From a historical perspective, Khotun Khan appears to be based on Kublai Khan, who was the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire during this time. Although he was technically the fifth Khagan of the Mongol Empire, Kublai’s reign is known for his founding of the Yuan dynasty in China after conquering it and ruled until his death in 1294. He was able to expand the borders of the empire from the Pacific Ocean all the way west to the Black
The setting of Ghost of Tsushima takes place during the first invasion of Japan by the Mongol Empire . In the few trailers fans have already seen, the game seems to show the Mongols having a lot of success on Tsushima Island, basically razing it to the ground. In actuality, this event appears to be largely t
All in all, we have seen very little about Ghost of Tsushima updates|https://tsushimagame.com/ of Tsushima , which is why I think I have such a close eye on it this year. Compared to other major releases that are coming up in 2020 ( Cyberpunk 2077 , Final Fantasy VII Remake , DOOM Eternal ) I feel like there are many relatively unknown factors with Ghost of Tsushima . Heck, news on the game went so quiet in 2019 that many started questioning whether or not it would end up just altogether becoming a PS5 game . That obviously won’t be the case, but it speaks to how silent Sony has been with this ti
_ The Last of Us 2 _ comes out on PS4 at the end of May and is arguably the most anticipated game on PS4 in 2020. 2013’s _ The Last of Us _ is still regarded as being a shining example of a game with a compelling story, and Naughty Dog is aiming to recapture that end-of-the-generation hype once again with _ TLoU 2 _ when it releases later this year. Furthermore, _ TLoU _ is also often considered to be the PS3’s best game, so _ TLoU 2 _ has some big shoes to fill. The ending of _ TLoU _ caused many online discussions when the game first came out so it’ll be interesting to see what direction the sequel takes the series i
Following the news that The Last of Us Part 2 has been delayed indefinitely , all eyes turned to June when Sony’s next big exclusive title would be launching. For now, Suck Punch remains adamant that Ghost of Tsushima remains on track for launch, though with the ever evolving global pandemic, things could suddenly change on a d
Details on the PS5’s launch are still a little scarce so the latter half of 2020 is more on the empty side for Sony as of now, but that could obviously all change with a PS5 reveal event . The first half of the year is going to be huge for the PS4 though, as it’s getting (and has gotten) a big exclusive title every month until June. In February, Sega’s _ Yakuza 5 _ and Sony’s own _ Dreams _ (by Media Molecule) launched on the PS4, but the games that most people have their eyes on start to come out in Ma
This is where the success came to an end. After an initial surge inland, a senior commander had been injured and eventually died. It’s unknown why the Mongol didn’t capitalize on their success at this point. Instead, the army hung back near their ships with some reports indicating that many of the ship captains were concerned about a larger Japanese force showing up. Others speculate low supplies or the death of the senior commander having an impact on the campaign. Ultimately, the Mongols decided to retreat back north to Korea under the blanket of night. This proved to be unwise as they encountered severe storms which reportedly sunk 200 ships with 13,500 men l
Jin tries to walk over to pick up his sword but is then shot with an arrow once more by a sniper way out in the distance. The narrator states that “some say he died,” as the arrow strikes him down. The next shot contradicts this as he is seen riding a horse through a wide open field. This is where the gameplay is shown off in the trailer, as the first bit of playable action that is shown is the horse riding through the fi
Naughty Dog closed out the PS3 generation with _ The Last of Us _ and is intending on doing the same with _ The Last of Us 2 _ on PS4, while Sucker Punch began the PS4 generation with _ Infamous Second Son. _ After helping launch the console, Sucker Punch is now helping send it off with the launch of _ Ghost of Tsushima _ at the end of June. The game takes place during the Mongol invasion of Japan during the 1270s and has the player take the role of Jin, a master samu
In terms of Ghost of Tsushima , Khotun Khan is a cunning and ruthless general of the Mongol Empire. He leads and commands a massive fleet of ships and soldiers in the first invasion of Japan’s Tsushima Island. To achieve total victory, Khotun relies on his knowledge of the Samurai way to ultimately destroy them. The Great Khan is voiced by Patrick Gallag
The first invasion took place in 1274 with about 900 ships setting sail from South Korea. The island of Tsushima was the first location of the conflict thanks to its location to Japan. With a small number of soldiers against a massive invasion force, the Tsushima army held out as long as they could but ultimately fell. The Mongols continued forward to Iki Island next, before making landfall at Hakata Bay on mainland Ja
