 An anime adaptation of Sucker Punch Productions' Ghost of Tsushima video game was announced by Crunchyroll at the Sony Group Corporation's CES 2025 press conference on Monday. The anime series will draw inspiration from the original game and its multiplayer co-op expansion, Ghost of Tsushima: Legends. Set to premiere exclusively on Crunchyroll in 2027, the anime will share the same title as the Legends expansion. Takanobu Mizuno (Star Wars: Visions) is helming the anime at Kamikaze Douga. Screenwriter Gen Urobuchi (Psycho-Pass) is handling the series composition. The anime series is being produced by Crunchyroll, Aniplex, Sony Music, and PlayStation Productions. Developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, Ghost of Tsushima was released on PlayStation 4 in July 2020, with a multiplayer expansion subtitled Legends released in October that year. The game was also ported to PlayStation 5 in August 2021 and on PC in May 2024. A sequel, titled Ghost of Yotei, is scheduled to be released on PlayStation 5 in 2025. Game Synopsis The year is 1274. Samurai warriors are the legendary defenders of Japan—until the fearsome Mongol Empire invades the island of Tsushima, wreaking havoc and conquering the local population. As one of the last surviving samurai, you rise from the ashes to fight back. But honorable tactics won't lead you to victory. You must move beyond your samurai traditions to forge a new way of fighting—the way of the Ghost—as you wage an unconventional war for the freedom of Japan.

| With decent budget and good crew respecting the artsy side of the Ghost of Tsushima video game, this anime might be a hit. Or at least a highly enjoyable show. |
| Urobuchi’s name doesn’t really mean much anymore, especially since this isn't even the main game, instead it's Legends... And with Crunchyroll and Aniplex involved, we’re probably looking at a bunch of production delays lol. |

| Crunchyroll and Sony is producing anime now? |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| One of the best games I've ever played. Yet, as for an anime I don't think it'll do better than 'Angolmois: Genkou Kassenki' which I think it's the real Ghost of Tsushima in the anime verse lol. There are some news that even 'Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice' will get an anime adaptation too. |
” Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented. O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste.” So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?” [Jesus] said, “Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and alms tax as long as I remain alive. And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant. And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive.” That is Jesus, the son of Mary—the word of truth about which they are in dispute. It is not for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is. [Jesus said], “And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” [Holy Quran : Chapter Maryam (Mary) : 23-36] |

| has potential to be good so i hope it is. |
 |
| They should have made this announcement in late 2026. |
| Aww... Legends? I'm still looking forward to it, though. |
| I loved the game, but not sure if there are tons of stories to tell in this franchise. It has gorgeous visuals and overflowing atmosphere, but the story and the characters weren't too memorable for me. Unless they're just making any kind of samurai story and plastering a "Ghost of Tsushima" label on it. |
| Adaptation from Pop Tim Epic studio? With Urobuchi as screenwriter? I don't even know what to say lmao. Also, how Western will this be? Just a bigger version of the projects they used to do for Netflix? @perseii Well, at least this could pave the way for truly anime adaptations of AAA games instead of giving them another "anime" like Castlevania. @wildhood Judging by all these leaks and general criticism of the choice of direction for the sequel, the decision to accompany its release with an adaptation of the original really makes sense. @Varendant Personally, I really enjoyed Revengers, but it didn't feel at all like a high-profile original show from a well-known author. Although even so, Gen wrote a tragic ending a much much better than some people, lmao. |

| Given how good the graphics/visuals is for the game, best to experience that way. |

| @MegamiRem huh...o thanks i see them now its funny tho, iv never heard of this studio until now |
| I haven’t played the game but I’ve heard great things about it. I’ve seen the gameplay and visuals though, the studio adapting this will have to go out of their way to match that quality and quality screenwriters will obviously have to be around too. |

| Thank God it is not based in the upcoming disaster Ghost of Yōtei. My first PS5 game, can't wait |
| This is unexpected news. |
 |
| It seems I can't watch it, lol. |
| This will either be a massive success or an absolute shitshow, there is no in-between. |

| As always, I'll watch anything from Kamikaze Douga. |

| Remind me in 2028, when the Blu-rays are out. |
| Didn't expect to see this. Looking forward to seeing how it fares |

| I hope it won't turn out to be like Ninja Kamui. This game's story is outstanding. I hope they didn't fuck up in the animation. |
 |
RippleLover said: Well yeah that's the thing, they are NOT owned by Aniplex either. Ufotable is owned by Aniplex, which is owned by Sony. |
|
| This is another 50/50 disaster/masterpiece adaptation lying in wait. Urobuchi unfortunately has much the same reputation. |
