Tango Gameworks - the dev team of GWT if hiring for devs for their new action game, so maybe with ton of hope they will continue the GHOSTWIRE game, or create something simillar and new

That rumor started due to the mention of a sequel in Bethesda's roadmap before 2024 fiscal year, but then they decided to shut Tango down entirely so whatever they worked on during pre-production has been canned a long time ago. Then they sold Tango to another parent company who entered the chat at the last minute after they announced they were shutting down, weird times.

Anyway, Ghostwire Tokyo and The Evil Within are still 100% owned by Microsoft and Bethesda, so either they get a sequel made by a different team or they just shelve both IPs and we never see or hear from them again. Chances are this will remain dead in the water, as now we got Microsoft involved and they don't like making horror/adult games.

Whaaaaaat? They weren't actually shutdown? That's pretty cool news. At least leaves a little hope for a spriritual successor. At least if they kept the people responsible for the engine and asset design.

This is the first game that really captured the feeling of a city of that size for me (GTA and the likes are fine but the proportions always feel a bit off for some reason). Even if the street layout isn't super accurate, which is quite noticable in a few places - for example Tokyo Tower isn't even remotely as big if you are on top of the building of Shibuya Station as it is in the game, it still feels like walking through a part of Tokyo.

Would be cool if we could get the same for other places (not even necessarily limited to Japanese cities honestly). I honestly just want another game that takes a real world city and achieves to mirror the feeling of size of the region.

That's really sad =/

Microsoft still own the rights to the Ghostwire IP, so unless some deal is struck it seems unlikely that Tango will make a sequel.

I'd love one too. GW:T gets a lot right for a brand new franchise, and a sequel has so much exciting potential.

I just completed the game and I want to send a message to whoever owns the IP and shutdown Tango. Dude if you want to lose money at least send it to my bank account. No way 6mi players is a bad number. And people even say it was not one of Tango's good games. Great exploration, interesting combat in higher difficulties, good story, lots to work with. And you'd have the whole Japan to explore. But I guess they are all moving to "live service". Soon enough there won't be any old IP for them to destroy.

I've played the game a couple of times and I'm still delighted. Many people have different complaints about the plot (and I have a few), about the gameplay, but the game has such a great atmosphere.... I just launch the game and wander through these streets. This is the first game in my memory in which I get pleasure simply from traveling through the world of the game.

Agreed with all here. Would love a sequel but it is highly doubtful we will see one. To me this IP is very special. Sad about what happened to Tango.

I didn't know Tango Gameworks was saved at the last minute and bought by another company. However, I don't know who holds the rights to this game.
Probably as mentioned is always Microsoft :(
Still, it would be wonderful to have a Ghostwire: Kyoto, since I really loved almost anything form Ghostwire: Tokyo. The fighting combat, the atmosphere, walk again in Shibuya.
懐かしい　TT
