As for whenGhost of Tsushimaplayers can expect more information about this newLegendsgame mode, Sucker Punch says to expect more information soon. That’s not a generic “soon,” either, but rather points to the weeks ahead. Sony has no currently announced events coming up, but there are rumors of a July PlayStation State of Play that could be revealed soon. Alternatively, Sucker Punch could simply share more information about the game mode on the PlayStation Blog like it did for theDirector’s Cut.
Beyond the introduction of a new game mode,Sucker Punchdid tease some other information. It also confirmed that additional updates are currently being worked on, of which the game mode is but one. Further, Sucker Punch confirmed that all of these updates will be made available toGhost of Tsushimaplayers at no additional charge. That includes both versions of the game, the standard version and theDirector’s Cut, and both platforms, the PS4 and PS5.
It isn’t clear how popularGhost of Tsushima: Legendsremains, now that theopen-world action gamehas been available for some time. These types of game modes on console either tend to retain a dedicated core audience or fizzle out. The number of players still invested inLegendswill likely determine how many updates it receives through 2022. But Sucker Punch clearly sees some value in a big update to coincide with the release of theDirector’s Cut.
TheGhost of Tsushima: Director’s Cutupgradewill launch on August 20. No release plans have been announced for the nextLegendsupgrade, however. The update will hopefully release alongside theDirector’s Cut, but that’s not a certainty. Expect to hear more information about Sucker Punch’s plans over the next month and a half.
