Shoutout to @playstation.com and of course @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social for the really cool Ghost Rewards campaign.

My pin for getting the Ghost of Tsushima plat arrived while I was holidaying this weekend. Was delighted to come home and find it.

Love the effort that’s gone in

If there were any two studios in the world I'd be most looking to hear an update from, it's Ember Lab and Acid Nerve.
For both teams, it has been 4+ years since their last release, barring ports, etc.

Would absolutely love to see what's next at one of your shows @geoffkeighley.bsky.social!
