The anime will be inspired by Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, the multiplayer mode introduced in the original game in 2020.

Ghost of Tsushima: Legends introduced players to a variety of classes and gameplay modes, such as story missions, survival missions, and raids. The standalone multiplayer game was well-received by fans, leading to further adaptations like the upcoming anime series and a movie in development by Sony Pictures.
In addition to the anime adaptation, Sucker Punch Productions is working on a sequel titled Ghost of Yotei, scheduled for release on the PS5 in 2025. This expansion of the Ghost of Tsushima universe demonstrates the enduring popularity and creative potential of the franchise across different forms of media.
