Ghost of Tsushima: Legends ESRB rating mentions In-Game Purchases
Tomorrow on September 3, 2021 Ghost of Tsushima: Legends will release on PS4 and PS5, however, according to a rating by ESRB the title will have in-game purchases on both platforms.
We don’t know yet whether this multiplayer mode of the title will be limited to cosmetics only or something else. In any case, you can read the general description of Ghost of Tsushima: Legends below.
This is a multiplayer action game in which players assume the role of a warrior/fighter (e.g., samurai, hunter, assassin, ronin) that joins others in a battle against supernatural forces. From a third-person perspective, players engage in melee combat using katanas, arrows, and throwing weapons to kill demons and enemy soldiers. Players can engage in stealth assassinations, jumping from rooftops and stabbing enemies; they can also perform finishing moves, such as slashing enemies’ throats or stabbing them in the neck or skull. Combat can be frenetic, highlighted by large splatters of blood and occasional dismemberment. A handful of sequences depict large piles of burned corpses.
It is worth mentioning that Ghost of Tsushima: Legends features a new PvP mode called Rivals will be added to the title. In Rivals, we will witness the clash between two teams of two users struggling with different waves of enemies. For each defeated enemy it will be possible to collect Magatama that can be used to inflict damage on the other team.
All features will be available at no additional cost to Ghost of Tsushima owners. However, the new standalone version of Ghost of Tsushima: Legends will be available on the PlayStation Store at a price of $19.99 / €19.99 / £15.99 for PS4 or PS5.
