Representing our team, Asad Qizilbash, from PlayStation Productions, shared: “We’ve already shown the exceptional quality and adaptability of our gaming content across numerous successful movies and TV shows. We’re absolutely thrilled to share that we’re venturing into anime adaptation for the first time! The captivating environment and mythological elements of Ghost of Tsushima, particularly its Legends mode, make it an ideal choice for this project. Aniplex is the ideal collaborator to transform Sucker Punch Productions’ acclaimed video game into a breathtaking new anime series.

Rahul Purni, President of Crunchyroll, also discussed “Ghost of Tsushima: Legends”, highlighting that this project showcases the collaborative creativity within Sony’s family. It brings together the talent from PlayStation Studios and PlayStation Productions, Sucker Punch Productions and Aniplex, Sony Music’s renowned artists, and Crunchyroll’s worldwide marketing and distribution network focused on fans. This upcoming Ghost of Tsushima anime will provide fans with a thrilling new way to engage with the game, offering an anime-style experience that is both daring and innovative.

The series “Ghost of Tsushima” is a relatively fresh addition to PlayStation’s lineup of intellectual properties, developed by Sucker Punch Productions. The initial 2020 game centered around the story of lone samurai Jin Sakai as he battles the Mongols and contemplates whether to stick to the samurai code or adjust to the evolving nature of combat. A multiplayer mode titled “Ghost of Tsushima: Legends” allows you and your companions to assume the roles of samurai, fighting against numerous adversaries together. This year is expected to bring the release of “Ghost of Yōtei“, a sequel to “Ghost of Tsushima“. Set 329 years after the original’s events, it will follow a new female protagonist named Atsu and incorporate elements such as firearms, wolves, and transforming into ‘the Ghost’.

In 2027, it’s expected that “Ghost of Tsushima: Legends” will be available for viewing on Crunchyroll. At this time, neither the cast nor any additional crew members have been revealed. This upcoming venture is the second adaptation in progress for the game, as Chad Stahenski, known for his work on John Wick, is currently developing a movie based on “Ghost of Tsushima” as well.
