Ghost of Tsushima's sales numbers have reached over 13 million copies worldwide across PS4, PS5, and PC. The news was announced via a New York Times interview published Thursday, generating further excitement for Ghost of Yotei.

Ghost of Tsushima sales numbers are great ahead of its sequel

Sucker Punch Productions' Ghost of Tsushima has reached the milestone four years after its release on PS4. It has since received a Director's Cut edition on PS5 (which comes with the DLC expansion), and a recently launched PC version in May that received a Very Positive score on Steam. It also released a multiplayer mode, possibly enticing more players to get into this ??adventure title.

Back on July 15, 2022, Sucker Punch reported on X that 9.73 million copies were sold. This means that the P??C launch, plus additional sales on PS4 and PS5 has resulted in more than three million copies shipped since.

Likely in response to the critical and commercial success of the first game, PlayStation revealed the game's sequel, Ghost of Yotei. It features a new female protagonist played by Erika Ishii (Apex Legends, Destiny 2), who explores the region of Ezo (now known as Hokkaido) and the stunning areas surrounding Mount Yotei. "Atsu sets out on a journey in the lands surrounding Mount Yōtei, an area filled with sprawling grasslands, snowy tundras, and unexpected dangers," said the PlayStation Blog.

“Being in this incredibly beautiful park with jagged cliffs and water, yet all the time being aware there were dangerous bears, was electrifying,"? said creative director Nate Fox to The New? York Times.

The game's trailer already has over five million views on YouTube. PS5 players can check out Ghost of Yotei when it launches sometime in 2025.

The sequel to Ghost of Tsushima got a reveal as part of the PlayStation State of Play stream. Ghost of Yotei ?moves things to 1603 during the popular Sengoku Period of Japan.

It also moves the action to the area around Mount Yotei, which is located in modern day Hokkaido, k??nown as Ezo back in that period. It stars Atsu, who is a protagonist that I’m sure is not going to rankle a very specific and vocal corner of the internet at a??ll.

The gameplay shown off looks very much like Ghost of Tsushima. Lots of tall grass, horseback riding, and swordplay. Atsu has a Shamisen strung across her back and a wolf features heavily. Ma?ybe you’ll be ?able to play songs for your puppers, I don’t know.

I feel like this is trying to trick me into playing again. I liked Ghost of Tsushima ?for a while, but it was way longer than it should have been and the open world was very open-worldy, if you know what I mean. Beautiful game, and killing Mongol invaders was a lot of ??fun for a while, but its depth wasn't enough to support its breadth. If you know what I mean.

Ghost of Yotei is coming to PS5 in 2025.

Sony has collaborated with toy company Spin Master to bring a variety of new PlayStation figurines for gamers to collect. The new figurines are based on characters from Sony’s first-party titles such as God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Forbidden West, and Ghost of Tsushima.

Aloy and Varl action figures

Sony and Spin Master’s The Shapes Collection has introduced a figurine for Aloy from Horizon Forbidden West. The 6-inch figure has 42 points of articulation and comes with 12 different accessories includi??ng multiple face plates and alternative hands, so as to offer customisation options for look and pose.

The Aloy figurine from the collection is priced at $49.99 on Amazon and is now available for pre-order. Spin Master will start shipp??ing the Aloy figurine in August.

Images for the Varl action figure have also been ??revealed, but details on the features, pre-orders, and shipping dates are yet to be unveiled.

Kratos and Atreus action figures

The 6-inch Kratos action figure, based on the God of War Ragnarök game, has 31 points o?f articulation, and the accessories includ??e Kratos' signature weapons Blades of Chaos and the Leviathan Axe.

Alongside Kratos is also the option for a 6-inch Atreus figure. The Atreus figure has 33 points of articulati?on and the included accessories include a bow, arrow, and alternative hands for diff??erent poses.

Kratos and Atreus action figures from this collection wi?ll be available for pre-order in the US via Amazon from July 15 onwards. The action figure will enter the s??hipping stage in September.

Jin Sakai action figure

The official Jin Sakai 6-inch action figure, based on Ghost of Tsushima, features 32 points of articulation. The accessories include Jin's katana, tanto, mempo mask, and an additional sword. The Jin Sakai figure will also be up for pre-orders in the US via Amazon on July 15, with shipping starting in September.

At the end of last week, Ghost of Tsushima was released on Steam, bringing with it additional content in the guise of it being the Director's Cut. Since then, the PlayStation exclus?ive game has been doing pretty well for itself, and has become one of the console's most successful ports on PC.

As of right now, Ghost of Tsushima has beaten out God of War �?another PlayStation exclusive title �?in terms of concurrent players. According to SteamDB, the former registered 77,154 players over the last 24 hours, while the latter achieved 73,529 players at its peak a couple of years ago.

Additionally, Insomniac's Spider-Man Remastered shows 66,436 players from two years ago. At the time of writing, Sucker Punch's samurai warrior game is the top-selling game on Steam???, being just behind the Steam Deck handheld system.

Note the words "single-player"

However, there is one PlayStation-to-PC release that Ghost of Tsushima is probably going to struggle to keep up with, and that's Helldivers 2. However, Ghost is still proving itself to be a mighty singleplayer game to make ?the leap from?? Sony's console to Steam.

That's fair, though. Helldivers 2 has been a phenomenal hit since launching earlier this year, becoming one of PlayStation �?and therefore Sony's �?most lucrative new release in a good while. As of three months ago, the game registered a whopping 458,709 concurrent players.

Ghost of Tsushima was originally a PS4 title, releasing in 2020, before making its way onto PS5 in 2021, so it's taken about three y?ears for it to arrive on PC.

Although it's been getting some pretty good feedback from the community, more than a few have been showin?g concern about players needing a PlayStation Network account in order to play online through Steam.

