About this deal

With its quasi-historical setting and its open world filled with activities and upgrades, comparisons to the Assassin’s Creed games are inevitable, so let’s not beat around the bush: Ghost of Tsushima is extremely reminiscent of many entries in the Ubisoft action franchise and other, similar open-world games, both in terms of its combat and its structure. If you like maps with a lot of icons on them offering up things to do, you’re going to be very happy with this game. PS4 game disc owners who buy the PS5 Digital Edition disc-free console will not be able to get the PS5 version for the discounted price. Such morally ambiguous heroes are commonplace, of course, but the particular weight of honor and tradition Jin bears allows Ghost of Tsushima to navigate this well-trodden territory in a way that feels distinctive and appropriate to the game’s setting. This is where things start to get a little complicated. As you can tell by that tweet, Ross is obviously somewhat upset that some are so eager to celebrate Ghost of Tsushima‘s sales success when (as he claims) members of the Bend Studio management team made him feel like Days Gone was a disappointment despite allegedly reaching a similar level of sales success.

I appreciated that Ghost of Tsushima took the time to make me feel attached to its characters, so that the stakes of what Jin and his allies are fighting for mean something. I enjoyed the honest, revealing conversation over bottles of sake between two comrades-in-arms the night before an overwhelming siege they knew they might not survive — almost as much as I enjoyed the battle itself. The Japanese translation of “divine wind” is “kamikaze.” During World War II, the Japanese government used the myth of the “divine wind,” a force many believed would protect the country from foreign invasion, as propaganda to recruit pilots for suicide missions during the Pacific campaign of the war. These pilots were also referred to as “kamikaze.” This Deluxe version features a swappable portrait that allows you to display Jin with or without the Ghost mask, as well as a hand switchout allowing you to recreate the epic video game cover art. We have taken the upmost attention to detail into bringing you our first Ghost of Tsushima statue. A true phenomenal masterpiece, this statue will be your favorite for years to come. Enjoy the prodigious feeling that the Ultimate Premium Masterline Jin Sakai will bring to your collection.We hope everyone is looking forward to these, and we’ll have much more to share as the year goes on! Thank you so much to all of you for your support. We can’t believe Ghost of Tsushima is nearly in your hands!

Official Ghost of Tsushima Action Figure Is All Kinds of Cool

Jin does what he feels he must to protect Japan from its would-be conquerors, and for it, he ultimately pays a heavy personal price. Ghost of Tsushima’s tale isn’t one of unambiguous victory or triumph. The samurai films of director Akira Kurosawa, after all, which Ghost of Tsushima expressly pays homage to, may be a lot of things — funny, thrilling, and often tragic — but they were never comforting stories with upbeat endings. The game’s flair for the dramatic also surfaces in the standoff, an option that’s available to you when you first approach a group of enemies. It’s essentially the equivalent of an Old West gunslinger duel, but with samurai swords. If you opt for it, Jin will call out to his foes, challenging them openly and alerting them to his presence. This is a world that, for better or worse — worse, if you ask me — lays itself out for you like a buffet crying out to be consumed. Everywhere you go, you’re liable to hear the telltale chirp of a golden bird, eager to lead you to yet another of the game’s hundreds of points of interest, where another collectible or another opportunity for incremental progress toward some upgrade awaits. If you’ve suddenly raised an eyebrow, you’re not alone. After all, how can Garvin insinuate that one of the reasons Days Gone didn’t get a sequel is because of sales (or revenue) shortcomings while Ross argues that the game did sell very well yet was treated internally as a disappointment? I also love the way Jin looks in his loose-fitting traveler’s attire as he moves across the landscape, his tattered cape blowing in the wind just so, as if he, too, is simply another part of the flow of life and death on the isle.Jin travels across the island of Tsushima, hoping to save it by gathering what few allies remain to aid him in his battles against a formidable enemy. Every year still — this is 700-odd years after the invasion — every year they have a festival, and they commemorate the great battle that took place on Komoda Beach,” Fleming said, who also elaborated on the difficulty of pinpointing what events in history actually happened versus what is a bit more open to interpretation in the texts of the time.

First, the team at Good Smile Company and Max Factory are working on a fully articulated Jin Sakai Figma. While we only have a sneak peek today, we can’t wait for this figure, which features posable joints, swappable heads with and without Jin’s Ghost mask, a cloth cape, and accessories including different sword kits and arrows. We love Figma and we’re excited to show off this early concept, but even more excited to share a more detailed look later this year! Samurai pride themselves on their honor code. But it also makes them rigid. Predictable. Easy to break. The Ghost has no limits. This makes him... dangerous." - Khotun Khan Though we see young Jin being taught that a samurai must control his emotions, he is thankfully no stoic hero. He remains open enough about his feelings that we understand how difficult the path that he follows throughout the game becomes for him. He’s assailed both from within, due to his belief that a samurai must conduct himself honorably at all times, and from without, due to the people he loves who still cling to those old ideas expressing their disappointment in his actions.I valued these quests not for the chance to fight yet another predictable battle, but for the insight they offered into these people’s lives and their philosophies. Particularly memorable are a few quests you can do with Yuriko, Jin’s childhood caretaker, now an elderly woman he has enlisted for her knowledge of poisonous flowers. Her quests offer an opportunity for reflection on memory, decline, and impermanence, and they tie in beautifully with the natural splendor of the island itself. And finally, the incredible team at Prime 1 Studio is hard at work on an absolutely stunning Jin Sakai 1:4 Scale statue. While we can only share this early concept with you today, rest assured that the detail here is truly awesome, with details including a fox and shrine, guide bird, and ginkgo leaves straight from the Golden Forest featured in the game. We can’t wait to share more of this one! Well, as it turns out, Ross’ initial suggestion that Days Gone had sold over 8 million units may not be entirely accurate.
