Ghost of Tsushima will offer a new story and version for PS5 -apkrig
Sony has officially announced the title of Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut, which was discussed a few days ago in connection with the rating in the ESRB database. The game will arrive on PS4 and PS5 on August 20 and promises a brand new island of Iki and special improvements for a new console from Sony, including support for haptic feedback on the DualSense or lip sync driver for Japanese dubbing, which the original game did not have.
According to Sucker Punch Productions, the authors thought a lot about how to expand the protagonist’s story and went through the reactions of the players to help them improve the whole experience. The result is a completely new edition of the successful game, which comes not only with a new chapter, but also with new features that are directly based on some of the most common wishes of the community.
The director’s version will, as already mentioned, arrive on the current and previous PlayStation and will, of course, include all existing content. The main attraction, however, is a completely new story expansion. The neighboring island of Iki, located next to Cušima, was also the target of an invasion, and this is where we will set off. The protagonist of the game travels here to investigate rumors of the presence of the Mongols. But soon he finds himself in a whirlwind of events that have a personal subtext and forces him to relive some traumatic events from his own past.
The authors promise to reveal more details about the story on Iki soon. But at the moment we are attracted to new characters or new environments. We can get new equipment for the hero and his horse, try new mini-games, learn new techniques, come across new types of enemies and many other things. Developers also attract new animals. Director’s Cut will also offer other trophies linked to the adventures of Iki Island.
Despite the fact that an expanded version of Ghost of Tsushima will be available on the current and previous generations of PlayStation, players with a newer console will receive a few extra bonuses. Paradoxically, the Sucker Punch representatives are not the first to mention faster loading or a higher quality image, but the implementation of the corresponding articulation of characters in cut-scenes, if you choose Japanese dubbing. Lip sync for this language version was missing from the original game, which also became one of the few points of criticism aimed at the game. Thanks to the computing power of the PS5, therefore, cut-scenes can be rendered in real time and the Japanese will sit not only on the new island of Iki, but also with all the original content.
The developers note that the limit for entering Iki is the need to work on the beginning of the second act.
The developers also confirm that all parts of Ghost of Tsushima – not only the basic game and expansion in the form of Iki Island, but also the multiplayer part of Legends – will fully support the haptic response of the DualSense driver, improve audio, speed up already fast loading and increase framerat on value 60 fps. The nice thing is that the versions for PS4 and PS5 will be compatible with each other in terms of saved position, so you can continue where you left off on the new console and jump straight into the story on the new island. However, the developers note that the limit for entering Iki is the need to work on the beginning of the second act of the original story, respectively. reaching the Toyotama region.
Along with the director’s version, a new patch will be available, fixing some of the bugs that players have pointed out in recent weeks and months. They concern, for example, the photo mode, new accessibility functions in connection with the possibility of remapping the control scheme, as well as the possibility of using “locking” of enemies in duels. In the end, the developers decided to listen to the players who asked them on social networks for the opportunity not to display the quiver with arrows on the main character’s back, and undoubtedly we will find other specialties among the news and improvements after the release. It is supposed to be an unspecified new game mode within the multiplayer part of Legends, which will be available to everyone for free. But we will have to wait for a while for details.
First of all, it is necessary to point out that the described Director’s Cut will not be free even for the owners of the original game.
The last part of the blog is then devoted to people from Sucker Punch on ways to get a director’s version, and you should definitely pay attention to this information. First of all, it is necessary to point out that the described Director’s Cut will not be free even for the owners of the original game. If you own Ghost of Tsushima, you’ll still have to pay a $ 20 price to get the PS4 enhanced version. If you own a PS5, you’ll still need to pay ten dollars for the native next-gen version, or take two steps and upgrade straight from the PS4 version for the same $ 30. If you do not own the game, you must pay the full price, which is $ 60 on the PS4 and $ 70 on the PS5. There are also pre-orders for additional content – specifically a soundtrack and digital artbook, containing both songs and images from the original version and upcoming expansions. The last bonus is the possibility to download the basic PS4 version of Ghost of Tsushima immediately after paying the pre-order without any waiting, so that you can play the basic story by August 20 and sail smoothly to Iki.
