Legends will be exclusively co-op, and it can be played with friends or via online matchmaking in groups of 2-4 players. There will also be four different classes – the Samurai, Hunter, Ronin, or Assassin – and each will have unique benefits and abilities that will be revealed in the future.
With two players you can play a series of co-op Story missions that will escalate into difficulty, and you will build on the foundation of the game Ghost of Tsushima with new magical twists that you often need to to sync with your partner.
With four players you will be able to take on victory-based Survival missions, and you and your team will have to work together to take on the toughest enemies that Tsushima has to offer, in addition to new Oni enemies with supernatural abilities.
Ghost of Tsushima: Legends will also feature a four-player Raid that will arrive shortly after the launch of this new mode, and it will “send you and your partners to a whole new realm to challenge a brutal, terrifying enemy . “
