Iki Island Expansion | Ghost of Tsushima Wiki

Iki Island Expansion for Ghost of Tsushima (GoT) is a brand new and upcoming game DLC story expansion. It is part of the Director's Cut version of the original game that released back in June of 2020. Iki Island follows our protagonist Jin Sakai, who journeys into the dark secrets of the island. The expansion which is included with the Director's Cut, is available for PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®5, and it is scheduled to release on August 20, 2021.

 

Iki Island Expansion Overview

As part of the Director’s Cut version of the game, players will be able to experience a new story expansion that follows the game's protagonist, Jin Sakai, on Iki Island where he'll discover new locations, characters, tales to complete, and uncover the secrets that lie on the mysterious island.

The journey begins when jin discovers a suspicious and mysterious Mongol tribe has taken over the island of Iki. The tribe is led by a revered shaman called Ankhsar Khatun, known to her followers as “the Eagle.” As both a khatun and a shaman, she is not only a conqueror of nations, but a shepherd of souls. And the terror that she holds against Jin and his people will put their survivability to the test.

The only way for Jin to remove this threat is for him to return to the island, to confront new enemies, to face his old fears, and break through his traumas. In this expansion, not only will you explore and fight against new adversaries, but you will also dive deep into the untold dark past of clan Sakai.

 

Playstation Blog's Description of Iki Island:

Our semi-fictional version of Iki Island provides a stark contrast to Tsushima. It is a wild, lawless land of raiders and criminals, scarred by memories of war, and fiercely independent; the samurai have not been in control there for decades. Skilled though he is, Jin can’t take on the Mongols alone. He will have to work with—or around—a coterie of unsavory characters to take the fight to the Eagle. The cost of failure is too high. If the Eagle and her tribe subdue Iki and muster the support of its people, Tsushima and the rest of Japan will be in grave danger.

The stories you find on Tsushima are filled with action and adventure. The same is true for Iki Island. In the fight to save Iki, Jin will encounter pirates and smugglers, mad monks and haunted caves. There will be new legends to hear, and new techniques to learn. Jin will have to bring all his skills to bear to defeat this new enemy. 

We’ll also continue telling intimate, emotional, personal stories. Stories about real people struggling to let go of old hatreds and survive in a time of war. Stories about how it feels to be caught between preserving cherished beliefs and defending your home. What it means to be Lord Sakai… and what it means to be the Ghost.