It may already be four years old, but Ghost of Tsushima is still a breathtaking game to look at. The verticality of its map means you can constantly look over a cliffside and view a beautiful forest of green or yellow leaves, soaking in either the sun or the storm. With so much beauty to behold, you might wonder how you can snap a pic and save a moment. Here's how to use photo mode in Ghost of Tsushima.

How to access and use photo mode in Ghost of Tsushima

To access photo mode, you can either press right on the D-Pad or P on your keyboard to open the photo mode. This will freeze the moment in time, stopping Jin in his tracks while letting the world move freely in time. From here, you're presented with a wide range of options to change the picture. You can change the camera pos?ition, depth of field, Jin's emotions, the wind speed, and a whole lot more. If th?ere's something you want to be different, there's a good chance you can do just that

Once you have the picture exactly how you want it, you can either press the Share button on your controller or P on keyboard to take the photo and save it. If you decide you don't want to take the ??picture anymore, you? can safely back out by either pressing right on the D-Pad again or through Escape on your keyboard.

Where can you access your photos?

To find your photos again so yo?u can share them with others, ?you can access them through the Media Library on your PlayStation console. If you're on PC, you can find them through the following methods depending on the storefront:

• Epic Games Store - File Explorer -> Documents -> Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT -> Screenshots
• Steam - Open Ghost of Tsushima in your Steam Library, then scroll down until you see Screenshots on the right side of your screen.

Looking for the best open-world games for the PS5 can be quite a t??ask. Many open worlds we have traversed over the years in gaming can be the most immersive or barren and uninspiring.

So, we have come up with the best open-worl??d games to explore for this platfor??m. 

The 10 best open-world games for the PS5

The following games may have appeared on the PlayStation 4 at some point, b?ut have since received an update to be ?native to the PS5 hardware. Keep that in mind.

Borderlands 3

Say what you want about Borderlands 3’s story, but everything else around it just slaps. When you have great character customization, gunplay, and a variet??y of abilities to play around with in huge explorable areas, you’ll easily forget about the game’s biggest weakness. Also, the DLC adds dozens of more hours to look around via side quests and just your own exploration.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Some may argue that the many explorable areas don’t amount to an open world in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but I’d argue otherwise. You can mostly explore everything in a particular instance once you have progresse??d far enough into the game’s story. 

What makes it even neater is that you can play the game in its entiret??y with minimal exploration and then come back without missing out on anything major. You can do anything in between as long as the game permits??, which gives the players a lot of freedom. 

Grand Theft Auto V

More than a decade later, Grand Theft Auto V’s Los Santos still holds up. Yeah, you can do the missions and all that and have a blast, but there’s also that huge online component that has remained strong since the game first came out. Not only is GTA V’s version of Los Angeles an iconic world, but it’s also an amazi??n??g sandbox to just mess around in.

Hogwarts Legacy

It was always a dream for many gamers who grew up with the Harry Potter franchise to explore the Wizarding World. When Hogwarts Legacy came out, while not set exactly in the same timeline as our favorite Wizard and his lot, it was a ??damn good experience. The castle itself was already such a treat to explore, with so much lore to uncover and so many activities to get into. 

Th??en, once you go outside and visit the other locales via broom or Hippogriff, that experience gets even bette??r. Some quests and activities do get stale, but the whole package is a gem whether you’re a completionist or a casual.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

The other Marvel's Spider-Man games were such a treat when it came to open-world traversal. However, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 took what was great about the original and Miles Morales�?standalone games and trimmed the fat. 

It’s fun as hell to traverse New York while ??web-slinging and gliding around from a visual perspective. The game also knows how to give you just enough playtime before th?ings start to get stale.

No Man’s Sky

The procedurally generated planets you explore in No Man’s Sky make it seem like you’re on an endless journey. You’re supposed to reach the center of the univers??e, but the game is best played to your own rhythm. Go off and explore nonstop. Discover new fauna, flora, and all the many other biomes out there. 

Go make b?ases and create your own missions. This game is a chill type of sandbox that’s pretty to look at and has a purpose with each thing you do.

Fallout 4

In Fallout 4, you’re rewarded for going off the beaten path. It may be a post-nuclear world out there, bu??t there are so many things to do. Pair that with the base-building mode and you can easily sink dozens of hours into the game. If you like that element of exploration at your heart’s content, this is it.

Cyberpunk 2077

Night City and Dogtown (if you have Phantom Liberty) are so visually pleasing in Cyberpunk 2077. On top of that, there?’s a lot of depth in these locales, ranging from player choices in dialogue and a strong focus on RPG elements.&??nbsp;

This game has come a long way since it was first released and now deserves all the praise it probably should have gotten now that it’s in a very stable, pla?yable state. 

Ghost of Tsushima

The open world in Ghost of Tsushima is just downright gorgeous. If you love to mess around in Photo Modes in games, you can easily sink hours to get the perfect shot here. In addition to that, the game has a compelling story with just the right amount of side content to keep you? going and admire the technical detail all around. 

It evokes a sense of familiarity the more you play this game, like what many players felt during the golden era of Assassin’s Creed games.

Elden Ring

Despite being a multiplatform game, Elden Ring does something?? ?that not a lot of open-world games do: it doesn’t hold your hand and lets you explore to your heart’s content. You’re really out there alone in The Lands Between with only a few indicators of where you should go. 

Fast-travel points are saved, NPC locations are marked, and the map is opened up permanently once you find the fragments. More than 200 hours later, many players, including myself, are still finding new things despite searching through every noo??k and cranny in every region.

Make it a priority, Sony

When Ghost of Tsushima came out, I knew it was something special. That's why I was waiting for the Director's Cut/DLC package with open ar??ms. Now I'm ??waiting for basically anything else. A PC port would do.

