In 1274, the Mongols invaded Japan for the first time. They landed in Tsushima, where a small number of samurai and residents fought back.

Ghost of Tsushima puts gamers in the boots of Jin Sakai, one of the last surviving samurai after the Mongol's initial attack.

Jin is forced to abandon the samurai's code of honorable combat if he's to stand a chance against the overwhelming Mongol force.

He'll need to learn the way of The Ghost so he may strike from the shadows.

The journey will take Jin across Tsushima's breathtaking landscapes.
