The Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut has been officially announced and it will be coming to PS4 and PS5.

On PS5 the Director’s Cut will come with the visual, performance, and loading improvements that one would expect from a next-gen title.

In terms of other features, the Director’s Cut will take advantage of 3D Audio, and the Haptic feedback and Adaptive triggers of the DualSense controller.

Other improvements will be made to the lip-sync quality of the game, with the Japanese voice-over.

The Director’s Cut will also come with a new expansion which will take place on Iki Island. This will be an all-new story and will be playable from the beginning of Act 2 in the campaign.

According to the PlayStation Blog, on Iki Island: “Jin travels to the island to investigate rumours of a Mongol presence. But soon, he finds himself caught up in events with deeply personal stakes that will force him to relive some traumatic moments from his past.”
