Ghost of Tsushima gets its own State of Play stream this Thursday

A big look ahead of its July 17 launch

Set aside 20 minutes or so this Thursday to be transported back to Feudal Japan. Sony’s giving Sucker Punch’s upcoming open-world samurai slasher its own spotlight on May 14.

Ghost of Tsushima is the sole subject of a new Sony State of Play stream this week. We’re told to expect “an extended look at new gameplay footage, including exploration, combat, and more.” About 18 minutes’ worth, to be exact.

All this goes down on May 14 at 4pm Eastern, 1pm Pacific. And, in the interest of managing expectations, Sony says “And just to be clear, there won’t be any PS5 news or updates in this episode.”
