Ghost of Tsushima Gets A New Difficulty Option, Lethal

Ghost of Tsushima has a new patch available now. Adding a brand new difficulty option called Lethal.

In this option, enemy weapons are more aggressive but weapon attacks from both Jin and enemies are much more dangerous. It's more like a realism mode, where attacks carry far more consequences. Sucker Punch also added the ability to lower combat intensity for an easier experience or for those looking for that perfect photo. Photo mode has become especially popular for Ghost of Tsushima players and this will allow users to capture that perfect moment in combat.

In addition, more accessibility options have been added along with improved stability.

New difficulty level: Lethal

– Enemy weapons are more deadly, but Jin’s katana is also more deadly

– Enemies are more aggressive in combat

– Enemies detect you faster

– Tighter Parry and Dodge windows

 

Patch 1.05 will also include the following new options in the accessibility menu:

Lower Intensity Combat

Lower intensity mode is meant to maintain the heart and feel of Ghost of Tsushima combat while relaxing several timing-specific elements. Combat is less intense, giving you more time to react. Stealth settings are more forgiving, and enemies take longer to detect you.

– Most enemy attacks which are normally unblockable become blockable when Lower Intensity is enabled. Blocking with L1 will keep you safe from more attacks than standard combat, though some attacks must still be dodged.

– Enemies break off their attack combos after damaging you, giving you a chance to recover before the next wave of attacks. In addition, your heavy attacks will interrupt attacks from Brutes, giving you another way to stop their combos.

– Enemies will not attack you while you’re using Resolve to heal

– Enemy awareness builds more slowly, giving you more time to recover after being spotted

Text changes

– Large Text option: Increases text size of subtitles, mission objectives and interact prompts by 150% when enabled

– Added option to turn speaker name off when subtitles are enabled

– New subtitle text color options in addition to white: Yellow, Blue, Red, Green

Patch 1.05 also includes additional bug fixes.
