In the course of the current previews of Ghostwire: Tokyo Developer Tango Gameworks has once again commented on the playtime of their PS5 exclusive title.
Game Director Kenji Kimura also elaborated on the game world concept, which should be viewed less as an open world and more as a sandbox environment. Nevertheless, there will be plenty of opportunities to explore the city of Tokyo and everything around it.
gegenüber Wccftech Kimura says:
"Depending on one's view of an open-world game, things can change, but we think this is an action-adventure game with a sandbox-style map, with a puzzle you want to solve by exploring the city. In that light, Ghostwire: Tokyo probably wouldn't fall into the open-world genre, but that's our opinion."
As a player, you can go anywhere at any time, for example, if you discover interesting locations, without encountering any particular obstacles. This also applies to vertical access to buildings, which in a way also serves as a puzzle. Special clues have been devised to guide the player.
“We were able to use ghosts and place various objects that serve as clues to tell the player the easiest way to get there. This was a new challenge we hadn't expected, but it was fun to create.”
This is how much playtime Ghostwire Tokyo offers
Regarding the scope of Ghostwire tokyo As far as the story is concerned, Tango Gameworks estimates that the regular story will take around 15 hours. However, those who want to explore every corner of the game can expect to spend 30 to 40 hours.
"Regarding the scope of Ghostwire: Tokyo, we think it takes approximately 15 hours to complete just the main missions. If you want to play and enjoy all the side missions, it would probably take about twice as long or more, depending on your skill level. So we would say roughly 30 to 40 hours of gameplay if you complete all the side content."
Ghostwire: Tokyo It will be officially released on March 25, 2022.
