It could be the case that a significant part of the team was moved over to begin GoT2 pre-production, thus leaving part of the team with nothing much to do so they can allocate them to do an expansion while waiting for GoT2 full production.
Guess its true then, neat, cant wait to see it.
Now then Transistor, when is the show... if you would be so kind 👀
Hype!
I just hope they add some new gameplay features and maybe open world activities
Loved GoT but it got dangerously close to overstaying it´s welcome with regards to keeping the gameplay interesting

Sounds good to me. Loved GoT and would happily play even more. Can't wait to see what additions and refinements they make off the original.
Would be happy for them to use this as a kind of extended epilogue for Jin's story and then moving on to a new era and character for the second game too, though I wouldn't be surprised if this ended up being a side story before the end of the main story in GoT.

I could be wrong but I'm sure it was a spin-off of this forum as certain members thought this forum was pro Sony.
There is a forum called "XboxEra"
Both the title of the article and the little blurb in the OP refer to it as a standalone expansion.
It's not new, but I can see it going from occasional to new normal.

It's the Island called Iki. It's located between Tsushima and Main land Japan
Edit: changed Ike to Iki.

Shawn was an advocate of this, and we see it more evidently in recent years in Sony's pipeline. There's a bigger interest in standalones.

Well keep game of thrones aside and unopened and play this instead.
The nature of these 'Direct to DVD' style releases means they're considerably more derivative than normal sequels - which means my glaring issues with GoT will almost certainly not be addressed, we'll just get more of the boring same.
I do like the premise of a bunch of smaller islands, mostly uninhabited, being used as a staging ground for the invasion of Japan proper. That would indeed set up a sequel where the Ghost must travel to mainland Japan to fight off the invading Mongols all while avoiding the nobility in the country who would see him executed.
I'd definitely grab that for my PS4.

Right. Ikeshima = "Ike Island". I think Ed just spelled it wrong.
The Mongols never made it to the mainland in any meaningful capacity. The Kamikaze absolutely ruined their fleet before they had a chance to invade.
No, this confirms that I heard about this last week. Big difference :D
As always things can and will change, so take everything with a grain of salt until it's officially announced.
I love this approach with Standalone Expansions as Sony and Bethesda are doing it. Others in the industry should take notes.
That wasn't the second invasion, that was the first after they leave Tsushima. The second was a big fight and a lot of people died . And like he said was several years after the first.
It's like 50 hours to 100% Ghost, 20-30 for story. Valhalla is like 200 hours to 100%, I don't know how long the story is but I'm 70 hours deep and it's not in sight. They aren't really in the same ballpark.
Ghost definitely gets repetitive, to the point I'd say you should save most open world stuff for if you want more, but if you mainline the story it's fantastic when it gets going.
Same here. I thought Lost Legacy was much better paced and more focused than U4. If Sucker Punch can make something smaller and less repetitive this time - i'm in.
Curious if it's Jin again - I wouldn't necessarily mind, but if it's akin to Miles I wonder if we get a full-on new protagonist, or a side character from the first game (like that one archer lady)?
Though I suppose it'd be a little harder to start from scratch character-wise and re-frame the narration for a smaller expansion pack.

Announce this with a ghost of Tsushima coming to PC announcement and I will fucking SCREEEAAAAMMM
With joy!

That's one way to look at it.
Another is that a "proper sequel" isn't a 2-3 year turnaround, but rather a 5-6 year turnaround, which means that this 1.5 sequel actually makes it far likelier than the 2.0 sequel is a meaningful evolution from the 1st game.

The poster was wrong anyway, the second invasion was a bloody affair.
壱岐島, Iki-no-shima
Ikeshima is another island further south in Nagasaki.

lol I removed that because it already had the rumour tag on it. It said 'Rumor' RUMOUR....
So I just cleaned it up.
I, and many other people, weren't bored for a minute by GoT. I rarely platinum a game, but GoT just had me come back day after day to just ride around and enjoy the gorgeous world and music. One of my favorite experiences of the last generation. Sad to hear you didn't enjoy it that much, but I think to many people this would be exactly what they wanted.
Considering how well received GoT was I don't think many people have any issue with more of the same.
I'm not sure I'd call Lost Legacy or Miles Morales derivative other than them being in the same franchise as Uncharted and Spider-Man. I found them both to be great games with the high points at the same level as the mainline titles.
