Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut arriving in Southeast Asia in August

Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut has been announced as the first anniversary of the original game approaches. Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut will be available on both PS4 and PS5 on 20 August, coming with the original game, any additional content released to date, new features and a new adventure for Jin. The full details are available through the Playstation Blog.

Iki Island becomes open for a new chapter in Jin’s story. He is there to investigate rumours of a Mongol presence, but soon gets caught up in events with deeply personal stakes that will force him to relive some traumatic moments from his past. More details will be shared soon, but you can expect a new story, characters, environments, armour for both Jin and horse, mini-games, techniques, enemy types and of course, animals to pet. Associated trophies will also be available.

The PS5 will get exclusive features. Thanks to the console’s ability to render cinematics in real time, cutscenes on Iki Island will have lip sync for Japanese voice over. The base game, Legends and the Iki Island expansion will also have haptic feedback and adaptive triggers with the Director’s Cut. Additionally, there will be 3D audio, drastically improved load times, 4K resolution and framerates targeting 60 FPS.

You’ll be able to transfer your save file to the PS5 version and pick up where you left off. Newer players will be able to access Iki Island at the start of Act 2, upon arrival at the Toyotama region.

Director’s Cut aside, Ghost of Tsushima will have an update patch with new photo mode updates, accessibility options for controller remapping and enable target lock-on during combat. Legends likewise will have updates and a new mode with details to come.

Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut launches 20 August for SGD97.90 / MYR299 / IDR1,029,000 / THB2,290 / PHP3,490 on PS5 and SGD79.90 / MYR249 / IDR879,000 / THB1,990 / PHP2,990 on PS4.

In the late 13th century, the Mongol empire has laid waste to entire nations along their campaign to conquer the East. Tsushima Island is all that stands between mainland Japan and a massive Mongol invasion fleet led by the ruthless and cunning general, Khotun Khan. As the island burns in the wake of the first wave of the Mongol assault, samurai warrior Jin Sakai stands as one of the last surviving members of his clan. He is resolved to do whatever it takes, at any cost, to protect his people and reclaim his home. He must set aside the traditions that have shaped him as a warrior to forge a new path, the path of the Ghost, and wage an unconventional war for the freedom of Tsushima.
