Developer Sucker Punch Productions has revealed that the first raid for Ghost of Tsushima's new Legends multiplayer mode kicks off on October 30 for PlayStation 4. The raid, titled The Tale of Iyo, is a three-chapter mission that puts players directly into the heart of Iyo's realm. Players need a minimum Ki level of 100 and a full team of four Ghosts to tackle the raid. Sucker Punch recommends players finish Legends' story and survival missions on higher difficulties in order to obtain better gear. Doing so will get players raid-ready.

In related news, Sucker Punch just rolled out patch 1.13 for Ghost of Tsushima, which fixes a handful of bugs and other issues. Sucker Punch is also looking for writers interested in feudal Japan. According to a recent job listing, it looks like the team wants to expand on its new franchise.

 

Ghost of Tsushima's single-player campaign scored a 7/10 in GameSpot's review. "The game hits a lot of fantastic cinematic highs, and those ultimately lift it above the trappings of its familiar open-world quest design and all the innate weaknesses that come with it," wrote reviewer Edmond Tran, "but those imperfections and dull edges are definitely still there."
