Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut was just rated by ESRB. It seems as it might release along with the rumoured Ghost of Ikishima. I think it might be something like what the Spider-Man Miles Morales Ultimate Edition had to offer, but again, we will see more information about this at Sony’s Next Event, which is rumoured to be on 8th July.
The ESRB rating states, “This is an action game in which players assume the role of a samurai (Jin Sakai) on a quest for vengeance against Mongol invaders in 13th century Japan. Players traverse open-world environments, interact with characters, complete quests (e.g., assassinations), and infiltrate enemy strongholds. Players use samurai swords, poison darts, and arrows to battle enemies in third-person melee-style combat. Some attacks result in dismemberment/decapitation of enemy soldiers, often accompanied by large blood-splatter effects. Players can also perform assassination kills (e.g., neck stabbing, sword impalement) to dispatch enemies quietly. Cutscenes depict additional acts of intense violence: a soldier lit on fire and beheaded; bound civilians lit on fire and burned at stake; a decapitated man’s head held up towards the screen. The game also depicts a man’s exposed buttocks as he bathes in a hot spring. The word “sh*t” appears in the game.”
It was rated for both PlayStation 4 and 5, which might have just hinted at a Ghost of Ikishima release on PS4 as well.
