Ghostwire: Tokyo has been heavily anticipated by players. At E3 2019 Ghostwire Tokyo was revealed by publisher Bethesda Softworks. Players have been eager to get their hands on the game and experience the full scope of what the title has to offer, especially with the number of features that will be present when playing the PlayStation 5 version of the game.
Developed by Tango Gameworks, the same developers behind The Evil Within series, Ghostwire: Tokyo follows the story of Akito, a man possessed by the spirit of a detective named KK. The duo must utilize their newfound supernatural abilities to unravel the mystery regarding the vanishing populace of Tokyo, all while fending off the numerous demonic spirits that are invading the city. The game was originally developed as a sequel to The Evil Within before taking life as its own game under the direction of Ikumi Nakamura, a veteran of the previous two Evil Within games. Nakamura eventually departed the project to create her own studio, and Kenji Kimura took over as game director.
There has been a lot of excitement leading up to the game’s release, as previews for Ghostwire have referred to the game as an intense supernatural adventure, while retaining many of the survival-horror elements that appeared in the developer’s past games. In addition, the game boasts fast-paced action amidst the game’s first-person combat, which appears to be expanded for an even greater experience on PS5.
In a new video, PlayStation unveiled all the many features that appear in the PS5 version of Ghostwire: Tokyo. These features aim to fully immerse the player in the world of Ghostwire by utilizing the Dualsense controller’s several features, such as adaptive triggers, haptic feedback, and even using the controller microphone.
All of these features are extremely impressive, and continue to tout how expressive of a system the PS5 is when developers utilize all the system’s capabilities to its fullest. It will be a fun and exciting experience to encounter the many enemy types in Ghostwire and have it feel as though the player is really there and experiencing Akito’s battles.
It won’t be all frights and scares throughout the game, however, as players in Ghostwire can interact with the cats and dogs in the environment, allowing for moments of levity and lighthearted whimsy in what is guaranteed to be a harrowing gaming experience.
Ghostwire: Tokyo launched March 25th for PC and PS5
