In the collaboration of various Sony business units, it was revealed that a fresh anime series would emerge, based on the acclaimed “Ghost of Tsushima” video game and its “Legends” multiplayer mode by Sucker Punch Productions.
2027 marks the year for the exclusive debut of the series, which will be streamed only on Crunchyroll. This information was revealed during Sony’s 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) press event held in Las Vegas.
The anime adaptation of “Ghost of Tsushima” is being collaboratively produced with Aniplex, a studio owned by Sony, known for producing anime series like “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba,” “Solo Leveling,” and “Sword Art Online.” This project will be led by director Takanobu Mizuno, with Gen Urobuchi from “Nitro Plus” handling the story composition. The animation duties will fall to Kamikaze Douga. As stated by Crunchyroll, they aim to bring the traditional samurai feel of “Ghost of Tsushima: Legends” to life through captivating narratives and visually stunning scenes. Sony Music has been tapped as the strategic partner for music and soundtrack in this series. Further details regarding the creative team and cast are yet to be disclosed.
The game “Ghost of Tsushima,” produced by Sucker Punch Productions (owned by Sony Interactive Entertainment), offers an open-world action-adventure experience set within the backdrop of feudal Japan. Since its release in 2020, over 13 million copies have been sold worldwide on both console and PC platforms. The game’s “Legends” mode draws inspiration from Japanese folklore and mythology for its cooperative multiplayer aspect. Last autumn, Sucker Punch announced a sequel to “Ghost of Tsushima,” titled “Ghost of Yōtei,” which is expected to launch in 2025. This new installment introduces a fresh protagonist named Atsu and a brand-new narrative.
According to Rahul Purini, president of Crunchyroll, this project showcases the powerful creative collaboration within the Sony family, combining the skills of PlayStation Studios and PlayStation Productions; Sucker Punch Productions and Aniplex; Sony Music’s renowned international artist roster; and Crunchyroll’s fan-centric global marketing and distribution network. The upcoming “Ghost of Tsushima” anime will provide fans with a thrilling new method to engage with the game, offering an anime-style experience that is both daring and innovative.
Speaking about it, Asad Qizilbash from PlayStation Productions expressed his enthusiasm: “We’ve demonstrated the exceptional quality and adaptability of our gaming content in numerous successful film and TV projects. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our inaugural anime adaptation! The captivating universe and mythology-rooted Legends mode of ‘Ghost of Tsushima’ make it an ideal choice for this project, and Aniplex is the ideal collaborator to bring Sucker Punch Productions’ acclaimed video game to life as a breathtaking new anime series.
Established in 2019, PlayStation Productions collaborates with Sony Pictures Entertainment to transform popular PlayStation games into television shows and movies. So far, they have contributed to several productions such as “Uncharted” and “Gran Turismo” movies, and TV series like “Twisted Metal” and “The Last of Us.
Additionally, on Mondays, Crunchyroll unveiled a fresh application for digital comics, which is part of their new top-tier subscription package. The upcoming app, named Crunchyroll Manga, is scheduled to launch this year independently on iOS and Android systems, initially available in the U.S. and Canada. This app is intended to enhance your existing Crunchyroll memberships and will be accessible as a premium extra. Furthermore, they plan to integrate it with web browsers in the future.
On Crunchyroll Manga, fans can now access a variety of new and timeless manga titles from leading publishers, all conveniently gathered together. These manga stories on Crunchyroll Manga will initially be available in English, with the intention to offer more language options as the platform grows, much like how Crunchyroll’s streaming service has expanded.
Purini stated that Crunchyroll Manga will be an exceptional online manga application, featuring collections from well-known publishers. This gives fans unprecedented access to innovative works that fuel our beloved anime. As we enhance our collaborations for this exciting project, our goal is to further enrich the Crunchyroll membership experience by augmenting our extensive anime library, Crunchyroll Game Vault, and the wide array of items available in the Crunchyroll Store.
