03/07/21
Ghost of Tsushima fans (all five million of you and counting) it’s time to polish your Kunai and compose a navel-gazing haiku. Why? Because Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut is on its way of course. Announced for PS4 and PS5, this beefed up version of the game adds a whole new DLC story arc for samurai starved gamers to sink their katanas into. Those playing on Sony’s latest console will also get a raft of new technical features to play with.
Mass Mongol murderer, Jin Sakai, will travel to the nearby Iki Island to combat a rumoured menace. There will be new characters to meet, armour to gather and ‘events with deeply personal stakes’ to face. Prior to Ghost of Tsushima’s release, investigated the first Mongol invasion of Japan to try and ascertain the likely narrative direction of the finished game. Well, let’s do that again, this time exploring the real-life history behind Iki Island.
