Did you happen to miss the news from late last week regarding a standalone expansion to the Ghost of Tsushima series, Ghost of Ikishima?
While it isn’t confirmed, I have two sources that say it be true. Now we have news today that the Brahs over at the ESRB have listed a rating for Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut for the PS5 & PS4!
For those of us who can’t read the small print:
This is an action game in which players assume the role of a samurai (Jin Sakai) on a quest for vengeance against Mongol invaders in 13th century Japan. Players traverse open-world environments, interact with characters, complete quests (e.g., assassinations), and infiltrate enemy strongholds. Players use samurai swords, poison darts, and arrows to battle enemies in third-person melee-style combat. Some attacks result in dismemberment/decapitation of enemy soldiers, often accompanied by large blood-splatter effects. Players can also perform assassination kills (e.g., neck stabbing, sword impalement) to dispatch enemies quietly. Cutscenes depict additional acts of intense violence: a soldier lit on fire and beheaded; bound civilians lit on fire and burned at the stake; a decapitated man’s head held up towards the screen. The game also depicts a man’s exposed buttocks as he bathes in a hot spring. The word “sh*t” appears in the game.
Could this ‘Director’s Cut’ include the rumored Ghost of Ikishima standalone expansion? Maybe. With all the other MAJOR PlayStation news hitting today, could this be the next bit of news? Stay tuned, ALL!
