Sucker Punch has everything ready for the release of Ghost of Tsushima this coming July.

"Mud, blood and steel"
In words to the official PlayStation podcast, they comment that their objective was none other than to represent as closely as possible the cinema of samurai, of which both declare themselves very fans; like the rest of the team. "We wanted it to feel solid, with lethal precision," they begin by saying when asked about their primary goals. “These men can slice through each other with a single sword strike, and to capture that, the combat is very different from what we've seen in other games, because that means you can die very quickly; your enemies, too. "
Jin will therefore be just as vulnerable as the other characters. As we saw in the demonstration, by day the protagonist will take advantage of a battle technique closer to direct action, with techniques such as the breaking of positions and the search for the most effective blow.

They also refer to one of the phrases that have accompanied the campaign to promote the title in recent weeks: "mud, blood and steel", three names that summarize what they hope this experience will mean for the entire community of players PlayStation. Before concluding, both members of Sucker Punch say they are very proud of the final version of the game and hope, however, that it meets the expectations of PS4 players.