Sadly there is no confirmation at all right now that Ghost of Tsushima is even getting a PC port, but we can look at some trends and surmise that it's likely going to happen. It was also part of that partially correct, partially incorrect Nvidia PC leak from 2021.

Here are the games Sony currently has on PC/Steam:

• God of War (2018)
• Spider-Man Remastered
• Spider-Man: Miles Morales (out on November 18)
• Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection (Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy)
• Sackboy: A Big Adventure

Note that the earliest game is God of War, and it was released in January of this year. Yep, all of the above list launched in 2022. Sony is clearly serious about porting their biggest games to PC, and if Sackboy can make? the cut, a lot of other titles could too.

But Ghost of Tsushima, like many other open world games, would be incredible to mess around with on PC. I ?mean, just imagine the mods! And the graphical options! While it hasn't happened yet, I'm hoping we get some form of announcement in early 2023, perhaps via a State of Play. This feels like a sure thing at this point.

Sales show no sign of samurai slowdown

Sucker Punch Productions' acclaimed adventure title Ghost of Tsushima is edgin??g ever closer to the 10 million sales mark, having shifted a h?ugely impressive 9.75 million copies since its initial release in the summer of 2020.

The new sales figures are noted as part of a wider stat report released by the developer, which details the number of times wannabe samurais have indulged in some of the title's bloodthirsty, (and less bloodthirsty), activities over the course of the past two years. This period has seen an incredible 91.4 million Leg??ends Mode missions played, a stagger??ing 540.8 million Duels engaged, and �?perhaps the most amazing stat of all �?a huge 998.5 million pulse-pounding Standoffs.

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oj3TXsfTCs

Still, despite these bewildering sales numbers, the aforementioned stats are not the greatest Ghost of Tsushima milestones offered by the report. That title is bestowed upon the island's own Good Boys �?the foxes �?which have been petted by players 75.18 million times. This is perhaps the most relatable of all the statistics, as the foxes are one of the few activities on Tsushima island that provides respite from all the violence and bloodletting. Glory be to the foxes?. Here's hoping that they make an appearance in the upcoming film adaptation.

You can check out the full list of statistics in the tweet below. Ghost of Tsushima is available now on PS4, while Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut is availa??ble to purchase on PS5. This latter edition includes the Iki Island expansion, along with 4K visuals, improved load times, new filters, a Japanese lip-sync option, and support for DualSense capabilities.

Horizon coming to Netflix is next up in the long line of game adaptations

The video game adaptations to TV and film just don't stop coming, because Sony announced today that they're working in conjunction with Netflix to develop a Horizon Zero Dawn series. The news dropped today following Sony's 2022 business presentation to investors, and was initially reported by David Gibson, a notable video game analyst. While Sony didn't mention Horizon in the presentation documents, the slides did also me??ntion several other projects that they have in the works.

According to the presentation, Sony also has a God of War series in development with Amazon Prime, as well as a Gran Turismo pitch that they are currently working on developing. When you consider the Ghost of Tsushima movie that has already been announced, the Twisted Metal series that reportedly has an all-star cast attached, and the Last of Us show that is filming right now for HBO, Sony is poised to take over streaming platforms with their gaming p??roperties.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO and chairman Tony Vinciquerra said that in addition to these projects, they also have "10 more PlayStation titles in various stages of development for film and TV." 10 more? Seriously? I don't know guys, maybe let's start with what we have before we go all-?in on this one.

I can't help but th??ink Sony is biting off a bit more tha?n they can chew here.

Horizon Zero Dawn is a decent choice for a Netflix series considering it's one of the more cinematic games in Sony's lineup, but that has never been a guarantee before. The recent Uncharted movie was a moderate succes??s at the box office, but other than that, vide??o game adaptations have yet to prove themselves in the mainstream.

Unless the creativ??es behind these projects really start nailing down the magic of what a good game-to-TV/film adaptati??on looks like, Sony could be looking at a whole lineup of series and films that are just okay at best.

I have faith that they'll get it together eventually, but until they prove me wr??ong, I think I'll just? stick to playing their games instead of watching them.

"We aren’t actively working on any additional patches at the moment"

Ghost of Tsushima support has seemi?ngly come to a close, based on a statement from developer Sucker Punch's own patch notes.

At the very bottom of the rundown for patch 2.18, the studio put out the following statement:

"While we aren’t actively working on any additional patches at the moment, we will continue to monitor feedback on the community??-run Gotlegends subreddit and m??essages sent to @SuckerPunchProd on Twitter for any high priority bugs or issues that emerge"

Sucker Punch thanks fans for playing, saying they did not expect to "have such an active community more than a year and a half later." This is amid a heap of fixes for Legends, as well as sev?eral small?? single-player alterations.

I have to say, it's been a fantastic run. Not only did we get a good amount of content updates and quality of life patches, but we also saw the release of the Legends multiplayer component, and a full expansion. At this point it's safe to say that Sucker Punch is likely working on their next game: whether that's something completely new, or a follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima, or potentially both, in a preliminary fashion.

I might be the only one asking, but how about a new Sly Cooper?

Director's Cut encourages fresh sales spike

During its CES 2022 conference, Sony noted that Sucker Punch's excellent samurai adventure Ghost of Tsushima has surpassed eight million total sales since its release in the summer of 2020.

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc4_dXjkCl8

While the stoic adventure title had already won over a passionate and dedicated audience during its launch period �?ultimately surpassing five million sales by November 2020 �?the launch of Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut for PS4 & PS5 has encouraged a new army of players to take up their sword ag??ainst the Mongol army and its ruthless leader, Khotun Khan. The Director's Cut includes an additional gameplay chapter, as well as support for PS5 features such as Haptic Feedback, Adaptive Triggers, 3D audio, and 4K visual resolution,

Since its launch, Ghost of Tsushima has been the recipient of numerous industry awards and GOTY nominations, and is even being adapted into a live-action movie, currently in production at Sony Pictures' recently established PlayStation ??Productions. While some found fault with the title's open-world nature �?which encourages a grind of subquests �?Sucker Punch's epic adventure was widely heralded for its satisfying combat, engaging storytelling, and stunning visual design.

Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut is available now on PlayStation platforms.

Look in your journal

Whenever an expansion is released for a game, I kind of panic. Some titles annoyingly make you level up to take on new content, or force you into specific requirements. Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut is thankfully painfully simple in this aren??a: get to Act 2, then access the new zone of Iki Island. Here's a quick rundown.

So when you log into your game, so long as you've gotten to Act 2, you'll get the prompt to enter Iki Island. Here's what it looks like:

You may have noticed a trophy po?pping. Yep, this game will do that for a while! Just ignore it while you move to the next step.

??So from here, you've confirmed that you have the Iki Island content. Go to your journal and find the special heading for "Tales of Iki." That's the listing you'll want to click on.

Once you're there, s?elect "Journey into the Past." It's the first quest of the Iki Island line, and actually takes place on the m?ain continent. In case you need a refresher/want to log in somewhere close, here's the location:

Without spoil?ing anything, this first quest sets the tone for the DLC, including the introduction of a ??new enemy type.

After you've dealt with the first mission, ?you'll get a prompt to enter a boat, which takes you to Iki Island proper. Good luck!

Welcome to Iki Island

I'm always looking for an excuse to return to Ghost of Tsushima. The multiplayer "Legends" mode managed to lure me like a siren's song for just a bit, but ultimately, I'm a sucker for big beautiful open worlds. Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut did the trick.

For clarity, this review primarily deals with the new zone (Iki Island), as well as some Director's Cut-specific additions.

Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut (PS4, PS5 [reviewed])
Developer: Sucker Punch
Publisher: Sony
Released: August 20, 2021
MSRP: $59.99/$69.99

Let's cut (ha, with a katana, and the director's cut, look at that) to the main event: Iki Island. So this thing is about as long as the third act, which is fairly substantial. It's going to take roughly five hours to finish with some messing around time, 10 or more to fully complete. A full act is good! I didn't expect a new storyline with an additional threat that's mostly justified and tied neatly into the main course.

These sorts of gaidens are always super hard to figure out. "Oh so X superpower was actually around the entire time but we never knew about it? Sure!" But Sucker Punch attempts to legitimize the tie-in here, and I think it's mostly going to go over well with f?ans. Without spoiling much, Jin is embroiled in a new conflict on Iki Island with what is essentially a shamanistic mystical Mongol faction. It starts with the typical mysterious enemy trope, but quickly morphs into a natural foundation of the narrative. Jin has unfinished business on the island, and a family history that we see unfold as the DLC progresses.

It's legit. We get full cutscenes and more insight into Jin as a character, which should satisfy all o?f the people who felt like he was a wet paper bag in the core game. Iki Island, as described by several inhabitants on the mainland, is a haven of "raiders and bandits who hate samurai," so Sucker Punch cleverly is able to reboot the "build your legend" level-up meter to cater to the DLC. Kudos to them?? for solving the "why doesn't Mega Man keep all his powers after each game" issue.

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBrAlSKqdAE

The shaman theme is paramount throughout the DLC too, with strong "Scarecrow from the Batman Arkham" series vibes. You're probably going to guess where it's going an hour or so in though, as there's some real on-the-nose hints and the narrative doesn't really push itself from a layered perspective. I??t's nice to get more of an introspective look at Jin, but it's not breaking any barriers.

It can get a little tropey, especially as Jin's visions keep popping up a little too often, but the missions are on point and kept me invested in the new quest. Making it an island is kind of a stroke of genius, as there isn't that temptation to go to old areas: you're mainly ?forging ??forward. Still, the island can feel small in comparison, and more limited in terms of what you can do (but also less bloated in many ways).

About that! In terms of what Iki Islan?d has to offer beyond the core story, you're getting animal sanctuaries, archery challenges (which are fun as you're timed, so you can't just pull the bow back as far as you can for each target), and a horse charge mechanic. The latter is extremely arcadey and a ton of fun, and should sate folks that felt like the game was a little too grounded and didn't go out of the box with its combat system. Since you're not using it all the time, it's not too over-the-top, either.

That said, I'm thankful that system still exists. It felt natural to slip back into the multi-stance nature of sword-fighting. At first I was extremely nervous that it would take me a while to pick everything back up, but by the first fight my muscle memory kicked in and I was swapping stances like a champion.  Ghost of Tsushima still looks incredible and plays great. The previous mesh of stealth and action are both facilitated in the new zone, with plenty of opportunities for both. And with?? near-instant loads on PS5, it was fun to hop around places and hit all of the landmarks.

In case you're curious, I was able to transfer over my PS4 save in no time. From the transfer main menu option to get??ting in my actual save took around 30 seconds. So there's a few extra features the Director's Cut bestows upon people. In addition to a digital mini art book/director's commentary video and a few minor skin/item bonuses, the PS5 edition also runs at dynamic 4K with 60 FPS (yep, I noticed!), with DualSense haptic feedback (mainly when pulling items with your grappling hook or shooting a bow), 3D audio (wonderful for thi??s game, especially given the wind and leaf sounds of the outdoors), and lip sync for Japanese voiceovers (lovely for those who don't dig the dub). The 3D audio is a boon for discovering enemies that need to be taken out first and make a distinct noise.

Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut is now the definitive version of an alre?ady great game; and although the DLC does feel like too much of a companion piece at times, it doesn't feel tacked-on in the slightest. If you're keen on experiencing the game from the ground up, this is the way to do it going forwar?d.

