What do we know about the Ghost of Tsushima anime?
Announced during Sony Group Corporation’s CES 2025 presentation, the anime will be based on Sucker Punch Productions’ hit game Ghost of Tsushima, specifically its Ghost of Tsushima: Legends multiplayer expansion that was released in 2020.
The anime will exclusively premiere on Crunchyroll, and currently has a release date window of sometime in 2027. The series will be directed by Takanobu Mizuno (Star Wars: Visions), with Gen Urobuchi writing the story composition for the show. The anime will be produced in collaboration with Aniplex.
No other information about the series is known as of yet. More information, including the anime’s creative team and cast, will be revealed sometime in the future, Crunchyroll said.
“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 groundbreaking.”
Originally released in 2020, Ghost of Tsushima is a third-person action-adventure game, that follows the story of Jin Sakai, a samurai on a quest to protect Tsushima Island during the first Mongol invasion of Japan. The game was a massive success, with a sequel — Ghost of Yōtei — set to release sometime this year. A film adaptation of the game is also reportedly in the works from John Wick director Chad Stahelski.
