Playstation’s “Ghost Of Tsushima: Legends” game is getting an anime adaptation
Legends live on in story.
Legends are about to fortify their status as the Playstation hit game Ghost Of Tsushima: Legends is slated to be adapted via an anime project.
The project is set to be a series, and will be helmed by none other than studio Kamikaze Douga and Crunchyroll.
The anime series, though influenced by the lore of Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima, will not follow the story of Jin Sakai. The anime series will instead take its inspiration from Ghost of Tsushima: Legends and the “mythic tales” woven by the phantasm-inducing words of storyteller Gyozen.
Sucker Punch announced the news to fans of the coming anime project via their social media:
Rahul Pruini, president of Crunchyroll had this to say about the news in a statement:
This project is a testament to the creative synergy within the Sony family, uniting the expertise of PlayStation Studios and PlayStation Productions; the creative team of Sucker Punch Productions and Aniplex; Sony Music’s iconic global artist roster; and Crunchyroll’s fan-first global marketing and distribution footprint. The ‘Ghost of Tsushima’ anime will offer fans an exciting new way to experience the game in an anime style that will be bold and groundbreaking.
Asad Qizilbash, the head of Playstation Productions, also chimed in:
Having already proven the immense quality and versatility of our gaming properties across multiple successful film and television projects, we couldn’t be more excited to announce our first ever anime adaptation. Ghost of Tsushima’s rich, immersive world and its fantastical Legends mode based on Japanese mythology provide the perfect canvas for this project, and Aniplex is the perfect partner to translate Sucker Punch Productions’ hit video game into a stunning new anime series.
More to come.
