3:30pm Saturday, December 9
It’s been a month since we announced our newest title, Ghost of Tsushima. Here at Sucker Punch, we’ve watched so many reaction videos and read many of your comments with smiles on our faces, so we thought PSX was a great opportunity to share a little more with you all.Join us on Saturday at 3:30pm as Nate Fox (Creative Director), Jason Connell (Creative/Art Director), Billy Harper (Animation Director), Ryuhei Katami (Associate Producer, Sony Interactive Entertainment) and moderator Brian Altano (IGN) discuss how we approached making the debut trailer and what inspired us to make this game. We’ll share epic concept art that’s driving the tone and visuals for the game, and share a little about our reference trips to Japan and working with new team members that are helping make Ghost of Tsushima even better. Also be sure to stop by our signing session after the panel and come say hi. Stay tuned for more info on time and location.

6:30pm Saturday, December 9
Join Naughty Dog and the cast of The Last of Us Part II as they discuss the making of the cutscene teaser trailer that was revealed just a few short weeks ago at Paris Games Week. Director and writer, Neil Druckmann, co-writer Halley Gross, and key members of the game’s cast discuss the writing process, casting, performance capture, and more. For those attending the event, there will also be a signing session following the panel.
Even if you aren’t heading to Anaheim, California for the annual event, you’ll still be able to follow along — it’ll be streaming on platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook over the course of the weekend. If panels aren’t your thing, note that the show’s opening presentation is set for Dec. 9 at 8:00pm Pacific.
My headline gives away the games I’m most interested in learning more about at PSX. I’ve got seriously high hopes for Dreams and Ghost of Tsushima, both in terms of what they’re tackling (an open-world samurai game about taking on the Mongol Empire, oh my god!) and how they’re shaping up.
