Ghost of Tsushima game confirms its anime

During Sony Group Corporation's CES 2025 press conference, the production of an anime adaptation for the video game “ Ghost of Tsushima ” was announced. This project will be titled “ Ghost of Tsushima: Legends ” and will air exclusively on Crunchyroll sometime in 2027.

For its part, “ Ghost of Tsushima ” is an action-adventure video game developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment . Released in July 2020 as a PlayStation 4 exclusive (later optimized for PlayStation 5), this title is set in feudal Japan during the Mongol invasion of 1274.

The story follows Jin Sakai, a samurai fighting to protect the island of Tsushima after Mongol forces led by the ruthless Khotun Khan ravage his homeland. Initially adhering to the samurai code of honor, Jin is forced to adopt stealthier and more lethal tactics—known as “ghosting”—to defeat a large and ruthless enemy. This internal conflict between honor and survival is one of the narrative pillars of the game.

Ghost of Tsushima Synopsis

The year is 1274. Samurai warriors are the legendary defenders of Japan, until the fearsome Mongol Empire invades the island of Tsushima, wreaking havoc and conquering the local population. As one of the last surviving samurai, you rise from the ashes to fight back. But honorable tactics won’t lead to victory. You must go beyond your samurai traditions to forge a new way of fighting – the Way of the Ghost – as you wage an unconventional war for Japan’s freedom.
