Ghost of Tsushima celebrates birthday with God of War, Horizon outfits

PlayStation’s Sucker Punch studio is celebrating the first anniversary of Ghost of Tsushima’s release by reenabling special PlayStation-themed armour sets.

The four player outfits are inspired by PlayStation series God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Shadow of the Colossus and Bloodborne and can be used in the Legends multiplayer mode.

The armour was first added to the game in December and removed a month later.

“July 17 marks one year since the release of Ghost of Tsushima!” the studio wrote on Saturday. “For every fox you pet, every photo mode shot you shared, every standoff you completed, or any other way you joined us on this journey, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for an incredible year!”

Released in July 2020, Ghost of Tsushima centres around samurai Jin Sakai, the last surviving member of his clan, who must wage war against invading Mongols and free the island of Tsushima.

Sony recently announced Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut, a PS5 and PS4 expanded game featuring a new story set on Iki Island, and PS5 exclusive features such as haptic feedback.
