In 1274, the Mongol army invaded Japan, their first stop: Tsushima Island. In Ghost of Tsushima, you play as a battered samurai, fighting back against overwhelming odds.

In the trailer, you see the leader of the Mongols, a guy I would describe as an "uncomfortably reasonable killer" trying to intimidate our hero. It's all there, right in that little scene. The power and confidence of the Mongol Empire coming face to face with pure, lethal, samurai determination.

This brand-new trailer that delves deeper into the identity our hero is forced to adopt in order to save his home: The Ghost.

While Jin starts our game as a samurai, he’ll learn skills and adopt tactics that are decidedly not samurai-like, and you can get a small taste in the footage we revealed today. In the months ahead, we’ll learn more about Jin, the threats he faces, the allies that help him along his journey, and what he’ll have to give up to become this new kind of warrior.

The trailer includes some quick glimpses of the vibrant, diverse open world you’ll get to explore, but we’ve barely scratched the surface.

Ghost of Tsushima is scheduled for release on PS4 in summer 2020.
