Watch today’s Ghost of Tsushima gameplay reveal here

Sony is giving PS4 exclusive Ghost of Tsushima a dedicated State of Play live stream on Thursday.

Viewable on Twitch and YouTube (including via the embed below), the broadcast will start at 1pm PT / 4pm ET / 9pm BST / 10pm CEST.

“You’ll get an extended look at new gameplay footage, including exploration, combat and more,” Sid Shuman, senior director of content communications at Sony Interactive Entertainment, said earlier this week. “The current cut is clocking in around 18 minutes, give or take.”

Revealed in October 2017, Sucker Punch Productions’ open-world adventure game is set during the Mongol invasion of Japan in 1274.

Players take on the role of Jin Sakai, a samurai warrior whose adventure draws on Japanese history and the traditions of samurai cinema to craft what the developer calls “a gorgeous tale of revenge, empowerment, and hope”.

Sony recently announced new release dates for The Last of Us Part 2 and Ghost of Tsushima, with the latter delayed from June 26 to July 17.

The game will be available in several editions, including a collector’s edition featuring a replica mask with an individually numbered display stand.

Pre-ordering any edition will get you a Jin avatar, a digital mini soundtrack and a PS4 dynamic theme.
