All the way back in 2023, we first heard reports that Sony was working on an anime based on the console maker’s popular Ghost of Tsushima IP. Officially announced last year, we have now gotten our first proper look at the project, with a teaser trailer having been released.

Releasing a stylish-yet-vague teaser trailer, PlayStation / Crunchyroll officially unveiled Ghost of Tsushima Legends. While little could be gleaned from the trailer itself, we did get a new description for the upcoming anime – which reads as follows: “Ghost of Tsushima Legends follows one of the last remaining samurai as he defends his homeland of Tsushima against the Mongol Empire.”

Alongside these basic plot details, we also got a breakdown of the crew behind the project, with the following creatives said to be in charge:

• Director: Takanobu Mizuno (Star Wars Visions)
• Produced by: HAYATE Inc (joint venture between Aniplex and Crunchyroll)
• Script: Satoshi Maejima and Gen Urobuchi (Nitroplus)
• Character designs: Takashi Okazaki (Afro Samurai creator)
• Animation Studio: KAMIKAZE DOUGA (known for Star Wars Visions; Ninja Batman and Pop Team Epic)

While no official release date has been offered, the anime was previously announced to be arriving some time in 2027, and so expect GoT: Legends to release some time next year.

Ghost of Tsushima is by far one of Sony’s biggest new IPs in some time, and so it makes sense for them to capitalise on its success. Hopefully we learn more about the previously-announced live-action film adaptation soon enough.

Suckerpunch returned in 2025 with the launch of Ghost of Yotei, the long-awaited sequel to Ghost of Tsushima. Like the original game, Ghost of Yotei includes its own Legends co-op mode, allowing players to team up to take on big battles. Unfortunately, after releasing just one raid, development on the Legends mode is now coming to an end. 

Ghost of Yotei's Legends multiplayer mode will not be getting anymore content. In this mode, players take on more powerful versions of the Yotei Six from the single-player campaign, with battles re-balanced for a co-op environment. With the release of the Legends raid last month, development on the mode as come to a sudden end.

“The Raid update was our last major planned update for Legends”, Suckerpunch confirmed in a PlayStation Blog post. “It finishes the story of the Yōtei Six in that mode. We’ve loved to see players playing it, continue to play it and enjoy it. It’s been great.”

While there won't be any new content coming to Legends, the game mode will remain live and available for all players.

While Ghost of Yotei was a well-received game, the general consensus amongst players is that its campaign wasn't as impactful as the Ghost of Tsushima campaign. Ghost of Yotei also unfortunately released months after Assassin's Creed Shadows, which had a very similar main plot, also set in Japan, where players take on the role of a female shinobi on a quest for revenge against those who destroyed her family.

KitGuru Says: I ended up being very disappointed with the gameplay loop and overall plot in Yotei compared to Tsushima. On top of that, playing Yotei right after Assassin's Creed Shadows felt like playing the same game twice, although Yotei does win on combat and scope with its more manageable open world. 

As with the first game before it, Sucker Punch Productions promised that Ghost of Yotei would be receiving a free update in the new year focused on introducing the game’s co-op Legends Mode. With the update officially going live today, the team at Sucker Punch have now shared “everything you need to know about the online co-op multiplayer mode.”

Taking to the PlayStation blog, Legends Lead Designer Darren Bridges expanded on everything which we learned previously regarding Ghost of Yotei’s upcoming mode.

According to Bridges, the Legends mode began production at the same time as the single player campaign – meaning it was in development in one form or another since 2020/21.

Tying the game mode into Yotei’s narrative, the team revealed that Legends is a “retelling” of Atsu’s fight against the Yotei Six “way later; years, even centuries after the fact” – which explains why players will be fighting big demons.

In terms of gameplay, Sucker Punch confirmed that the mode will offer 4 difficulty options: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum; each of which will feature “different enemies, different challenges” while earning bonus XP for your trouble.

One aspect in which Yotei is stepping up its game is in the visual customisation department, with Legends featuring “really wild stuff” to unlock fashion-wise. Another new element sees the mode’s lobby greatly expanded from a simple menu in the previous game to now being a fully fledged space featuring PvP options, mini games and much more.

All-in-all, it seems like Ghost of Yotei Legends is set to be an improvement across the board, taking a promising side mode from the previous game and expanding upon it in all aspects. It will be interesting to see how wacky the skins are when Ghost of Yotei Legends arrives later today, Full details on this new mode can be found HERE.
