Developed by the Kamikaze Douga studio, known for its work on Star Wars: Visions: The Duel, the anime will be directed by Takanobu Mizuno, while the script will be written by Gen Urobuchi. Production will also involve Aniplex, Sony Music and PlayStation Productions. According to Sony, the work will draw heavily on the supernatural and mythological atmosphere of the original game's Legends mode.

The Legends multiplayer mode, introduced in 2020, sets itself apart from the single-player campaign by offering a cooperative experience where players embody legendary warriors endowed with unique powers. This setting seems perfectly suited to an animated adaptation, offering a narrative potential rich in action and mystery. Scheduled for release in 2027, Ghost of Tsushima: Legends is already raising expectations, thanks in part to the reputation of the studio in charge. Fans of anime and video games will have to be patient, however, before discovering this ambitious project. In the meantime, grab your controllers!
