Sony has recently announced Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, a brand-new co-op multiplayer mode inspired by Japanese mythology set to be released later within the year. For those who already own Ghost of Tsushima on the PS4, Legends will be available for free.
“Legends is an entirely new experience — it’s a separate mode that doesn’t follow Jin or the companions from his journey, but instead focuses on four warriors who have been built up as legends in stories told by the people of Tsushima.”
With Legends, players will be able to view Ghost of Tsushima in a different light, especially since they’ll be able to play with friends of up to four players max. The game gives you four different character classes to choose from, namely: Assassin, Hunter, Samurai, or Ronin.
At the moment, not a lot of information has been revealed about each class, but Senior Game Designer of Sucker Punch Productions, Darren Bridges, states that they will release more information in the future.
One more reason to be excited about Ghost of Tsushima: Legends is the fact that the game will have new Oni enemies that you can slay. There are different ways you can play the game, as well. With your four-player squad, you can try out the wave-based Survival missions. However, if you want to go the more classic route, a Story mode is also possible.
If you’re confident in your gaming abilities and you and your friends want a challenge, a four-player Raid mode will also be available after the game has been launched.
With that being said, it’s best to note that you need to have an internet connection as well as an active PS Plus membership in order to play the game.
