Ghost of Tsushima Offers Players a Free Anniversary Reward

Oh man, so here we are, right? Five years down the road, and Sucker Punch Productions is still throwing a party for Ghost of Tsushima, and why not? This game kinda exploded onto the scene back in 2020 and, no joke, it was like stepping into a samurai epic—Jin Sakai versus the Mongols on Tsushima Island in 1274. A blend of jaw-dropping scenery and sword-swinging chaos. Pretty wild to think how fans are all about its follow-up, too.

The new one, Ghost of Yotei, kinda snuck out there during Sony’s State of Play in September 2024. People are hyped about it, like, it’s already clogging up wishlists. Atsu, the protagonist this time around, is out tracking the Yotei Six and doing her own thing, kinda stepping away from the traditional samurai morals. Some folks miss Jin (I mean, who wouldn’t?) but still, Atsu seems like she’s got some serious moves.

Anyway, Sucker Punch, being all grateful and everything, decided to hand out free PlayStation avatars, kinda like a thank you card. People are sharing in-game pics and chatting about their Tsushima escapades. Sucker Punch even tossed out some stats for the game’s first birthday. Like, how many hours players logged—spoiler, it’s a ton.

Ghost of Yotei’s landing in October, which feels ages away, right? But hey, there are other games to sink into like Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty or Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, if you’re craving that epic vibe. Yotei’s gotta reach some high bars—open-world magic and killer graphics are kinda expected now, thanks to its predecessor.

So yeah, the Ghost of Tsushima kind of etched itself into gaming lore, and Sucker Punch’s next chapter has everyone buzzing. It’s a wild ride that’s nowhere near over.
