Ghost of Tsushima was one of four first party exclusives that Sony planned to take a deep dive into during their E3 2018 showcase. Delivering on that promise, the presentation included over eight minutes of Sucker Punch’s beautiful feudal Japan. Here it is.

Having only experienced Sucker Punch’s talents through supernatural traversal of small urban environments in the Infamous series, I’m eager to see how the studio has grown in anticipation for this release.

In 1274, the fearsome Mongol Empire invades the Japanese island of Tsushima and slaughters its legendary samurai defenders. Jin Sakai is one of the last survivors of a noble samurai clan. To combat his overwhelming foes, he must pioneer deadly new fighting techniques–the way of The Ghost–and wage an unconventional war for the people of Japan.
