Jin Kasai is a legend. Some say he died on the beaches of Tsushima, repelling the first Mongol invasion of Japan. Others say he lived on, a one-man army, striking fear into the hearts of the invaders. The truth is for you to discover, as you play the island’s last surviving samurai as he tries to save it from devastation at the hands of the occupying army.
Ghost Of Tsushima is Sucker Punch’s love letter to Japanese cinema, and a culmination of the previous open worlds it created married to the mastery that only comes from working with PS4 for so many years. Here’s everything we know so far, and all the reasons you need to strap on your samurai armour.
NEXT-GEN BLOOD
It’s coming to PS4 – but it could straddle generations
Releasing this summer, Ghost Of Tsushima will be one of the last big-budget PlayStation 4 games – a culmination of everything the developer has learned about making games for the console over the years. Based on that alone, you can expect every droplet of power to be squeezed from the machine to create one of the most advanced games on the system. Also, it’s launching quite close to PS5’s ‘holiday 2020’ release date. If The Last Of Us’ PS3-to-PS4 remaster is anything to go by, might this be one of the earlier experiences we can try out again on the new hardware?

You’re the last samurai, facing incredible odds. The sort you can relish!
