After we got down to make a brand new Ghost recreation, we needed to take care of the core pillars established in Ghost of Tsushima: enjoying as a wandering warrior in Feudal Japan, providing freedom to discover at your individual tempo, and highlighting the great thing about the world.
We additionally needed to proceed to innovate.
