GhostwireTokyo was nearly going to be The Evil Within 3!
✖ Ghostwire: Tokyo is an exciting new IP from Tango Gameworks and Bethesda, but the game wasn't always planned as something new: it was originally planned as The Evil Within 3! According to GameSpot, Tango Gameworks was planning to make a direct follow-up to its 2017 game The Evil Within 2. However, at some point the developer decided that Ghostwire: Tokyo would become its own thing instead.
While some might find this strange, it's certainly not the first time a developer decided to shift a game's focus away from one IP and towards another; sometimes, it really does work out for the best! Back in the mid-90s, HAL Laboratory was working on a photography game called Jack and the Beanstalk, but the developer was struggling to find a hook.
It remains to be seen whether the decision to make Ghostwire: Tokyo its own separate game will similarly pay off. This case is a little different, as we have a developer moving a game away from a successful IP, rather than connecting to one. That can be a risky gamble in the video game industry, where new franchises often struggle to get attention from gamers.
Ghostwire: Tokyo is set to release March 25th on PlayStation 5 and PC. Readers can check out all of our previous coverage of the game right here. 0commentsAre you looking forward to Ghostwire: Tokyo?
