead of showing June 26, it was something else. Sure, the company noticed this error, reverting the date to that June day, but they were too late, as here’s a screenshot below.

August 1 is a dumb date. It’s a Saturday, and that day is not used to release console games, especially exclusive titles. With this day, we’re close to what we predicted yesterday. If Sony won’t release both The Last of Us Part II and Ghost of Tsushima on June 26 (and even this isn’t official yet… Naughty Dog’s game, just like Marvel’s Iron Man VR, was delayed due to logistic challenges), then we’ll see a swap: Ellie and Joel will take the Japanese-Mongol fight’s date, and Jin Sakai will get a one-month delay. We either predicted July 24 or July 31. The latter is a single day from August 1, which sounds like a placeholder date.

So Sony is preparing to delay the story of Jin Sakai. They don’t want to release two significant PlayStation 4-exclusives on the same day, as that would likely harm the sales, and they think it should be a better idea if one of the titles get an extra month so it can get 9/10 scores from the international media, as we’re fairly sure Sony has high expectations of such a high-calibre PlayStation 4-exclusive as Ghost of Tsushima is…

Keep in mind that none of it is confirmed yet. However, going by the signs the company shows, we can somewhat predict these events. We didn’t think that the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak would cause such a ruckus in the world, maybe except for the gaming industry. (For now. We’ll talk about this separately later today.)
