Ghost Of Tsushima: True Story Behind The PS4 Samurai Game

Ghost of Tsushima looks to be properly mind-blowing, with each trailer boasting some of the most incredible visuals ever seen on the PlayStation 4 hardware. If Ghost of Tsushima is the final PlayStation 4 exclusive on Sony 's docket, it is shaping up to be a phenomenal swan song for the system – sporting a suitably fantastic Collector's Edition,

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

Ghost of Tsushima is based on the first Mongol invasion of Japan in 1274. In the real invasion, the Mongols' path took them first to Tsushima Island, located between Korea and the Japanese mainland. Under the command of Kublai Khan, Genghis Khan's grandson, the Mongols fought against a small army of Japanese warriors on Tsushima , led by the Sō daimyo family. The local warriors - overwhelmed by the Mongols' superior numbers and more advanced, gunpowder-fueled weaponry - were defeated, and the population was massacred. After leaving Tsushima, the Mongols continued their raids on Japan's nearby islands, but the invaders were eventually repelled when a typhoon destroyed much of their fleet in Kyushu, Japan. This storm later became known as the kamikaze ("divine wind") of 1274 (via Britannic

The highly anticipated PlayStation exclusive Ghost of Tsushima will release in the Summer of 2020.

But now developer Sucker Punch has confirmed the release window for Ghost of Tsushima will be Summer 2

The next shots show the ghost, Jin, approaching a camp full of Mongol soldiers with stealthy tactics. The game is going to allow the player to survey areas before striking enemies, as Jin is seen on top of structures. As was already shown off during the E3 2018 demo, Jin is capable of _ Assassin’s Creed _ -like assassinations, as he jumps off of rooftops and slams his sword into his oppone

When the flashback ends and Jin is left standing as the victor of the standoff with just one soldier left lying before him, he lets him go as a message. Before readjusting his samurai facial armor and heading off, he stands for one last glamour shot, with the trailer officially dubbing him the ghost. What is interesting to note is the potential implementation of facial armor as a game mechanic. If the samurai of feudal Japan used these masks to scare off enemies, then maybe masks in this game will play a similar role (besides defen

Ghost of Tsushima fictionalizes several elements of this history. For starters, Sucker Punch's Mongol army is led by the fictional Khotun Khan, and Tsushima's ruler is fictional, too - a man named Shimura. Events seen in Ghost of Tsushima's trailers indicate Shimura's battle with the Mongols goes just about as well as it did in real life, but it appears Shimura survives, and so does his nephew, protagonist Jin Sakai. Given he's the playable character, it's no surprise Jin forms the basis of Ghost of Tsushima' s largest departure from history. Rather than being a stand-in for an actual person like Kublai Khan, Jin is essentially a stand-in for 1274's kamikaze .
