Sucker Punch Productions has a new patch coming up soon for Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut with a focus on changes to Ghost of Tsushima: Legends. Patch 2.12 randomizes enemy spawn points in Survival and Rivals for each new match, though Nightmare Survival will offer a fixed spawn pattern each week. This is to ensure a level playing field for those grinding the leaderboards.
Perhaps more important is that the patch will introduce matchmaking for Nightmare Survival and Nightmare Story, allowing players to fill empty slots. The feature is in the “testing” phase and Sucker Punch is monitoring to ensure it “doesn’t upset game balance.” It may even be removed later based on player feedback so give it a shot now while you can.
Check out some of the patch notes below with the full notes here. Ghost of Tsushima is currently available for PS4 with the Director’s Cut having released in August for PS4 and PS5. The latter added the new Iki Island expansion along with DualSense support and full lip-syncing for Japanese audio.
