PlayStation Productions, Sony Music, Aniplex, and Crunchyroll have announced a Ghost of Tsushima anime series based on the popular game by Sucker Punch Productions.
The new Ghost of Tsushima anime series, which is being produced by Aniplex, will premiere sometime in 2027 exclusively via Crunchyroll.
Fans can expect the new series to be produced by Aniplex as mentioned, with director Takanobu Mizuno, story composition Gen Urobuchi (NITRO PLUS), and animation by KAMIKAZE DOUGA. Sony Music will handle its music and soundtrack partnering, and the companies hope to “bring Ghost of Tsushima: Legends’ traditional samurai aesthetics to life with cinematic storytelling and striking visuals.”
