One of the most anticipated Sony exclusives has announced that pre-orders start today, May 8, 2020. Ghost of Tsushima launches July 17, 2020.
The game disc alone will go for an SRP of Php 2,999 ($59.99). If you pre-order the physical game, you're entitled to a Ghost of Tsushima omamori key holder (subject to availability of stocks, of course). Hopefully, by July 17, we'll all be out of quarantine. The game itself will have English and Japanese voice audio with Thai, English, Japanese, traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, and Korean subs. Knowing some of my weebier friends, they're likely to play it in Japanese with English subs.
The Ghost of Tsushima Collectors Edition SRP is at Php 10,599 ($210). It comes with the following:
- Game
- Sakai Mask with Stand
- Cloth Map
- Sashimono (War Banner)
- Furoshiki (Wrapping Cloth)
- SteelBook Case
- 48-page Mini Art Book by Dark Horse
There is another special edition, but I'm not sure if it'll be offered in the Philippines locally. The Ghost of Tsushima Special Edition will be available only at select retailers, likely abroad, and will go for about $70. Here's what that'll come with.
- Steelbook case with game
- Voucher for in-game Hero of Tsushima mask and sword skin
- Charm of Hachiman's Favor
- One technique point
- PS4 dynamic theme based on the box art
- Samurai PS4 dynamic theme
- Digital mini art book by Dark Horse
- Director's commentary
And then, there's the Ghost of Tsushima Digital Deluxe Edition, which should be available everywhere, unless there's some kind of region-locking shenanigans going on. That goes for $70, as well, and it includes:
- Hero of Tsushima skin set: provides an additional in-game horse, saddle, mask, sword, and armor set for Jin
- Charm of Hachiman's Favor
- One technique point
- PS4 dynamic theme based on the box art
- Samurai PS4 dynamic theme
- Digital mini art book by Dark Horse
- Director's commentary
What do you think is the sweet spot? The digital deluxe and/or the special editions look pretty good, and for only $10 more than the regular base price.
