Sony has released a new trailer for Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut, giving us a much better idea of what the new re-release content is all about. Iki Island is an expansion that sees Jin travel to… well, the island of Iki, where a different Mongol threat is taking root. The trailer above gives us a look at the history of the expansion, which seems to be taking shape quite well.
Of course, Iki will also host new missions, equipment, and secrets. The official description of the expansion reads: “Jin’s journey begins when he discovers that a mysterious Mongol tribe has taken hold of Iki. They are led by a revered shaman named Ankhsar Khatun, known to his followers as “the Eagle.” As a khatun and shaman, she is not only a conqueror of nations, but a shepherd of souls. And the danger it poses to Jin and his people is unlike any they have ever faced. “
He continues: “Our semi-fictional version of Iki Island offers a stark contrast to Tsushima. It is a wild and lawless land of raiders and criminals, marked by memories of war and fiercely independent; samurai haven’t been in control there for decades. As skilled as he is, Jin cannot face the Mongols alone. You will have to work with, or around, a cabal of unsavory characters to fight the Eagle. ” Sounds good to us!
We’re basically just hoping Iki Island is more of a Ghost of Tsushima, but that’s not a bad thing when the open-world epic is still one of our favorite PlayStation 4 exclusives.
