Ghost of Tsushima Legends is one of the best DLC ever released. Not only for its sheer quality, but also for the fact that it was completely free for owners of the main game. A new major update that’s just gone live means that Ghost of Tsushima: Legends is now available as a standalone version for people to purchase if they don’t have the main game. Owners of the standalone version and owners the main game are able to play together. Cross play also ensures that friends on PS5 and PS4 can play together in co-op.
Rivals is an all-new competitive mode now live in Ghost of Tsushima: Legends and brings with it new Trophies and stunning new cosmetics. In Rivals, two teams of two compete to defeat waves of enemies. With each defeated foe, you collect Magatama that you can use to harm the other team. For example, you can spend Magatama on Shades to block your opponents’ purchases, Curses (health drain, exploding bodies, etc), Hwacha fire, and more. Once you’ve spent enough Magatama, you’ll unlock Final Stand waves. Complete these before the opposing team to win.
The Rivals update is also accompanied by an update to Gear Mastery system. A new expansion of the progression systems also brings new rewards for Legends. Players who’ve earned 110-level gear will now be able to bind it to a class and activate “Mastery Challenges.” This will allow a piece of gear’s Ki level to be upgraded to 120 and eventually unlock a second perk slot. As you activate Mastery Challenges, you can also unlock a new Ability and new Techniques for each class.
