Ghost of Tsushima shows it’s hard to stand united even against invaders

Developer Sucker Punch Production’s Ghost of Tsushima got a new gameplay trailer at Sony’s press event ahead of the Electronic Entertainment Expo. The open-world samurai game will be a PlayStation 4 exclusive.

Ghost of Tsushima is about the Mongol invasion of the island of Tsushima during Japan’s feudal period. In the trailer, we get a view of the Otsuna grasslands, a beautiful field of pale gold that would be idyllic if it weren’t for the dark storm clouds in the distance. As the hero Jin traverses it on his steed, he happens upon Mongols and his friend, Masako. The two journey on to rescue a monk who is being held captive in a nearby temple.
