The anime is being developed by Sony and Crunchyroll in collaboration with Aniplex, the studio behind renowned titles like Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and Sword Art Online. It is being directed by Takanobu Mizuno.
Ghost of Tsushima is a samurai action-adventure game set in feudal Japan. The game takes stylistic inspiration from classic Japanese samurai films, particularly the works of Akira Kurosawa. Its Legends storyline combines elements of Japanese mythology and folklore.
“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,” said Rahul Purini, President of Crunchyroll. “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 ground-breaking.”
