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. (Source: Sucker Punch Productions)

This is another 50/50 disaster/masterpiece adaptation lying in wait. Urobuchi unfortunately has much the same reputation.

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.

@Old_School_Akira Literally every single anime by A-1 Pictures, CloverWorks and Ufotable is produced by Sony, they made and own those studios.

This will either be a massive success or an absolute shitshow, there is no in-between.

This is unexpected news.

Thank God it is not based in the upcoming disaster Ghost of Yōtei. My first PS5 game, can't wait

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.
