"Ghost Warrior: The Way of Swords", which will be released in 2026, will be the first new orthodox sequel to the series in 20 years, with the protagonist being the legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi.Game development has begun since the beginning of 2020. During this period, the trend of gaming has changed, and open world games and soul games have become strong forces in the game market.But Satoru Nihei, director of "Ghost Warrior", said that this work will be faithful to tradition.

"Ghost Warrior: The Way of Sword is not an open world game, nor is it a recurring challenge (soul) game with extremely high death penalty," he said."There is no doubt that action game veterans will be able to enjoy it, but our goal is to make players who are not good at action games have fun. In "The Way of Sword", our main focus is on the performance of blade-fighting combat through actions."

Despite the introduction of a series of new mechanics, Ghost Warrior: The Way of Swords seems to retain many of the traditional elements of the series.Previously, the producers have also confirmed that the game will stick to the foundation of the series and adopt linear story and level advancement rather than choosing an open world exploration form.As a new orthodox sequel to 20 years from now, "The Way of Swords" seems to continue to temper the spirit of "Ghost Warrior" - although it is technically a reboot, it seems that it can provide enough content for both new and old players in the series.

"Ghost Warrior: The Way of Sword" is scheduled to be available on PC (Steam), PS5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms in 2026.
