A surprised Ghost of Tsushima player has uncovered unique dialogue within the game’s world when performing the bowing feature towards corpses as the protagonist, Jin Sakai. Launching in 2020, Ghost of Tsushima is one of the most visually stunning games to arrive on Sony’s PlayStation 4 due to how incredibly it brings its vibrant Japanese locations to life. Intertwined with compelling characters and dangerous missions in a bid to protect the island of Tsushima from the fierce Mongol armies, Ghost of Tsushima’s world is an immersive representation of feudal Japan and a love letter to the samurai movie genre.
Even though some Ghost of Tsushima players were frustrated at the PC port on Steam, the open-world title by Sucker Punch was a huge success on PlayStation, selling more than 9.73 million copies by July 2022 and becoming one of Sony’s fastest-selling original IPs ever.
On Reddit, a Ghost of Tsushima player was shocked to discover hidden dialogue involving Jin Sakai and his bowing gesture. After over 90 hours of playtime in the game, ParsleyOk6291 posted that when Jin bows at corpses, the protagonist produces different unique lines to honor the dead. However, Jin doesn’t bow to all dead bodies, and they must be slain by Mongols, ronins, or bandits for the hidden dialogue to take effect.
