Prior to Ghost of Tsushima?s release, there was a lot of talk about Sucker Punch Productions tackling the game?s setting, and whether a Western team would be able to do the story justice. Sucker Punch itself recognized the challenges involved in doing so, and allayed concerns by reassuring fans that it had sought help from Japanese developers alongside studying relevant historical material.
Speaking during a PAX Online panel (via Twinfinite) producer Brian Fleming revealed that the team was so nervous about the idea that only 6-7 developers within the studio knew about the pitch, and they first approached Shuhei Yoshida to discuss the issue. Yoshida was all on board, and thanks in part to his support and encouragement, Sucker Punch decided to pursue the project.
