Ghost of Tsushima features a 'Kurosawa Mode' that presents the game in black and white with film grain, paying homage to the classic samurai films of director Akira Kurosawa.
The game's combat system was designed to be accessible yet deep, with different stances that are effective against different enemy types.
Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut was released in 2021, adding the Iki Island expansion and enhanced features for PlayStation 5.
