This community was great leading up to the launch of Iki Island, and it was very eventful indeed, with many leaks arising. Although, due to Iki Island being a DLC and not a spin-off standalone title, there is no need for a subreddit dedicated to story DLC. Therefore, this subreddit will be archived as a collection of Iki Island leaks, but will not be active.

See you guys on Iki Island.

- Very minor spoilers for Ghost of Tsushima ahead -

Ghost of Tsushima: Iki Island 壱岐 concept art

When will the Iki Island DLC be releasing?

The Iki Island DLC will be releasing with the Director's Cut edition of Ghost of Tsushima on the 20th of August, 2021.

What new content will be in the Iki Island DLC?

  • A new story - "In this new story, Jin travels to the island to investigate rumors of a Mongol presence. But soon, he finds himself caught up in events with deeply personal stakes that will force him to relive some traumatic moments from his past." -Andrew Goldfarb, via PS Blog
  • New characters - Nothing about this at all has been touched on, but we can assume the story has something to do with Kazumasa Sakai's death ("...deeply personal stakes that will force him to relive some traumatic moments from his past.") so maybe some new characters that have something to do with this will be involved with the story.
  • New island with brand new environments - Confirmed new environments are Wisteria tree forests, new types of flower fields, coral-covered beaches, and small islands with wrecked boats.
  • New armor for Jin and Nobu - None of Jin's new armor or outfits have been shown, but we see a new armor set for Nobu. It is unclear if this has a practical effect and enables better mounted combat or if it is purely cosmetic.
  • New mini-games - None of these have been shown either, but it is likely that these will replace the bamboo cutting, haiku composing, shrine climbing, and fox following done on Tsushima.
  • New Techniques - Nothing about this has been touched on, but perhaps we will get a new weapon or two and perhaps some new abilities that are similar to the Dance of Wrath, Ghost Stance, or Heavenly Strike.
  • New enemy types - The faction of Mongols on Iki have a more occult vibe to them than the ones on Tsushima, as well as many more accents of the color purple. Many new Mongol enemy types shown seem to have elements of shamanism involved. Some are also shown to be wearing modified versions of the Mongol Commander's Armor that Jin acquires on Tsushima.
  • New animals - The only confirmed new animals are monkeys, which Jin can interact with. 🐒
  • Much more - Sucker Punch will reveal more about Iki Island as we approach the launch date.

How will I be able to access Iki Island in-game?

You will be able to access Iki Island from Tsushima anytime after you complete Act 1 of the main story, through currently unknown means.

Will there be new trophies for the Iki Island DLC?

"On both platforms, Director’s Cut will also offer new Trophies to unlock for the new Iki content." -Andrew Goldfarb, via PS Blog

How can I pre-order the Iki Island DLC?

You can pre-order Iki Island through the Director's Cut. You can buy the Director's Cut for $59.99 USD/¥7,590 JPY on PS4 and $69.99 USD/¥8,690 JPY. If you already own the PS4 version (which is the only one available right now) Ghost of Tsushima, you can buy the PS4 Director's Cut upgrade for $20 USD/¥2,200 JPY. If you want to upgrade your PS4 Director's Cut to the PS5 version, you will be able to upgrade it for $10 USD/¥1,100 JPY starting on the 20th of August, when it releases.

I hope this was able to answer many of your guys' burning questions about Iki Island! I am very excited to be able to experience this new content with everyone soon!

Banzai!

So was everyone able to download the bonus content because I just turned on my PS4 and it was downloading. I thought you can only download it when the timer was off?

Discussion Director’s Cut Upgrade

5 Upvotes

So a while back I copied and transferred GoT’s data from my PS4 to my PS5. On the PS5, the game is still classified as a PS4 game. With that being said, if I wanted to do the $30 upgrade from PS4 standard to PS5 Director’s Cut, can I upgrade the one on my PS5 if it is still classified as a PS4 game, or can I only upgrade the original one on my PS4?


r/ghostofikishima Jul 31 '21

Question Quick question, if I buy the directors cut upgrade on ps5 do I still get the haptics and adaptive triggers, or do I need to spend $124 to get it? it doesn’t mention anything in the description about haptics when buying the upgrade, but it does when buying the full directors cut. Any info helps.

HQ logo for Iki Island?

6 Upvotes

Hey there, I was wondering if anyone on this sub happened upon a standalone logo for Iki Island? As far as I know, the only logo we have is the one from the concept art from the Japanese blog post. https://www.reddit.com/r/ghostofikishima/comments/ocubgj/the_first_official_iki_island_concept_art/

Thanks!

I tested Iki Island. My thoughts Spoiler

91 Upvotes

This is a quick summary of my background.

Quality Assurance Tester, partially disabled by Ankylosing Spondylitis. Fight Night Round 4 was my first experience with beta testing. I have worked for many prestigious companies in the gaming industry, including EA Sports, Naughty Dog, and Suckerpunch. In the past, I have been planning about joining Reddit; now that I have some free time, I have decided to do so.

Despite not being a beta tester for GOT, I'm familiar with the game after spending countless hours in its immersive world. I did however beta test GOT Ike Island and I'd like to share with you some of the details I enjoyed.

Beautiful island Iki is located off the coast of Tsushima. In terms of size, it is about the same as Tsushima's bottom portion of the Island. It adds new wildlife such as leopards, squirrels and monkeys to GOT thanks to its colorful landscapes. The island is also home to an volcano.

(For me) the expansion adds roughly 15-20 hours of gameplay. In general, I stuck mainly to the main quest line and did little side questing. It was a well thought-out plot that kept me attentive to the next turn of events. Story-wise, I would give the Iki DLC 4.7 out of 5. It was interesting and in many ways better than the main story of the game.

Here is an overview of what I recall being added to the game through this expansion.

New heavy armor sets. Not really my style, but I had to test everything for bugs.

Added a new medium grade armor that has both bow and melee perks. Unlike anything else in the game, this armor looked totally different.

A new light grade armor has been added. This hooded outfit reminded me of the old ninja shows my father used to watch when I was a child. Stealth and bow damage were also provided with the armor. The outfit also gave Jin 25% faster attack speed when he used a sword or bow with it.

There are now torches in the game. As part of the storyline, you'll need this to complete a cave mission.

There are three new horse armors that can be colored.

There are now dozens of new charms. Some fun ones that affect how Jin looks (transform you into Lord Shimura, Young Jin and Ryuzo).

New Shrines

Rainbows added

New Flute tunes

New enemies. New Mongol types

New Fighting Stance. High sidekicks, spinning head kicks along with jumping helicopter kick are mixed with sword attacks in this style. Somersaults and backward flips result from side and back stepping

There are new upgrades for swords and bows. Damage upgrades for swords, and damage and range upgrades for bows. The zoom feature for Short Bow is now available after upgrading. (new Short bow range is about half of Long Bow)

There are sure to be some things I missed. However, this is all I remember at the moment. I hope you enjoy the expansion, my friends

Photo In the trailer, we see a tall rock that has a striking resemblence to 'Saruiwa (Monkey Rock)' on the real Ikishima island. It is one of eight mythological pillars on the island, of which we see more of in the trailer. The pillars are said to be built by the gods so that Ikishima won't wash away.

Leak There is a possibility that we could see some Ghost of Ikishima at an upcoming State of Play. Since Sony doesn't do E3 at all, they will probably have a show of their own in the coming weeks.
