Ghost of Tsushima PS4 PlayStation 4 Digital Deluxe Edition FAQ Guide 3

Digital Deluxe Edition

The Digital Deluxe Edition comes with a few bonuses alongside the game. This version of GoT comes with the Hero of Tsushima set, which gives you "an additional in-game horse, saddle, mask, sword, and armor set for Jin". It will also reward you with a digital art book, director's commentary, another dynamic theme, and some in-game items.

This retail-exclusive version of the game is like the standard edition, only you'll also get "artwork featuring a custom print finish".

Collector's Edition

Ghost of Tsushima's Collector's Edition is pretty beefy. It comes packed with all the previous bonuses, plus a cloth map of the island, a war banner bearing the game's emblem, a furoshiki wrapping cloth, and a replica of Jin's mask.

Is there a Ghost of Tsushima special edition PS4 Pro console?

Sony has yet to confirm whether there will be any special PS4 hardware with custom Ghost of Tsushima styling. Given the company has done this for a number of its other games, we wouldn't be surprised if Sony had planned something similar for Ghost of Tsushima. However, given the state of things in 2020, this is looking relatively unlikely.

What is Ghost of Tsushima about?

Ghost of Tsushima is an open world action adventure set during the Mongol invasion of Tsushima Island. Taking place in 1274, the game tells the tale of Jin, a samurai who barely survives a battle with the Mongol army. In order to fight back, Jin adopts new strategies and develops new techniques to catch his enemies off-guard. He becomes known as the titular Ghost of Tsushima, striking fear into his foes from the shadows.

Is Ghost of Tsushima an open world game?

Yes. Ghost of Tsushima is an open world action game, and looks to play similarly to the likes of Assassin's Creed. We imagine you will be able to explore Tsushima Island freely, taking on missions, side quests, and more.

Will there be crafting in Ghost of Tsushima?

We've yet to see gameplay of this feature, but it's very likely that Ghost of Tsushima will have some sort of crafting system. We can easily imagine having to craft smoke bombs, arrows, and more during the adventure.

Will Ghost of Tsushima have multiplayer?

It is very safe to assume Ghost of Tsushima will be a purely single player experience. Sony hasn't ever mentioned multiplayer in relation to this game, and most of its PlayStation exclusives are strictly single player, story driven titles. Ghost of Tsushima is highly unlikely to include any multiplayer.

Can you play Ghost of Tsushima in Japanese?

Yes. Sucker Punch has confirmed that Ghost of Tsushima will have a Japanese audio track for a more authentic experience. You'll be able to play with English voice acting, or Japanese voice acting with English subtitles.

Is Ghost of Tsushima coming to PS5?

At this point, it's unclear. A PS5 version of Ghost of Tsushima seems likely considering the game is launching so closely to the next-gen console. However, we know that it will be possible to play the PS4 version on PS5 thanks to backwards compatibility. Our best guess is an enhanced PS5 release of Ghost of Tsushima will turn up later on. We will update this guide if and when we learn more.

Which developer is making Ghost of Tsushima?

Ghost of Tsushima is being made by Sucker Punch Productions. This is the team previously known for Sly Cooper and inFAMOUS.
