Iki Island is the new location available in Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut. The original Ghost of Tsushima is regarded as one of the best games in the last generation, and the Director's Cut includes a great deal of new content to unlock. Players who have upgraded to the PlayStation 5 version of the game can experience a brand-new location, Iki Island, that has been overrun by the Mongol empire. Players can take down camps, unlock new armors, accessories, and dyes, and continue to level up Jin within this new content update. There are a few things players must do to access Iki Island. This is especially important for first-time players of Ghost of Tsushima.
As players enter Iki Island in Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut, they will need to be wary of the new Shaman enemy type. With their musical abilities, Shamans can increase the strength of all other enemies in the area. Players will have to think strategically when encountering them. There's a strong emphasis on new side activities on Iki Island, and, with eight hours of gameplay included in the expansion, players will want to get started right away. Here's how players can access Iki Island.
Players who have already beaten Ghost of Tsushima will be able to jump right into the Iki Island content from the main menu. New players, however, will need to complete the first act of the base game in order to access Iki Island.
Unlocking Iki Island in Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut
The first act in Ghost of Tsushima functions as a tutorial of the world, and players can unlock all the different fighting stances in Ghost of Tsushima during this period. It may take players three to five hours to complete the first act. Once this is done, players will unlock access to Act 2 and the "Tales of Iki" questline. Players can then divert from the main path and start their new adventures on Iki Island.
Here are some steps players need to follow to unlock Iki Island in Ghost of Tsushima:
- Step 1: Open the Journal tab from the Pause menu.
- Step 2: A notification saying “Tales of Iki is now available” will pop up.
- Step 3: Select Tales of Iki and then track the tale Journey Into the Past.
- Step 4: Use the Guiding Wind by swiping up on the trackpad to go towards Iki Island.
Transferring Ghost of Tsushima PS4 Save Data
Returning players who have already beaten the game can transfer their Ghost of Tsushima save data from the base game to use in the Director’s Cut version. As soon as players load their saved files, a notification will pop up on the main title screen saying, “Iki Island is now available.” PS+ subscribers can download the save data directly from the cloud and use it to start playing the new content. However, players without a PS+ subscription will have to manually transfer the save file to external storage and import it to the PlayStation 5.
