There are numerous PlayStation exclusive titles to release over the last several decades, butGhost of Tsushimais one that quickly became beloved by many in the gaming community within a decently short timeframe. Releasing last year to much success and popularity,Ghost of Tsushimarecently received a new DLC expansion in the form ofIki Island, and it is littered with secrets and Easter Eggs for players to discover.
Iki Islandis the first piece of newGhost of Tsushimacontent to release since the release ofGhost of Tsushima: Legends, the online multiplayer mode for players to enjoy after finishing the main game. WhileIki Islandoffers much in terms of new content and gameplay mechanics, it also includes many cosmetic Easter Eggs that weren’t previously included in the main game. Many of which reference other Sony games, including ones that Sucker Punch has already worked on.

In a cave located onIkiIsland, there’s a cave painting that players can find that bears an uncanny resemblance toSly Cooper, one of Sucker Punch’s earliest franchises and a beloved, first-party PlayStation series. The painting in question depicts Sly Cooper running with his two friends, Murray the hippo and Bentley the turtle, who have made appearances throughout the series.
While it makes sense for Sucker Punch to include aSly CooperEaster Egg, given the studio’s direct involvement with the series, it’s not the only PlayStation series to be referenced inIki Island. There’s also aGod of WarEaster Egglocated in-game, as well as a cacophony ofGod of War-related content that players can find and use in-game.
It’s nice to see Sucker Punch pay homage toSly Coopernearly two decades after its initial release. Then again, it begs to question if there will ever be another installment in theSly Cooperseries. Given the massive success of games likeCrash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogyand theSpyro Reignited Trilogy, it’s possible thatSly Coopercould receive similar treatment in the future.
In terms ofGhost of Tsushima, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the series. It’s unlikely that fans will see another direct installment anytime soon, but given the release ofGhost of Tsushima: Iki Island, it’s possible thatGhost of Tsushimacould receive additional DLC expansions in the future. With any luck, the gaming community might be seeing moreGhost of Tsushimacontent in the coming years.
