Sony announces Ghost of Tsushima anime planned for 2027

While PlayStation does not typically have a massive presence at CES each year, the console maker has announced a bunch of interesting ancillary projects set to come out of PlayStation Productions and Sony proper – including an anime based on the much-loved Ghost of Tsushima; set to arrive in 2027.

Announced on Stage during CES (and expanded upon via a press release), Sony and its anime subsidiary Crunchyroll officially revealed that they are currently working on an anime adaptation of 2020’s PS4 open-world action-adventure title Ghost of Tsushima, saying:

“Crunchyroll announced during Sony Group Corporation’s CES 2025 press conference today that an anime series based on Sucker Punch Productions’ Ghost of Tsushima video game and its Ghost of Tsushima: Legends multiplayer experience is officially in production. The anime will exclusively premiere on Crunchyroll in 2027.”

Little else has been shared about the project currently, though it will be directed by Takanobu Mizuno – known best for their work on the Star Wars: Visions episode ‘The Duel’. The adaptation will be produced in collaboration with Aniplex which was founded by Sony back in 1995. Additionally, Sony Music will be (unsurprisingly) in charge of the anime’s score/soundtrack.

This won’t be the only adaptation of Ghost of Tsushima, as a live-action film was announced back in 2021 – though we have heard little from the project since, aside from the fact that it could be the first in a line of films/TV shows.

Almost 5 years on from the initial release of Ghost of Tsushima, it seems the chess pieces have all begun to fall into place, with the aforementioned film likely to be not too far away – and a sequel to the game finally arriving some time this year (hopefully).
