Ghost of Tsushima, one of the last major PS4 exclusives, is now just days away. Initially planned for June 26, Ghost of Tsushima was delayed and will now release this Friday, July 17–just one month after Sony’s other major game for the year, The Last of Us Part 2. Ahead of its release, PlayStation showed off around 18 minutes of new Ghost of Tsushima gameplay in its latest State of Play livestream on May 14, and we got an up-close look at the game’s open-world exploration, combat, stealth mechanics, character customization, and much more. It also has multiple pre-order bonuses and editions available to pre-order ahead of its release date.
Developed by Infamous series studio Sucker Punch, Ghost of Tsushima is an open-world action stealth game set in feudal Japan. You play as one of the only samurai to survive the Mongol invasion of the island of Tsushima in 1274. Your job is to sneak around, fight enemies, and take the island back.
Ghost of Tsushima gameplay first debuted in an E3 2018 trailer, giving us our first glimpse at its stunning world. Reminiscent of traditional samurai films, we see the protagonist, Jin, in the Otsuna Grassland. He squares off with three Mongol invaders to meet up with his ally Masako. Not only is the open world absolutely breathtaking, but the battles are also beautifully choreographed to fit into the picturesque beauty of feudal Japan.
In GameSpot’s Ghost of Tsushima review, senior editor Edmond Tran praised the game’s gorgeous open world and stylish combat but felt the mission structure of loops were dull, giving it a positive 7/10. “The game hits a lot of fantastic cinematic highs, and those ultimately lift it above the trappings of its familiar open-world quest design and all the innate weaknesses that come with it–but those imperfections and dull edges are definitely still there,” he wrote. “Ghost of Tsushima is at its best when you’re riding your horse and taking in the beautiful world on your own terms, armed with a sword and a screenshot button, allowing the environmental cues and your own curiosity to guide you. It’s not quite a Criterion classic, but a lot of the time it sure looks like one.”
In addition to the release date and story trailer, Sucker Punch released a slew of pre-order information for Ghost of Tsushima, including multiple special editions and pre-order bonuses. July 17 will be here before you know it, so read on for everything you need to know about pre-ordering Ghost of Tsushima.
