Where eagles dare
Ghost of Tsushimais getting its Director’s Cut next month, and that includes a new expansion. In it, Jin Sakai will set off for Iki Island, and today, we got a good look at what’s in store for Jin when he gets there.
As part ofGhost of Tsushima Director’s Cut, you’ll get a chance to visit the new location Iki Island, home to new characters, tales, and of course, some more enemies to fight. A Mongol tribe has arrived on the island, led by Ankhsar Khatun. Or rather, as her followers call her, the “Eagle.”
She is both a khatun and a shaman, and she brings some new dangers to the party. To fight her forces, Jin will get to learn some new techniques and gain some new allies, as well as explore new legends and tales.
In thePlayStation Blog today, Sucker Punch describes the semi-fictional version of Iki Island in theDirector’s Cutas a “stark contrast” to Tsushima. It’s wild, inhabited by folks who live outside the law, and it’s independent. The samurai have not been in control of Iki for decades by the time Jin gets there.
So this means probably working with some less-than-honorable types, which honestly, sounds pretty alright. Pirates and smugglers should be a nice change of pace in travelling companions.
Ghost of Tsushimaonly launched last year, but thisDirector’s Cutversion will bundle together the base game and the Iki Island expansion. There’s alsoa direct upgrade optionif you ownGhost of Tsushimaalready.
It’s another Sony exclusive to get aDirector’s Cuttreatment too, as Kojima Productions’Death Strandingis also due to get aDirector’s Cut version on Sept. 24, 2021. (Kojimadoesn’t seem too thrilled with the terminology, however.)
Ghost of TsushimaDirector’s Cutwill hit PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on Aug 01, 2025.
