Ghost of Tsushima's free multiplayer update 'Legends' announced

Sony PlayStation has finally revealed a new multiplayer update for Ghost of Tsushima, titled 'Legends.' Ghost of Tsushima is an action-adventure open-world video game title that is exclusive for the console. The game released on July 17, 2020, on PS4 and PS4 Pro.

Ghost of Tsushima's upgrade to Sony's next-generation console, PlayStation 5, has set the gaming community abuzz.

No one had speculated that the developers were working on a multiplayer update. Ghost of Tsushima Legends tells a different story and is unrelated to the primary campaign.

PlayStation Blog describes the game as,

Legends is an entirely new experience — it’s a separate mode that doesn’t follow Jin or the companions from his journey, but instead focuses on four warriors who have been built up as legends in stories told by the people of Tsushima.

The game is designed to be played with friends. To play Ghost of Tsushima, players can form a team of 2-4 players via online matchmaking or by inviting friends. As it is a four-player co-op game, Legends will allow players to choose from 4 different classes. They are:

• Samurai ( Tank class ),
• Hunter ( Archer class ),
• Ronin ( High Dps class ),
• Assassin ( High Dps. Trickster )

The new multiplayer will feature a mission-type called raids. For those who don't know, raids are long missions that offer the most robust set of enemies, differing in variety. In MMOs or standard multiplayer co-op games, players get exotic loots or materials to complete these raids.
