This is so awesome: Ghost of Tsushima’s upcoming New Game Plus mode will include a new charm named Canine Recruitment, which will allow you to pet dogs and turn them into allies. That means that they’ll sniff out Mongols and attack them for you, giving you the perfect opportunity to strike. Be sure to say “Good boy” into your DualShock 4 controller for critical damage.
Spirit pups will also feature in co-op spin-off Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, and you’ll be able to conjure the canines into existence if you’ve got the right gear equipped. We enjoyed petting foxes in the core campaign, but this new ability is both cunning and cute, so gets a paw up from us.

Holy crap! How did I miss this announcement? This is amazing.
How is the subtitle not “give your enemies a ruff time“?
Sorry Hades and ff7r. This immediately becomes GOTY now.
@Jayslow But you can pet a three-headed dog in Hades. That’s like thrice the woof
@nessisonett definitely true but only one of the heads. Maybe when Hades inevitably gets its ps4 port we can pet all 3 heads. Clearly the lack of processing power of the switch prohibits full headpats of the best demon doggo.
@Jayslow One of the creators actually did explain why 😂😂
“Completely coincidental to this in-world justification, it incidentally does happen to be very difficult to make characters in our engine perfectly line up and interact,” said Kasavin. “If Cerberus’ two other heads enjoyed being petted, and it was necessary for us to express this in-game, then we would have had to spend many days of animation, rendering, and design bandwidth creating alternate interactions for those heads. Fortunately, Cerberus absolutely does not like having his two other heads petted, so we were able to use the time we otherwise would have spent on that on other significant features.”
@get2sammyb so this is only in new game plus?(and legends)
If so that kinda sucks.
@nessisonett Trust me, any man would make the effort to pet three heads together
This is awesome! Though imagine being able to make an army of foxes and doggos.
@doctommaso Goddamn it, I came here to say these exact words and you beat me.
My GOTY just got better!
Nice, I forget the patch is released today, I'm gonna update it now 😃
Edit: I though the patch is ready today
Can you really command the dog to do the critical attck by simply saying "good boy" into the controller?
@wiiware is it not next friday its out?
If i hadn't bought this game when it first came out i would be yelling "I'LL TAKE ALL OF YOUR STOCK" right about now.
Sounds a lot like what the Wolf Link amiibo did in BotW.
I bought a wolf Link amiibo just to use as a sidekick and it was worth it for the bad guy announcement bark and directional notification. Also cannon fodder on some of the harder enemies. Poor wolf Link, died so many times running head first into battle, but at least I ran away and survived.
@SuperSilverback Yeah, it's oct 11, not today
@vladimir6969
No, that was a joke. The DS4 has a speaker, but it doesn’t have a mic. Maybe they can implement that feature for the PS5 since the DualSense does.
Shame on you @get2sammyb
Shouldn't it read.. "give the enemies a RUFF time"?
