Multiplayer Ghost of Tsushima becomes available separately and gets new Rivals mode

The multiplayer mode of PlayStation game Ghost of Tsushima will be available separately on September 3. Sony and developer Sucker Punch announced this in a blog post. The standalone multiplayer mode will cost 20 euros.

Sucker Punch reports in a blog post that players who purchase the Ghost of Tsushima: Legends multiplayer mode separately can upgrade it to the full Director’s Cut version of Ghost of Tsushima at any time. For PS4 users, it costs 50 euros, while an upgrade to the PS5 version costs 60 euros. The multiplayer mode will also get a new Rivals mode on September 3rd. This is a game mode where two teams of two players compete against each other to defeat waves of enemies.

With every enemy defeated in Rivals mode, players collect ‘Magatama’. This allows them to inflict damage on the other team, for example by buying curses that plague the opponents. When users have spent enough Magatama, they will unlock a Final Stand wave of enemies. Players win when they win.

In addition to Rivals, the multiplayer mode of the samurai game also gets a Gear Mastery game system. This allows players to upgrade their gear to level 120, where it was previously up to 110. Users can also use this to unlock a second perk slot. Furthermore, Ghost of Tsushima: Legends will get a new update on August 20, which will introduce some other new features. Developers would have rebalanced the survival mode to shorten the play sessions, among other things.
