For Ghost of Tsushima fans, the online Legends mode has proved very popular. That mode is now getting a standalone version and players can look forward to a Rivals mode and other exciting new features.

As an online multiplayer mode for Tsushima, Legends allows players to compete in a variety of modes. This includes two-player story missions, four-player survival mode, and even an exciting raid. If you already own Ghost of Tsushima, you can enjoy Legends mode as a free content update.

If you don’t own the base game and just want to check out Legends, it will be available on PlayStation Store for $ 19.99 on September 3rd. Both PS4 and PS5 Legends players can play together. And any progress you make on Legends will carry over from one console to another, which is great news for any PS4 gamer who will end up upgrading to PS5.

While standalone Legends is probably the big news, Tsushima’s base game will also receive an exciting Rivals mode on September 3rd. In this mode, two teams of two teams face off. Each team is trying to take out all the waves of attacking cyber opponents before the other team does. Beating opponents unlocks the Magatama currency which you can use to purchase items to injure the other team. Such items include Curses to drain the enemy’s health. And you don’t really have an option to skip this part – players have to spend a certain amount of currency to unlock their final wave of enemies.


If you are a big fan of Ghost of Tsushima, then it’s time to mark some dates in your calendar. First of all, Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut will be out on August 20. It includes community-requested changes to Legends, variants of the Survival Nightmare challenges, and new cosmetics for those Legends players who have previously earned them through the story of Jin and New Game +.

On September 3, developer Sucker Punch will unveil the Gear Mastery system for the main game. It allows players with 110-level gear to tie that gear to their class and then complete Mastery Challenges. Players can also upgrade their Ki to 120, unlock a second perk slot, and unlock a host of new skills and techniques.

Finally, players will receive new content every week from September 10th to October 1st. This includes new Survival maps, a new Rivals map, a harder version of last year’s raid, and more.

Whether you grab the Director’s Cut or just stick to Legends, now is the perfect time to dive into (or return to) Ghost of Tsushima.
