Takanobu Mizuno will helm the project, with animation by KAMIKAZE DOUGA; the anime platform is teaming with Aniplex, Sony Music, Playstation Productions to produce.
Crunchyroll has teamed with Aniplex (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Solo Leveling), Sony Music, and PlayStation Productions to create an anime series adapted from Sucker Punch Productions’ Ghost of Tsushima video game as well as its “Legends” cooperative multiplayer experience.
The adaptation will be helmed by Takanobu Mizuno, with Gen Urobuchi (NITRO PLUS) for story composition and animation by KAMIKAZE DOUGA. Sony Music will serve as the strategic music and soundtrack partner for the series.
“This project is a testament to the creative synergy within the Sony family, uniting the expertise of PlayStation Studios and PlayStation Productions; the creative team of Sucker Punch Productions and Aniplex; Sony Music’s iconic global artist roster; and Crunchyroll’s fan-first global marketing and distribution footprint,” said Rahul Purini, President of Crunchyroll. “The Ghost of Tsushima anime will offer fans an exciting new way to experience the game in an anime style that will be bold and groundbreaking.”
“Having already proven the immense quality and versatility of our gaming properties across multiple successful film and television projects, we couldn’t be more excited to announce our first ever anime adaptation,” said Asad Qizilbash, Head of PlayStation Productions. “’Ghost of Tsushima’s rich, immersive world and its fantastical Legends mode based on Japanese mythology provide the perfect canvas for this project, and Aniplex is the perfect partner to translate Sucker Punch Productions’ hit video game into a stunning new anime series.”
“We are excited to create new opportunities for our artists to engage with such incredible global IP,” said Tom Mackay, President, Premium Content, Sony Music Entertainment. “Music plays such a key role in the overall audience viewing experience and we are thrilled to be working alongside our Sony partners to develop compelling content for fans around the world.”
The series will premiere exclusively on Crunchyroll in 2027. More details, including the creative team and cast, will be revealed later. The announcement was made as part of Sony Group Corporation’s CES (Consumer Electronics Show) press conference in Las Vegas.
