PlayStation has dropped a trailer, screenshots and a bunch of details for Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut’s new Iki Island expansion.
By far, the biggest piece of new information is the fact that you can pet cats, monkeys and deer. Jin is able to tame the animals of Iki Island with his flute. Once the animals have been calmed, Jin can return to pet them as often as you like. Deer can be found at the various deer sanctuaries on the island whilst monkeys can be found hanging at the local hot springs. This takes the cuteness of the foxes from the main story to a whole new level.
