Set in feudal Japan, this action-adventure game follows a skilled samurai named Jin as he defends Tsushima against Mongol invaders using his abilities and stealth.

Ghost of Tsushima follows the story of Jin Sakai, a samurai warrior who is forced to become a "ghost" in order to defend his homeland of Tsushima from the invading Mongol army in 1274. The game begins with a devastating battle in which Jin's uncle, Lord Shimura, is captured by the Mongols. Jin is the only survivor of his clan, and he sets out on a mission to rescue his uncle and liberate Tsushima from the Mongol occupation. As Jin progresses through the game, he must confront the harsh realities of war and the sacrifices required to protect his people.

Along the way, he meets a cast of characters who help him in his quest, including a thief named Yuna and a bowyer named Ishikawa. Throughout the game, players have the option to approach missions and battles as a samurai or a "ghost," using stealth and deception to take down enemies. Jin must also navigate his own moral code as he learns to adapt to the changing circumstances of the war. In the end, Jin must make difficult choices that will determine the fate of Tsushima and its people.
