Sucker Punch Reaffirms One-Game Focus, Will Choose Next Title After Legends Releases

With major launches spaced about five years apart, leaders say the next pick must be the team’s best idea.

Overview

  • Studio head Brian Fleming told VGC the team will remain a single-project developer and “can only do one thing at a time.”
  • The decision on what to make next is slated for after Ghost of Yotei: Legends ships in 2026, with no new project yet announced.
  • Fleming noted the team effectively ships one major game roughly every five years, elevating the stakes of the choice.
  • He added that internal generational shifts mean some employees are reluctant to work on historical settings, complicating franchise decisions.
  • Reporting highlights strong early reception for Ghost of Yotei and Sony-backed Ghost media—Chad Stahelski’s film and a Legends-linked anime—as potential pressures to continue the series, though this remains unconfirmed.
