Ghost of Tsushima: Legend

legend This is a multiplayer online version. Ghost of Tsushima A franchise based on Japanese mythology and folklore. Players can choose from one of four classes (Samurai, Hunter, Ronin, and Assassin) and play with friends or through online matchmaking. Like many online games, it's not story-driven, so there's a lot of room for the animation staff to create new storylines.

A live-action film adaptation of the original game has also been announced, and director Chad Stahelski has already stated that he wants the film to be made in Japanese rather than English and feature a Japanese cast. After the success of Shogun, it might be the perfect time for this kind of adaptation. But since then there hasn't been much news about the production (the cast has been rumored but unconfirmed).
