‘Ghost Of Tsushima’ Adaptation Enlists Takashi Doscher As Screenwriter

PlayStation Productions is beginning to get its feet wet a bit in the movie industry. Despite varying reactions to the film itself, the studio’s Uncharted touts over $380 million at the worldwide box office. Up next, the studio will produce a new feature based on the wildly popular video game Ghost Of Tsushima. As first reported by Deadline, screenwriter and director Takashi Doscher is boarding the project to pen the screenplay.

Ghost of Tsushima is a 2020 action-adventure game. The game follows Jin Sakai, a samurai on a quest to protect Tsushima Island during the first Mongol invasion of Japan. It received several nominations at The Game Awards 2020, including Game of the Year, Best Game Direction, Best Narrative, and Best Performer.
