Sucker Punch announced Ghost of Tsushima back in 2017 at Paris Games Week. During E3 2018, the studio showed off eight minutes of early-build gameplay and it already looked gorgeous. Now with the release almost upon us, the developers wanted to dish us the lastest dirt on the open-world epic set in feudal Japan.
The presentation (above) consisted of 18 minutes of gameplay footage with commentary from the developers, and it showed off a lot more than knew about the game.
It comes as no surprise that players will spend a lot of time exploring in Ghost of Tsushima, both on foot and on horseback. Such a mechanic is par for the course in open-world games. However, Sucker Punch worked hard to make sure that navigating the world made sense and worked naturally.
Instead of the typical GPS or compass arrow to use as a guide, players call upon the wind to show them the way. The wind always blows in the direction of your next mission target or a set waypoint.
