Sony didn’t discuss video games at CES 2025 but still had major announcements for its PlayStation franchises. These include an anime for Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima, titled Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, coming to Crunchyroll in 2027.
It’s noted to bring “traditional samurai aesthetics to life with cinematic storytelling and striking visuals.” Takanobu Mizuno (Star Wars: Visions – “The Duel”) is directing while NITRO PLUS’s Gen Urobuchi is in charge of the story composition.
The project is a collaboration between PlayStation Productions, Aniplex, Crunchyroll and Sony Music (the “music and soundtrack partner”).
Crunchyroll president Rahul Purini said in a press release, “This project is a testament to the creative synergy within the Sony family, uniting the expertise of PlayStation Studios and PlayStation Productions; the creative team of Sucker Punch Productions and Aniplex; Sony Music’s iconic global artist roster; and Crunchyroll’s fan-first global marketing and distribution footprint.
The Ghost of Tsushima anime will offer fans an exciting new way to experience the game in an anime style that will be bold and groundbreaking.” PlayStation Productions head Asad Qizilbash added, “Having already proven the immense quality and versatility of our gaming properties across multiple successful film and television projects, we couldn’t be more excited to announce our first-ever anime adaptation.
