Anime fans rejoice during Sony Group Corporation’s CES 2025 press conference today an anime series based on Sucker Punch Productions’ Ghost of Tsushima video game and its Ghost of Tsushima: Legends multiplayer experience is officially in production. The anime will exclusively premiere on Crunchyroll in 2027.

Ghost of Tsushima: Legends originally expanded on the single-player game with cooperative multiplayer modes, featuring story-driven missions and competitive modes inspired by Japanese mythology and samurai culture.

The anime series, announced by PlayStation Productions, is set to bring the intense action and rich narrative of the game into a new medium. Ghost of Tsushima itself takes place during the Mongol invasion of Japan in the late 13th century, and the anime will explore similar themes, possibly expanding on the Legends multiplayer’s mystical, mythological aspects, such as Oni, samurai, and other legendary creatures and warriors.

Takanobu Mizuno (Star Wars: Visions “The Duel”) will direct the series at Kamikaze Douga, with Gen Urobuchi writing the story composition. The anime will be produced in collaboration with Aniplex, with Sony Music serving as music and soundtrack partner. Additional staff and cast were not announced at the time of the panel.
