The PC release is also content complete, so players will have access to the base game, Iki Island expansion, and multiplayer Legends mode when they pick the game up. It costs $60 and is already available for pre-order on Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Ghost of Tsushima was first released on PS4 in 2020 and is an open-world action game set in 13th-century Japan where players are trying to fend off a Mongol invasion. In 2021, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut was released for PS5 alongside the launch of the Iki Island expansion. That is the version of the game the PC port is based on. It’s the latest in a string of PC releases by PlayStation, which has recently seen great success on Steam with Helldivers 2 and suggested it plans to bring a lot more games multiplatform going forward.

Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut took the 2020 game we fell in love with and revamped it for the PlayStation 5. If the Last of Us 2 didn't exist, Ghost of Tsushima would have arguably taken home every award at the 2020 game awards, including Game of the Year. We'll likely see the same results with 2021's nominees. But, with such positive fan feedback, the team at Sucker Punch knew they had to deliver on something special. With plenty to unpack, let's talk about everything new on Iki Island in Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut.

Warning: Minor spoilers ahead! We won't be giving away any character-building or story progression spoilers in this article. We've only mentioned new abilities to unlock, enemies you'll fight, and collectibles you'll find on Iki Island.

Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut made sure to include new Mythic Tales. Arguably one of the most interesting parts of the base game, Mythic Tales tell stories of Japanese folklore, sending Jin on epic quests to unlock legendary items. Gosaku's Armor and Tadayori's Armor are just two of many examples. New to Iki Island is the Sarugami Armor and The Legend of Black Hand Riku. Here's how to unlock the Sarugami Armor in Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut.

Jin Sakai is back and better than ever, thanks to the upgraded release of Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut. Aside from taking advantage of the PlayStation 5's hardware to improve visuals and performance, Sucker Punch went the extra mile by adding in an entirely new region with this expansion. Set on the titular Iki Island, Jin will have a new quest to complete that hits very close to home for this conflicted samurai-turned-ghost. Just like the main game, though, the main quest is just one part of what you can do on this brand new island.

Iki is home to all sorts of side content, including side quests, collectibles, and brand new challenges, like the Archery Challenges. These are sort of the companion to the bamboo challenges from the main game, only instead of testing your skills with the blade, you're given unique tests for your aim and speed with a bow. Completing the first will reward you with a brand new charm, and doing the subsequent challenges will further improve that charm's effects. Iki is a big place, so we'll guide you to each Archery Challenge location here.
