Ghost of Tsushima anime series: Release window, platforms, everything we know
Aniplex/SonyGhost of Tsushima is getting the anime adaptation it deserves. Here’s everything we know about the series including when it comes out, where to watch it, and more.
Since its 2020 release, Ghost of Tsushima has cemented itself as a landmark PlayStation exclusive. Clearly, Sony recognizes its appeal because we’ve seen them greenlight a sequel in Ghost of Yotei, and fans of the game can look forward to an eventual live-action film helmed by John Wick Director Chad Stahelski.
With all that going on for Sucker Punch and their new darling franchise, you’d think they’d take a bit of a break. You’d be wrong of course, because they have another project in the works.
Announced at CES 2025, Ghost of Tsushima is getting an anime adaptation that feels like a no-brainer for the franchise. We’ve got all the pertinent details below.
What is the Ghost of Tsushima: Legends anime?
As the name suggests, the Ghost of Tsushima: Legends anime will be based on the game’s multiplayer mode known as Legends. For those unfamiliar, the mode takes a more mystical bent than the base game and focuses on four characters, the Samurai, Hunter, Ronin, and Assassin.
Given the upcoming anime is based on Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, you can expect it to incorporate the game’s unique visual style and tell a story surrounding these four heroes and their battle with the fearsome Oni. More concrete details about the series’ narrative are being kept under wraps at this early stage, however.
We do know that the Ghost of Tsushima: Legends anime will be helmed by Takanobu Mizuno in the role of Director. Mizuno is responsible for ‘The Duel’ from the Star Wars Legends anthology series which should excite fans of the medium.
