Ghost of Tsushima: A Samurai Quest

Ghost of Tsushima was developed by Sucker Punch Productions for Sony Interactive Entertainment. The decision to use open-world gameplay was made as the creators feel strongly that all choices should be made by the players. They have complete freedom to explore without the help or distraction of waypoints. At team development meetings, different settings and themes - pirates, Scottish outlaws, musketeers - were discussed before feudal Japan was settled upon. The vision was further developed by a historical account covering the Mongol invasion of Tsushima in 1274. This helps give the game its realistic background.

Jin Sakai, however, is purely a work of fiction. Throughout the development process, cultural experts were consulted to ensure both accuracy and to avoid unintentionally offending through cultural appropriation. Elements of gameplay were inspired by Sucker Punch's Infamous series as well as by Japanese Samurai films such as the iconic Seven Samurai of 1954. The game went into development in December 2015, was previewed in June 2020 and launched the following month.

Famitsu particularly praised its visuals and combat. Trusted Reviews see it as a homage to classic cinema while NME praised Ghost of Tsushima gameplay but felt the story was a little lacklustre. GamesRadar gives particular praise to the scenery but feels it takes a little too long to master combat skills.
