The legends behind Legends
While details overall are fairly light, we at least know the names of a couple of main staff members, consisting of some notable creators. Takanobu Mizuno is at the helm, and while this will be the director’s first full series, Mizuno has already done some impressive work at anime studio Kamikaze Douga. In addition to handling CGI direction for the Batman Ninja movie, Mizuno directed one of the standout shorts in Star Wars: Visions, “The Duel.” Kamikaze Douga will animate Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, as well.
Story composition comes from an even bigger name: Gen Urobuchi. The novelist and screenwriter has left a big mark on the industry in recent years, including writing Puella Magi Madoka Magica and creating and writing Fate/Zero. Urobuchi is also known for PSYCHO-PASS and working on the epic Japanese-Taiwanese puppet wuxia collaboration Thunderbolt Fantasy.
We’ve still got quite the wait ahead of us, but hopefully, we’ll learn more about what to expect from Ghost of Tsushima: Legends soon. It’ll give us plenty of time to play through the upcoming sequel, Ghost of Yotei, after it launches sometime this year.
