Ghostwire: Tokyo may have met with a muted reception when it launched last year, but that hasn't stopped 6 million players from venturing out into the haunted streets of Shibuya to shoot some spooks with their finger-guns. This is according to a recent post on the playGhostwire Twitter account, which on Friday released a piece of special celebratory artwork to commemorate the milestone:
Ghostwire's accepted status as a solid 7/10 game might have a lot to do with the fact that it launched just a month after Elden Ring, but it nevertheless gained a devoted fanbase among players on PC and PS5. However, that 6 million player count surely owes a lot to its launch on Xbox Series X/S this April, after its year of Sony console exclusivity ended. The anniversary update released at the same time included a hefty bit of free DLC handed out to players across all platforms, but it was probably the fact that it was a Game Pass title from day one on Xbox that convinced so many players to give it a go.
If this unexpected bit of news had you thinking that maybe there'd be a Ghostwire sequel in the works, you'd be right — and seeming confirmation came from an unexpected source mere days later. Last night a Microsoft document outlining Bethesda's planned release schedule for the years 2020-24 was leaked online; among the as-yet-unannounced titles on the roster were Dishonored 3, DOOM Year Zero, and — yes — a Ghostwire: Tokyo sequel pencilled in for a release in 2024.
