Ghost of Tsushima

The creators of the Sly Cooper franchise and Infamous shift gears with Ghost of Tsushima, an open-world action-adventure game. Set on the island of Tsushima, the invading Mongul armies arrive to begin their conquest of Japan. As Samurai fall in the wake of dishonorable war tactics, Jin Sakai learns that the only way to fight back will be to break expectations and walk the path of shadow. Jin will choose between the Samurai's righteous path and the Ghost's dark path. Players will traverse the sprawling island as they free citizens from invading rule and engage in fast-paced swordplay - or devastating stealth combat.
