Sony has landed a new story trailer for highly anticipated Ghost of Tsushima, revealing the June release date. This is undeniably exciting since the title was expected to be among the launch roster of video games for PlayStation 5. Truth be told, there are several reasons why Ghost of Tsushima draws huge interest. Perhaps, the most significant one is the developer behind the title.

Sucker Punch is responsible for some of the best PlayStation video games, and it is indeed intriguing to see what the makers of the Infamous franchise have to offer with Ghost of Tsushima. What also makes the game exciting is the chosen setting and historical period. The title tells the notorious story of the Japanese island Tsushima being invaded by Mongols. It was a violent and bloody episode in the history of the Land of the Rising Sun, and the open resistance to the quantitatively superior Mongol army quickly turned into desperate guerrilla warfare, which is going to be the focus of Ghost of Tsushima.

The latest trailer not only gives a thorough look at the story but also provides the gaming community with the exact release date. Ghost of Tsushima is coming out on June 26, 2020, which is less than four months away. It was rumored that the game might release by the end of 2020 as the launch title for PS5, the course of events Jason Schreier insisted on in October. However, Sony stressed that Ghost of Tsushima had always been a PS4 title and would release in Summer, and we now have a proper confirmation of it. The video sets the main story points and reveals the protagonist as the menacing vengeful spirit whose honorable oath transformed into a bloodthirsty hunt for invaders.
