Ghost of Tsushima was a big success, had a great & moving story with a good main character (Jin) with massive potential for a sequel. But the developers opted to drop Jin's story and create a new one with a gender-fluid woman as the lead (and taking place hundreds of years later).
This is quite baffling, as baffling as what they did for Joker 2. Jin's story was actually very good and the whole narrative was pointed towards his future as a Ronin and a fugitive to be developed for GOT 2.
It is always weird when creatives stop doing what was successful and then go the woke route which a big part of their fanbase despises, and then the franchise ends up ruined. It's almost like they are getting forced to do this by gunpoint.
