Overview

• The PlayStation Store shows a 4.89 user score based on 9,282 ratings, with 96% of players awarding five stars.
• Reviews are broadly positive across outlets, with reporting that its Metacritic performance has edged past Ghost of Tsushima.
• The PS5-exclusive released on October 2 without a New Game+ mode, and coverage notes Sucker Punch previously added the feature to Tsushima months after launch, suggesting it could arrive in a future update.
• Combat expands beyond Tsushima’s stances with new weapons including dual katanas, yari, odachi, kusarigama, and matchlock guns.
• Sucker Punch emphasizes authenticity through a lip-synced Japanese dub and Ainu representation, with a Legends multiplayer mode confirmed for post-launch.