Add a little competition to your cooperation

Ghost of Tsushima has a Director's Cut on the way, but it's not just the single-player side getting an update. Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, the samurai game's multiplayer component, is also getting some updates, including a stand?alone releas?e.

Ghost of Tsushima: Legends went live back in October, after the launch of Ghost of Tsushima, adding a co-op multiplayer mode to the game. It turned out to be a bit of a hit, or at least a draw for people even if they didn't like the single-player side of Ghost of Tsushima.

Today, Sony and Sucker Punch announced that Ghost of Tsushima: Legends will be getting its own standalone release, separate from Jin Sakai's adventure. The standalone Legends will be available on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 for $19.99, and with the exception of some cosmetics that can only be unlocked through single-player, it will be the same version of the game that Ghost of Tsushima owners will have.

Legends standalone buyers will be able to upgrade to the Director's Cut of Ghost of Tsushima later on as well, for a price of $40 for the PS4 version or $50 for the PS5 version. The standalone version will launch on Sept. 3, alongside the new Rivals mode.

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCgjNK8etz8

Rivals is the new competitive mode, where two teams compete to defeat waves of enemies and collect Magatama to spend on harming the other team. It's a little like the old Warcraft III custom maps, whe??re two teams compete in PvE fights while also sending hazards and challenges to the other ??team, trying to be the last one standing.

There will also be a new Gear Mastery system, requested features from the Legends community that will start rolling out on Aug. 20, and weekly content from Sept. 10 through Oct. 1. This includes a new Rivals map, Survival maps inspired by the Iki Island expansion, and the Trials of Iyo. Check out the PlayStation blog posted today for more details.

Between the expansion and the new Legends content, there's a lot of Ghost of Tsushima in store for the future. The Legends content will start rolling out over the coming weeks leading up to the Sept. 3 date, while Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut arrives on Aug. 20, 2021.

Where eagles dare

Ghost of Tsushima is getting its ?Director's Cut next month, and that includes a new expansion. In it, Jin Sakai will set off for Iki Island, and today, we got a good look at what's in store for Jin?? when he gets there.

As part of Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut, you'll get a chance to visit the new location Iki Island, home to new character??s, tales, and of course, some more enemies to fight. A Mongol tribe has arrived on the island, led by Ankhsar Khatun. Or rather, as her followers call her, the "Eagle."

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBrAlSKqdAE

She is both a khatun and a shaman, and she brings some new dangers to t?he party. To fight her forces, Jin will ??get to learn some new techniques and gain some new allies, as well as explore new legends and tales.

In the PlayStation Blog today, Sucker Punch describes the semi-fictional version of Iki Island in the Director's Cut as a "sta?rk contrast" to Tsushima. It's wild, inhabited by folks who live outside the law, and it's independent. The samurai have not been in control of Iki for decades by the time Jin gets there.

So this means probably working with some less-than-honorable types, which honestly, sounds pretty alright. Pirates and smugglers should ??be a nice change of pace in travelling companions.

Ghost of Tsushima only launched last year, but this Director's Cut version will bundle together the base game and the Iki Island expansion. There's also a direct upgrade option if you own Ghost of Tsushima already.

It's another Sony exclusive to get a Director's Cut treatment too, as Kojima Productions' Death Stranding is also due to get a Director's Cut version on Sept. 24, 2021. (Kojima doesn't seem too thrilled with the terminology, however.)

Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut will hit PlayStation 4 and PlayStat?ion 5? on Aug. 20, 2021.

PlayStation legends celebrated in Sucker Punch's samurai epic

This weekend saw the fantastic period adventure Ghost of Tsushima celebrate its one-year anniversary. To mark the occasion, developer Sucker Punch has "re-enabled" a selection of previously?? limited character skins, spotligh??ting a who's who of beloved PlayStation franchises.

Headed to your wardrobe are returning outfits referencing Sony Santa Monica's God of War, Guerilla Games' Horizon Zero Dawn, Team Ico's evocative Shadow of the Colossus, and finally FromSoftware's dark RPG, Bloodborne. Previously only available for a short period in December, the skins can now be acquired in-game by completing Legends Story or Survival missions with each class option. Who knows how long they'll be sticking around for this time, so go get 'em.

In addition to the returning skins, Sucker Punch also took the time to release a slew of statistics pertaining to Jin Sakai's violent yet oddly tranquil journies. In the past 12 months, Ghost of Tsushima players engaged in over 333 million duels, summoned over 60 million spirit dogs, and seen steel clash with steel in almost 680 million standoffs. Most importantly of all of the statistics, howe??ver, is the reveal that 55.63 million foxes have been petted. Good work, everyone.

You can celebrate the Ghost of Tsushima anniversary event right now on PS4. If you can hold off on one more month, then an expanded "Director's Cut" launches on PS4 and PS5 August 20, bringing with it new equipment and weapons, additional enemies, a new island, and all previously released DLC. The new content will be offered to current Ghost of Tsushima players in a pa?id expansion. A perfect way to celebrate the anniversary of one of PlayStation's finest-looking an??d most emotionally engaging adventures.

Target lock-on is coming in a free update along with new accessibility options

Whether or not you're interested in the Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut (a paid upgrade coming August 20), you may want to keep tabs on ??the base game anyway. A few fan-requested features, including a target lock-on in combat, will show up in a free update.

As Sucker Punch's Andrew Goldfarb notes on the PlayStation Blog, everyone who owns Ghost of Tsushima �?the Director's Cut or otherwise �?can expect a free update with "some new accessibility options for alternate controller layouts," "the option to enable a target lock-on during combat," and "an option to hide your quiver during gameplay."

It sounds as if this particular update will be out "alongside" the Director's Cut.

At a certain point, even if I would've originally liked a lock-on, I just grew accustomed to how Ghost of Tsushima handles combat and the ways in which enemies tend to come after Jin. It felt appropriately balanced as it was (until I got too powerful too early; but that's what difficulty options are for!). That said, I'll take a lock-on, thanks. It's never too late.

