Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut includes a whole new adventure, which takes place on the island of Iki. But just how big is the Iki Island Expansion? Well, we asked creative director Nate Fox that very question in our big Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut interview, and we got a very promising answer.
"If you're familiar with Ghost of Tsushima, Iki Island is the size of, really, the first act of the main game, Izuhara," Fox told us. "It's a big, dense story with a lot of landscape and secrets to discover."
For context, Izuhara represents a huge chunk of the open world map in the main campaign, offering roughly 10 to 20 hours of story and side quests, as well as optional activities. More if you want to experience absolutely everything that the region has to offer.
So we're looking at a pretty big expansion, but obviously, being an open world game, your mileage may vary. As Fox says, "[Iki Island is] very similar in size to Izuhara, so... It's an open world game, so it depends on how you play it. If you want to beeline through any one particular narrative aspect of Iki Island it'll take different amounts of time. But the best example — just because it's an open world game — is to think of it like an act in Ghost of Tsushima."

Does anyone know if the Director’s Cut has a separate platinum?
Wished it was as big as the 2nd act. 10-20hrs is not enough tbh. Aug 20th need to hurry the F up!
@Mepics your platinum from the OG Got will carry over. I believe the iki dlc will have its own trophies for it.
Sounds absolutely awesome I absolutely can't wait to play this next month!
@BuGGy2DaB You say 10-20 hours for an expansion is not enough lol.SMH.
Sounds fantastic. Day one. No doubt. Ghost of Iki, they'll call me.
Act 1 was definitely my favorite act of the game, and it felt most diverse gameplay wise and environmentally compared to the later acts. Not sure if that was just the novelty wearing off though. Either way, looking forward to it.
I’m definitely in now and also with the PS5 upgrade, will be a good summer distraction as well.
Act 1 size sounds about right for $20.
While im buying the ps5 upgrade,i cant imagine how the native ps5 version will look when the ps4 version looked on ps5 amazing.
Well I was getting the $19 PS4 version, but at this point I might just go for the $29 PS5 version and call it a day.
I have a few open side quest I never finished.
So it will be 20-25 hours for me, which is good 😃
Damn, it took me roughly 20 - 25 hours to finish Act 1 on my first playthrough, so this is great news for me.
Haven't played it yet - purchased it recently for $30 - may be willing to pay $20 for the director's cut on PS4 before I start, will have to read up some more. PS5 is hopefully Christmas but don't think I want to wait that long.
@JustPlainLoco @wiiware 20-25 hours indeed sounds great, well worth the $20 for the expansion.
