An upcoming anime series based on the acclaimed Ghost of Tsushima and it’s Legends multiplayer experience has recently been announced by Crunchyroll.
The announcement was made during Sony’s 2025 CES press conference Monday in Las Vegas and the series will premiere exclusively on Crunchyroll in 2027.
The Ghost of Tsushima anime is set to be directed by Takanobu Mizuno (Star Wars: Visions, Higanjima: Love is Over), with Kamikaze Douga (Tales of Crestoria -The Wake of Sin, Batman Ninja) heading animation, and Gen Urobuchi (Revenger, Bubble) writing the story composition. The show will be produced by Aniplex, with Sony Music as the music and soundtrack partner.
“Having already proven the immense quality and versatility of our gaming properties across multiple successful film and television projects, we couldn’t be more excited to announce our first ever anime adaptation.”, said PlayStation Productions head Asad Qizilbash, in a statement by Sony Music. “Ghost of Tsushima’s rich, immersive world and its fantastical Legends mode based on Japanese mythology provide the perfect canvas for this project, and Aniplex is the perfect partner to translate Sucker Punch Productions’ hit video game into a stunning new anime series.”
The cast and creative staff will be announced sometime in the future. A standalone sequel game to Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yotei, will be released by Sucker Punch sometime in 2025.
“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,” said Crunchyroll president Rahul Purini