Know what else I'll take? More content for Ghost of Tsushima: Legends �?the pretty dang great demon-slaying PvE mode is getting "some new updates, including an all-new mode that we're ?excited to detail in the weeks to come." This stuff will also be free.

As for the Director's Cut upgrade, as a platinum-trophy-haver, I can't say with confidence that I need even more Ghost of Tsushima in my life in 2021. At the very least, if I'm willing to spend the $30 to upgrad??e to the PS5 edition next month, I'll just want to transfer my save file and make a beeline for the Ik?i Island region. I do not have a full replay in me.

At any rate, it's awesome to see this late-PS4-life-cycle game t????hrive all over again.

A Director's Cut for PS4 and PS5

[Update: And here it is! Sony has officially announced the Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut for PS4 and PS5. There are PS5-specific enhancements "like DualSense haptic feedback, Japanese lip sync, and more." That includes the Legends co-op mode, as well as the Iki Island expansion?, with a new island, more story, additional enemies, and other content/equipment. The expansion will also launch on PS4. You can find the trailer below!

It's out on August 20 for $59.99 on PS4 and $69.99 on PS5. If you already own Ghost of Tsushima, you c?an upgrade to the Director's Cut for $19.99 on PS4 or $29.99 on PS5.]

It begins! Sony, like many other publishers, loves to capitalize on its successes with re-releases and Game of the Year editions. Enter Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut, which assuredly exists thanks to a full listing from the ESRB.

So it's pretty cut and dried, with a full rating summary of the original release; but there's at least one curious element here. The Director's Cut listing notes "PS4 and?? PS5" (the game is currently just available on PS4 with a PS5 upgrade) and "in-game purchases" is denoted for just PS4. As usual this could be a misnomer, but it's something to watch out for. The name "Director's Cut" is so fitting, as the team wore their hearts on their sleeve in terms of their adherence to Kurosawa's film catalog.

In my original review, I hoped that this game would catch on like wildfire so that Sucker Punch would get the recognition it deserved. I mean, the Sly Cooper series slaps, but it was high time they stopped being the "Infamous studio" for five years running. Ghost put them back on the map and I hope?? we see more projects from them more of??ten going forward.

Only Spider-Man beats it

Not finishing games you bough?t is a foreign thought to me, but it happens often!

I mean you're? probably thinking to yourself: "I rarely fin?ish games!" And data would support you, friend.

Based on a new trophy-scouring report from UnGeek, Ghost of Tsushima is one of the most-finished open world games on the PlayStation plat?form, but it still only clocks in at a 50.2% completi??on rate (for the main story). Before you react, that's actually pretty high!

The report looked at many other open world titles of the modern era, and found that only Marvel's Spider-Man beat out Ghost with a 50.8% completion rating. Assassin's Creed Origins was below it at 38.2%, followed by Far Cry 5 (36.7%) and Days Gone (34.7%). You can find the full list below.

In many ways, Ghost of Tsushima's quality speaks for itself in terms of why it was able to hook so many people. It's certainly a more involved and longer game than Spider-Man, which makes?? ?its completion stat all the more impressive.

Why wouldn't they do it at this point?

It's safe to say that Ghost of Tsushima has been a resounding success in jus?t about every respect.

It's become a critic and fan favorite of this past generation; and it sold well. What's not to like, when you're Sony? That's exactly why we might be seeing more of it. After all, Sucker Punch is no stranger to multiple sequels for several of their own franchises; they just came off of five inFamous games before Ghost lit up. So what's fueling the speculation? A new job listing.

Right on Sucker Punch's site, it's for a? "Design - Combat Designer" position, with the following description: "Sucker Punch games focus on strong and innovative player abilities mixed with rich storytelling and challenging encounters. As a Combat Designer, you’re in the middle of this, creating the glue for content and systems, helping create a cohesive and exhilarating experience."

While this could be for any game, one specific passage hints that it might be a Ghost sequel: "Must have played Ghost of Tsushima and understand its core combat systems." Boom? It'll probably take a few years to see if this pans out, but for now,?? we can obviously assume that Sucker Punc??h is hard at work on their next title.

Crowdfunding campaign rescues ancient Torii gate

Fans of PS4 release Ghost of Tsushima have helped successfully raised the capital needed to repair a real-life landmark tha??t features in Sucker Punch's period adventure title.

A part of the ancient Watatsumi Shrine located on Tsushima island, the Torii gate was severely damaged by a typhoon back in September 2020, and currently lies in a sad heap, half-submerged in sand and water. In efforts to rescue the landmark, a crowdfunding campaign was founded on Japanese website Camp-Fire, hoping to raise the mone?y necessary to rescue, transport, restore, and then rebuild the gate, which stands as ??a tribute to Shinto sea goddess Toyotama-hime.

As word of the fundraiser spread online, Ghost of Tsushima fans caught wind of the campaign began to offer their own donations toward the restoration project, with the crowdfunder closing out this past weekend at around ¥27 million, (or roughly $260,000 USD), five times that of the original goal. The founders of the project thanked the Ghost of Tsushima community for its generosity, and noted that some of the campaign's highest donors will be recorded on a?? nearby stone monument.

Stories ?such as these are always the most pleasing to come out of gaming. As I've noted before, the medium is often lambasted for its negative aspects, but rarely heralded for its positive ones. Thanks in part to the generosity of video game fans, a small piece of history has been rescued from the brink of oblivion, and will allow the gates of Watatsumi Shrine to return to their former glory, standing proud for generations to come.

Animal Crossing was second

We're at the point in 2020 where we're celebrating the best of the best (or the worst of the worst!). I??t's an interesting time for takes, an??d that includes this recent, and interesting, "Best of 2020" award from Famitsu.

