Ghost of Tsushima fans will be eating good over the next few years. A sequel to the samurai game is coming out, John Wick director Chad Stahelski is developing a live-action adaptation, and an anime based on the franchise is now in the works too.
PlayStation Productions is partnering with Crunchyroll, Aniplex, and Sony Music to produce Ghost of Tsushima: Legends. The anime will be based on the original Sucker Punch game and its co-op add-on, also subtitled Legends. While loosely based on Japanese folk tales, Ghost of Tsushima is more reminiscent of open-world games like Red Dead Redemption. It also reinterprets real-life events, planting players in the thick of the 13th-century Mongol invasion of Japan. The game follows Jin Sakai, a samurai warrior who forges a new fighting style — “the way of the ghost” — to protect the island of Tsushima.
