Tampilan Pertama Seni Karakter Anime Ghost of Tsushima Legends

At Anime Expo, Crunchyroll gave attendees a first look at the characters that will appear in the anime adaptation of the PlayStation game Ghost of Tsushima and, specifically, its Legends multiplayer mode. The art showed the Assassin, Ronin and Hunter characters that the story's protagonist, one of the last remaining samurai, will meet on his journey.

The character design is the work of Takashi Okazaki, best known for creating Afro Samurai. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Solo Leveling, and Sword Art Online studio Aniplex is working on the adaptation, with Takanobu Mizuno directing. Satoshi Maejima and Gen Urobuchi (of game and visual novel studio NITRO PLUS) are on script duties.

“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 Asad Qizilbash, head of PlayStation Productions, when the series was announced in January 2025.

"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 series is set to be released exclusively on Crunchroll in 2027.
