"f you’re a history buff, you may know that in addition to Tsushima, the neighboring island of Iki was also invaded during this time period," said Sucker Punch Productions Communications Manaher Andrew Goldfarb via the PlayStation Blog. "Today we’re excited to reveal that a whole new chapter in Jin’s journey is coming and will take place on Iki. In this new story, Jin travels to the island to investigate rumors of a Mongol presence. But soon, he finds himself caught up in events with deeply personal stakes that will force him to relive some traumatic moments from his past.
"We’ll have more to share about the story of Iki soon, but today we can confirm that beyond a whole new story and new characters, this new island also features tons of new content including brand new environments to explore, new armor for Jin as well as his horse, new mini-games, new techniques, new enemy types, and much more. There are even new animals to pet!"

Played the first third on PS4. Played the second third on PS5 with the 60fps update. Think I'll hold off on finishing the game until this drops.
Great, now please announce the same for The Last of US Part II with Factions and some added Joel DLC! I still have not played TLOU II or GOT. Will buy them when I get my PS5.
Bought the digital deluxe edition on launch on PS4 Pro and finished it with a platinum.
Very intrigued to buy the physical PS5 director’s Cut later on when i buy a PS5 when the game drops a bit in price.
Played act 1 and 2 on ps4 pro
Still haven't came back since last year,
I think I'm gonna finish it on 60 fps on ps5
Then ikishima once director's cut release haha!
Who was the director of the game?
Fake outrage: I’m not paying that price.
Gamers: Number 28 on Amazon Pre-Order! Vote with your wallet!
Just what I was hoping for . I didnt pick this up for PS4 because I was waiting for this version.
It already has faster loading and 60fps on ps5. No textures or graphical enhancements, just dlc basically?
I believe its had a resolution bump as well. Haptic feedback support and Japanese lip sync.
Ps5 support has 4k and 60 fps . I'm currently playing it with japanese audio, honestly never felt the lip syncwas out of place.
PS4 version to a PS5 one along with a expansion for 29$? not that bad.
20 bucks would've been fair
I paid 60 bucks and paying another 30 bucks to loyal fucking customers day one come on!?
We need them incentives we day one ish!
I'm already glad you get a properly working product most of the time day 1 with a Sony game. That's not the case with a lot of developers.
I enjoyed the game last year at launch and will enjoy the expansion as well.
Also you should purchase things based on the value at the time of purchase. Not future incentives.
They already upgraded GoT for ps5. It now runs smooth 4k 60fps and load time. The graphics are still the same though but its already beautiful on ps4
Negativity first, right?
Does Shikamaru have an issues with the pricing? I don’t know.
He was too busy mentioning how he reads that some other people are feeling negative towards this, rather than sharing his own views on it. Then he claims to be interested in the expansion, but can’t refrain himself from adding more negativity by mentioning how he feels about the console’s size. Everything he wrote [appear] phoney and dishonest.
Nothing is ever that serious...
I honestly have lost count on how many times he has posted about the PS5's size, and how he won't buy it until a slim version comes out. Post after post about the same thing, its old already. He is also so negative about everything PlayStation.
If you have the pro, then you should be able to game in 60fps. Don't think you need the ps5 just yet.
Not really since it's tiered , the base PS4 game to the PS5 directors cut with new content plus DLC $29.99 comes across to me as not great but Ok, not sure about the base PS4 game to PS4 Directors cut $19,99 pricing, half the price of the PS5 upgrade is my ceiling there, any idea of what the original DLC cost ?
In the end those that want it will buy it , and for anyone else playing on PS4 or PS5 BC mode should suffice until a GOTY version or lacking that the inevitable sales
What do you mean too big? Does your shelf not hold the weight or you don't have height space?