The outlet, using their influence, managed to corral 132 game developers, as well as gaming celebrities ("voice actors" is a descriptor used, but a few illustrators and entertainers voted) to choose the best titles of 2020. As they point out, Death Stranding took 2019's top honors, with Marvel's Spider-Man nabbing? the award in 2018: so the winner doesn't have to ?be a Japanese studio.

This year, interestingly enough, a game about Japan by a western studio took it: Ghost of Tsushima. In second place was Animal Crossing: New Horizons, followed by Final Fantasy VII Remake, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, and Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout.

You can check out t?he full rundown here, which pub??licly lists the folks involved with the process (with studios from Arc System Works to Square Enix participating).

The post Fami?tsu asked a bunch of developers what the b?est game of 2020 was, and they picked Ghost of Tsushima appeared first on Destructoid.

Ghost of Tsushima

2020 was another memorable year for Pl?ayStation, to the point where, at least for some of us, there wasn't necessarily a clear-cut list-topper – more like a few "favorites" to rattle off and reflect on.

That said, one game, in particular, resonated with a lot of players. One game really clicked.

If the critical and ongoing commercial success of Ghost of Tsushima is any indication, there was a huge untapped audience waiting for a talented studio to sit down and craft a tight open-world samurai adventure. That crew ended up being Sly Cooper's own Sucke?r Punch Productions, and while the game took longer than fans probably expected, it nailed the concept on the first try. I'm pretty convinced we'll get a sequel and it'll move things forward, but as is, this was a fantastic starting point?? for a series.

Ghost of Tsushima didn't materialize out of nowhere – it owes a lot to the open-world games that came before – but there's an art to collating the best ideas and building on them in big and small ways. This is a familiar romp in many respects, but at the same time, it feels uniquely identifiable. It's built just so.

Racing down picturesque foo?thills on horseback, perfecting my ideal armor-clad fashion, picking off burly soldiers one by one in a fortified camp behind enemy lines, dueling with an imposing figure against the howling wind – there were so many moments to apprecia??te in this game. And if you missed it back in October, the free Legends multiplayer expansion is worth investing time in. It's shockingly robust.

I'm thankful Ghost of Tsushima i??s not only a PS4 game, but a PS4 game that ?plays and runs as well as it does. It's a fitting swan song for this console generation – a culmination and a transition all at once.

Great games converge on another great game

You already look stylish when you're slicing and dicing in Ghost of Tsushima, doubly so when you're hacking away in black-and-white mo?de. Add to the aesthetic by infusing your samurai warrior with Kratos, just as Kurosawa intended.

Sucker Punch has brought some of PlayStation's all-time great games to Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, the co-op focused multiplayer mode (that's surprisingly really good). Until January 15, you can unlock outfits from Bloodborne, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Shadow of the Colossus. Images of all four are in the gallery below.

Each costume is tied to a different class; complete a single story or survival mission to unlock the costume of whichever class you played as. For example, clear a mission as the Hunter to earn Aloy's outfit. Kratos is the Samurai, Aloy is the Hunter, Shadow of the Colossus is the Assassin, and Bloodborne is the Ronin.

New looks from some of PlayStation's heaviest hitters. It won't be long until future games get Ghost of Tsushima skins. It's that good. It's just a shame that Sucker Punch couldn't find a way to shoehorn an inFamous outfit in. I??'d play as Delsin, the beanie-wearing samurai.

Its fiercest competition was The Last of Us Part II

The polls are closed, and Sucker Punch's samurai action game took the Players' Voice award at The Game Awards. Ghost of Tsushima faced tough competition from The Last of Us Part II – Sony really showed up this year – but its cozy open-world vibe beat out Naughty Dog's harrowing storyte??lling.

I had not-so-secretly hoped that Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us Part II would essentially cancel each other out in the final round and help Hades bubble up to the top, but it wasn't meant to be.

They're all great games in their own right, and the same can be said of Doom Eternal and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the two other titles that made it to the end. Talk about a wide spread of experiences.

Ghost isn't my game of the year (I felt like Jin's journey lost steam at points), but I can see how a case could be made for it. The awesome Legends co-op mode brightened my outlook, and the game resonated with a lot of players – it was the "fastest-selling first-party original PS4 game."

We'll find o?ut what the jury voters ultimately landed on this Thursday during Th??????????????????????????e Game Awards.

Where would you want a sequel to go?

In case you needed more affirmations that Ghost of Tsushima was a big success for Sucker Pu?nch Productions and Sony, here's an updated sales figure: five million copies since launch day on? July 17.

#GhostofTsusima is our fastest-selling first party original PS4 game with more than 5 million copies sold since its debut in July. What an incredible achievement by @SuckerPunchProd!

— Hermen Hulst (@hermenhulst) November 12, 2020

As for what those sales actually mean, in a tweet today, head of PlayStation Worldwide Studios Hermen Hulst once again called Ghost of Tsushima the "fastest-selling first-party original PS4 game."

"We're thrilled and absolutely blown away by all of the support," said Sucker Punch.

I wrapped up Jin's journey wanting a sequel, and those feelings were only cemented by the free post-launch multiplayer Legends mode that leans into th??e supernatural, fun loot, and new mechanics.

Sucker Punch invested so much energy into Ghost of Tsushima that it's hard to imagine the studio will suddenly move onto something new, especially in light of the game's ongoing commercial success. The inFamous series branched out in unexpected ways, and? I'm hoping history will repeat itself.

Apart from a potential sequel, I wouldn't mind seeing even more of Lege??nds – it's that good.

The Tale of Iyo doesn't have matchmaking, unfortunately

Sucker Punch Productions' co-op Legends mode in Ghost of Tsushima blew me away, and I think that's going to be the consensus going forward as more players – even folks who don't typically go for this sort of multiplayer side offering – dig into the free update. Here's what's coming up on the roadmap.

