In an attempt to thwart the oncoming invasion, Jin's comrades are overwhelmed and massacred, leaving Jin to haunt the Mongol invaders who took everything from
Sony's upcoming Sucker Punch-developed samurai story, likely one of the PlayStation 4's swan songs, is inspired by real events, but Ghost of Tsushima strays from history in a number of ways. Although Sucker Punch appears to have taken great care in nailing the game world's authenticity to real-life Japan, Ghost of Tsushima' s plot is, at least partially, purposely unfaith
Sony first lifted the veil on Ghost of Tsushima back at Paris Games Week 2017 with a short trailer that let us know the game would be taking place during the Mongol invasion of Japan. The game centers around a samurai by the name of Jin Sakai, but other details of the story and characters aren't really widely known just yet. On the gameplay front, all that Sucker Punch has opted to show us so far has been one demo at E3 2018 followed by another trailer that featured some more snippets of gameplay and a release window back at The Game Awards 2
The release window for Ghost of Tsushima comes from a trailer at The Game Awards . Just a few days ago, Sucker Punch teased that the game would get a new reveal at The Game Awards . Although it was known the game was going to be showed, it wasn't apparent just how much was going to be revealed. The good news is that there's plenty of new things to talk about when it comes to Ghost of Tsushima , as The Game Awards trailer is over four and a half minutes l
Along with a new trailer for the upcoming PlayStation 4 title Ghost of Tsushima , PlayStation has revealed the collector's edition version of the game, which fans will undoubtedly be dying to get their hands on. Developed by Sucker Punch Productions, the studio behind the PlayStation 2's Sly Cooper trilogy and the inFamous series, Ghost of Tsushima was originally revealed in October 2017 during Sony's Paris Games Week presentation and has been on fans' collective radar ever si
Aside from The Last of Us Part II , which will release on May 29th, Ghost of Tsushima is likely to be one of the last major PlayStation 4 exclusives, with the release of the PlayStation 5 set for the end of 2020. Following Sony's announcement that they would forego E3 yet again, and with no State of Play presentations currently announced, fans had begun to wonder when a release date or more information on the action-packed samurai title would emerge. Thankfully, today's new Ghost of Tsushima trailer gave those players exactly what they had been waiting
The trailer begins with a confrontation between a travelling Samurai and the man himself, The Ghost of Tsushima. Although it was ambiguous before as to whether or not The Ghost was the playable character, it now seems confirmed that he is. The narration throughout the trailer tells us that The Ghost is a mythic figure, one who many thought left for dead in a battle years ago. But The Ghost survived what many believed to be a terminal infliction and is now dedicated to avenging himself. If there was any doubt as to the graphical fidelity of Ghost of Tsushima , rest assured that should be squelched now. Last year, Sony Boss Shuhei Yoshida remarked on the impressive graphics in the game . It's no easy task for developers to keep visual fidelity high throughout development, especially when adding so many new features, textures and art assets into the g
While the PS4 has seen its fair share of sequels or reboots of older properties from PlayStation's past ( God of War , Infamous: Second Son, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End ), Sony has also brought about entirely new worlds and characters for us to fall in love with for the first time. In a time where many games that are released annually have started to feel a bit derivative and by-the-numbers, PS4 exclusives like Horizon Zero Dawn , Death Stranding , and Until Dawn have been some of the most captivating and enjoyable games for me on a personal level these past few years just because of how fresh they f
Sucker Punch is one of the most admired developers in the gaming industry, and perhaps best known for creating the Sly Cooper and Infamous series of games. In 2011, Sony purchased Sucker Punch to produce games exclusively for PlayStation. Sucker Punch has always worked within short development windows, with the longest period in between releasing games being four years. The length between the release of the Studio's last game Infamous First Light and the scheduled release of Ghost of Tsushima will be six years, prompting some to wonder if the game would be better off debuting on the PlayStation
