The recent State of Play broadcast focused solely on Ghost of Tsushima and brought a ton of new information. We have all the details rounded out below and more information will come at a later date:
Ghost of Tsushima is based in the real island of Tsushima, Japan. Mongols have invaded the territory and Jin, the main protagonist, fights to protect the land. Armed with katana and techniques of the Samurai, Jin traverses the land and follows the wind. When marking locations in the world, the wind will guide the player to that destination. Foxes may guide the player to hidden areas and locations as well. Fortunately, fast travel is available for all visited locations.
Jin’s playstyle is altered by his armor. Different armor and charms gives the player advantages across different combat scenarios. Fight with the way of the Samurai and call out to enemies, dueling and finishing them with sharp precise strikes. Fight with the way of the Ghost and use stealth to eliminate opponents. The choice is up to the player and customization seems boundless as even flowers may be used to change clothing pigment.
Various options to enhance the experience are available such as:
- Photo Mode
- Cinema Mode (black and white filter)
- Japanese voice overs with subtitles
