14 DAY TRIAL // The highly-anticipated PS4 exclusive Ghost of Tsushima finally has a release date. Although we were expecting Sony to reveal the launch date at one of the many gaming events taking place in the first half of the year, due to coronavirus outbreak many companies, including Sony, decided to pull out from these events.
As such, the dedicated Ghost of Tsushima event was downgraded to a simple announcement made online. But that's not what really matters. What's important is that the game will be launched on June 26 and that Sony revealed not one but three editions of the game: Special, Collector's and Digital Deluxe.
Unfortunately, the Japanese company only announced the prices in the United States, so if you're living in Europe, you'll have to wait for your local retailers to reveal the game's prices. Regardless of price, let's see what these versions include.
Ghost of Tsushima Digital Deluxe Edition costs $70 and includes a digital copy of the game along with the Hero of Tsushima skin set, which provides an additional in-game horse, saddle, mask, sword, and armor set for Jin. Also, this digital edition of the game includes two in-game items: the Charm of Hachiman's Favor and one technique point, as well as a Samurai PS4 dynamic theme. A digital mini art book by Dark Horse, plus developer's Director's Commentary are included too.
Then, there are two physical edition – Special Edition, which includes a SteelBook case plus a voucher for an in-game Hero of Tsushima mask and sword skin, Charm of Hachiman's Favor, one technique point, the Director's Commentary, and the digital mini art book. The Special Edition will be available for pre-order for $70.
The most expensive version of the game, the Collector's Edition has a replica mask, a re-creation of the one that you'll wear in the game, made from polyresin. On top of that, you'll also receive a sashimono (war banner) that's about 4.5 feet long, and a traditional-style furoshiki (wrapping cloth).
The Collector's Edition includes a copy of the game with a SteelBook case, a physical 48-page mini art book by Dark Horse, and an artistic rendition of the game's full world map printed on cloth. Finally, you'll also get a voucher for all the digital content from the Digital Deluxe Edition listed above. Ghost of Tsushima Collector's Edition will be available for purchase for $170.
For European customers, Sony is launching a Standard Plus Edition, which includes a physical copy of the game and artwork featuring a custom print finish. This one will be slightly more expensive than the Standard Edition.
