If you frequent my blog, then you know that Ghost of Tsushima is currently my favorite game of all-time. I love the game so much that I got the platinum trophy for Ghost of Tsushima. I was both thrilled and saddened by the fact that I had completed everything the game had to offer. A few days after I achieved 100%, the developers SuckerPunch Productions announced a free update coming soon.
That title update is now less than 2 weeks away from releasing. We finally received an official release date yesterday and even more details on what the update brings to the table. Not only are they introducing multiplayer for the first time, but they are enhancing the single-player experience as well. This brings great joy to my heart, as I cannot wait to start playing this game again.
I am amazed at how terrific these developers are and the continued support for this game. I think this title can go down as one of the all-time greatest PlayStation exclusives. This alone is a wonderful reason to own a PS4/PS5. Sony really has something special with Ghost of Tsushima.
Read on to learn more.
I have attached the official trailer for the update, just below this text. After that are written details about all of the announced features that will be available with this update.
Version 1.1
This update includes the following new single player features:
- Custom Gear Loadouts
This feature is huge. Long gone are the instances of taking several minutes to pause your game to switch armor and charms before every single battle. You can now save loadouts for different instances so it only takes you a few seconds to prepare for different battle scenarios. - New Game +
If you wanted a reason to play through Ghost of Tsushima again, now you will have it. You will restart the game with all of your previous gear, charms, and abilities. - New Horse
Get ready to fall in love with another horse. No doubt the choices of names will be cool and the look even cooler. There may possibly even be new saddles to collect. - Mysterious new merchant and new dyes
One can only imagine what this new merchant will offer. With the armor dyes, we can assume that SuckerPunch has outdone theirselves with more beautiful designs yet again. - Powerful new charms
One charm for instance will enable a chance for lightening to strike down your enemies. - New trophies
If you are a trophy hunter and already have platinum like me, there will be more to collect to keep that 100% on your trophy list. Prepare for battle my lords.
Ghost of Tsushima Legends
Legends is the brand new multiplayer experience coming to Ghost of Tsushima in version 1.1. This part of the update includes:
- 4-player survival missions
Fight off hordes of enemies with up to 3 friends. - 2-player story missions
Experiences memorable stories with a friend. - Post-launch raid
Take on high-level bosses and expect to spend a long time tackling the most difficult challenges this game has to offer with your friends. - Four unique classes

The amazing photo mode is back, this time include your friends in your cinematic captures.
Bravo SuckerPunch!
As you can see the devs have been hard at work since the initial release back in July. This game will not be forgotten, quite legendary indeed. If you haven’t already played Ghost of Tsushima, I urge you to start soon. If you don’t have a PS4, this would be an amazing first game to pick up for your PS5 come November 12th.
I look forward to sharing more about my experience with this epic milestone in gaming history. The weekend of October 16th is going to be quite thrilling for certain!
