Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cutadded quite a few new features to the base game but also a few bugs. In response, the game’s developer,Sucker Punch, has been steadily releasing patches to clear up its problems and touch up minor issues. For instance,Ghost of Tsushima’s recent 2.07 patch cleared up bugs that caused things like the Fundoshi armor to go missing and for players to miss out on completed mission rewards.
However, the game still has other issues it’s contending with, so despiteGhost of Tsushimapatch 2.07 releasing only a few days ago, Sucker Punch has already followed it up with the 2.08 update. However, like previous updates, patch 2.08 doesn’t make any drastic changes to the game, but it does seem to be preparing both the standalone version and full game version ofGhost of Tsushima:Legendsfor a new content update happening tomorrow, September 3.

Ghost of Tsushimaupdate 2.08 specifically updates these four things:
Again, small update. Most of the fixed bugs didn’t even warrant specification. And while it’s nice to know that the load times for cosmetics have been bolstered to match withGhost of Tsushima’s famous loading times, the most interesting thing about the 2.08 patch is its note on “variousLegendsadjustments.”
As mentioned, Sucker Punch plans to release yet anotherGhost of Tsushimapatch tomorrow; only this one will significantly impact the state of the game, specificallyLegends. The new update, presumablyGhost of Tsushima2.09, will introduce thenew Rivals Modeand Gear Expansion system intoLegendsthat Sucker Punch has been teasing. Rivals Mode will pit teams of two against each other: Whoever defeats the most waves of enemies wins.
Ghost of Tsushima: Legends' new Gear Mastery Systemis a bit more complex. It will allow players to level up their gear from 110 to 120 by overcoming Mastery Challenges. As they accomplish Mastery Challenges, players will obtain new abilities and techniques for each of their classes. That, and raising a gear’s Ki level to 120 will also give it a new perk slot for players to take advantage of. Simply put,Ghost of Tsushima’s 2.08 update may be small, but it’s setting the stage for players to experience something much bigger.
Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cutis available now on PS4 and PS5.