As promised early on, the first raid, The Tale of Iyo, isn't far off – it will be released on October 30. That said, Legends players won't be able to waltz in with an under-powered crew made up of randoms. The "absolute minimum" Ki gear requirement is level 100, and the raid won't have matchmaking, meaning we'll need to form our own groups ahead of time. I can't say I'm surprised, but I am bu?mmed. LFG it is!

[Update: The Tale of Iyo is split into three chapters and it'll be accessible at 3:00 p.m. on October 30.]

For the rest of us who are nowhere near that Ki power ?level yet, there will be a Nightmare-tier Story and Survival mission to check out ever??y Friday starting at 8:00 a.m. Pacific with "weekly modifiers" to spice them up. "They'll be very difficult, but if you and your fellow Ghosts are able to complete them along with all bonus objectives, you'll get max-level gear that will help you become Raid ready."

Sucker Punch also announced?? a patch that's going out today with fixes for network errors, crashes, and a tutorial glitch. There's also now support for PSN's "Player's Met"?? feature in Legends.

This is the gift that keeps on giving. I'll probably still be playing it by the time the PS5 is out. I feel like I've only scratched the surface with my main (the Hunter) by playing?? through every mission at least once, and it's a testament to the quality of Legends that I not only want to get back in there to tackle the Silver and Gold challenges, but I want to do so with the three other character classes, too.

Every Ghost of Tsushima player should try to play these Story missions at the very least??.

Let's get your morning hype fires kindled

Sucker Punch Productions has opened a new job listing on its corporate website, which ?has, unsurprisingly, already set tongues wagging with excitement at the mystery project.

The studio is looking for a new narrative writer, and specifically asks that ideal candidates have "AAA open-world experience" as well as a "desire to write stories set in feudal Japan." Knowledge of feudal Japanese hi??story is also listed as a positive boon.

While this listing is obviously no outright confirmation of anything in particular, it's hard not to get excited about the obvious outcome: Sucker Punch is in the pre-production stages of a Sly Raccoon s?equel set in 12th century Kyoto. That's my takeaway and I'm sticking to it. Let's go, s??amurai Carmelita!

The free co-op mode makes a phenomenal first impression

I hope you still have Ghost of Tsushima installed? on your PS4. If not, queue that download.

Earlier today, Sucker Punch released Legends �?a co-op mode with two-player story missions and four-player wave-based survival maps, both of which make fantastic use of Ghost's sneaky combat. Best of all, it's free. If you own the game, you can download update 1.1, load up Legends from the main menu, burn through a few "remember how to play?" tutorials, and start qu??euing w?ith your warrior of choice.

As someone who stuck with ranged combat as much as possible in the camp?aign, I initially went with the Hunter over the Samurai, Ronin, or? Assassin. You'll be able to unlock all four classes eventually �?Legends really leans into its loot and XP-based progression �?but make sure you pick whoever strikes your fancy. That said, while they all have their specialties, they don't feel dramatically different at first.

Everyone can use ranged and melee attacks, and much of Jin's toolkit carries over from the main game, albeit split across class-based ability trees and equippable Charms and Ghost Weapons that you'll unlock as rewards for clearing objectives. The actual loot (and its ensuing "Ki" power level) is mostly shared across the four classes �?a design choice I adore �?but each arche??type levels up independently.

I had only planned to play a few �?not all! �?of Legends' nine co-op story missions before sharing my impressions. Unlike the side quests in the main Ghost of Tsushima campaign that began to grow stale as early as the second island region, none of these outstayed their welcome. One miss?ion had me watching lightning to locate and dispatch ghost warriors. Another involved powering up my katana with color-coded energy. My favorite level let me and a co-op buddy sneak around several ships at sea.

These stories are fully narrated, they only take about 15 minutes to clear, they're broken into thr??ee well-paced parts (with quick torii gate transition scenes in between), and they're just big enough in scope to feel open-ended yet still playable with a random person online who isn't using a microphone.

While I'm not sure when I'll go back to play everything again on the higher difficulties (there's a bronze, silver, and gold-tier system with varying Ki power level requirements), I probably will make the effort. I had that much fun. There's something wonderful about taking out two guards simultaneously with a stranger or nailin?g a far-off headshot on a foe before they can stab your unaware pal in the back.

As a Nioh fanatic?, I'm also here for the loot. But don't let that scare you off if you aren't??.

Aside from ranking up to unlo?ck new (and alternate) class abilities, you'll need to spend a moment swapping in new gear items �?a katana, bow, Charm, and two Ghost Weapons �?as you earn them. Everything has a rarity tier and Ki level associated with it, and the best stuff has special properties or perks (which you can re-roll using currencies earned from playing and dismantling unwant??ed junk). If that sounds like Too Much, it honestly isn't �?the loot situation is pretty intuitive and manageable.

As for the survival missions, they aren't as inspired �?remember when every game had to have a mode like this? �?but they are? enjo?yable with even a decent-at-best group of players. Across 15 waves, some of which have beefy demon boys, you'll want to divide and conquer to defend multiple control points from being captured (or risk losing a chunk of your health bar for a limited time if you let them fall).

It's worth noting that you can go into Legends alone �?heck, you can even go in alone with photo mode enabled. In my experie??nce, the public matchmaking is super fast and the connections are reliable.

After spending an afternoon with the mode, I'm looking at my schedule and trying to find room to play more of it soon. Legends could've easily been a paid DLC pack �?and it would've been worth the money, too. The fact that it's free and there aren't microtransactions is just wonderful. I'm now at the point where I'll be sad if a potential sequel doesn't have co-o?p support. It fits this combat style perfectly.

Even if you burned yourself out on Ghost of Tsushima, don't skip Legends. This mode feels fresh.
