Ghost of Tsushima: Sucker Punch Patches In New Horizon Forbidden West-Inspired Armor

Horizon Forbidden West is right around the corner – it hits PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on February 18 – and while there are plenty of trailers to watch in the meantime, there’s some new Aloy-inspired content waiting for you in Ghost of Tsushima. 

Sucker Punch Productions announced the release of a patch for Ghost of Tsushima’s samurai adventure game. It includes a brand new set of armor that is hidden on Iki Island. To the north of the game’s newest island, you’ll find a Wind Shrine with a puzzle for you to solve. Solve it and you’ll receive a new Aloy-inspired armor. 

“Our friends from Horizon Forbidden West are thrilled for us Guerrilla,” Sucker Punch’s tweet reads. “While we wait, today we’ve released a new patch for Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut that repairs a Wind Shrine to the north of Iki Island. Solve the puzzle there to earn an Aloy-inspired surprise…”

The tweet below shows that Jin Sakai, the protagonist of the new Iki Island Wind Shrine, receives an armor set similar to what Aloy would wear in Horizon. That’s not all, though. In addition to introducing a Platinum difficulty option in Survival mode, Ghost of Tsushima Legends has a multiplayer version. Also, the patch addresses a minor issue that can cause stuttering while playing.
