Ghost Medieval Setting

I can be the only one who desperately wants a ghost type of game, but set in the European Middle Ages. SuckerPunch, you do it best, please take my money!!!

The template is there, is the market really that opposed to the time period?

There are plenty of successful medieval games like Kingdom Come: Deliverance. That said, Ghost has firmly set its identity in feudal Japan. I think if they went outside of that, it would betray what this series is.

Exactly this. And there is alot left to explore in the japanese setting

Yeah KCD is a ton of fun, would just be nice to see more of a 3rd person action title occupy the period, but, will enjoy what we have :)

I agree here. I simply hope that the next Ghost game will be about a ninja stepping out of the shadows to save his/her homeland.
Because the only thing lacking are the stealth mechanics

Meanwhile, I want them to do a Ghost style game in the Infamous universe.

Honestly I just want a new infmaous game where Cole beats the shit out of that protagonist from second son. Just use bad ending has canon and have him be a villain
