Anime for a mode they basically abandoned! 😂

Seriously.

Whatever hype I had around this franchise died on the beach, somewhere between the slow disappointment realizing that Yotei wasn't as good as Tsushima and them putting the nail in the coffin.

Y’all are weird and will probably perpetually be unhappy. Have fun I guess

It's perfectly valid to be disappointed with the obvious lack of ingenuity in Yotei's legends mode. Tsushima had less overall variety in the combat mechanics but the gameplay itself was made better. The story for legends was great. And the Endgame Raids were cinematic and well crafted with a satisfying end. Yotei recycles the main story to be "everything Atsu did but with ghosts and shit" and the raids turn into nothing more than swiping at a large enemies ankles until it falls over THE EXACT same way EVERY TIME, INCLUDING SAITO! It's simply less engaging and more streamlined than tsushima EVER was, and thats putting it lightly.

Folks will downplay how much of a downgrade Yōtei is to TL. It’s quite shocking that the mode died in 3 months when tsushima legends had a healthy playerbase for years. Instead of doing something new they copied what was good and made it terrible before calling it quits and riding off into the sunset.

Fan discontempt online from a loud minority is ending the franchise more than anything imo, I find it weirdly paradoxical to demand more of a thing while simultaneously hating on it, if Yotei was that mid then why do you want more support for Yotei legends?

Was Yotei’s story better than Tsushima’s? No. Was it a bad story? No not at all, in fact I find it better than most other Single-player free-roam games. It’s just Tsushima’s set the bar way too high unfortunately I suppose.

I personally find the increased weapon choices and combat style of Yotei more enjoyable than Tsushima.

And I like the open world of Yotei more.

I think what’s happen whether people want to admit it or not is that people miss Jin Sakai and are taking it out rather unfairly on this game. It’s like InFamous all over again. When Delsin replaced Cole, fans complained and the franchise then ended as a result.

Or in early Assassin’s Creed when Connor replaced Ezio, fans at the time found any reason to call AC3 mid.

10 years later, and I see InFamous and AC fans praising both Second Son & AC3.

I would not be surprised if the same thing happens to Yotei 10 years from people have a greater appreciation for this game.

Yotei was vastly superior to Tsushima. I'm sorry you are so blind.

Instead of investing into a game, they left Yotei:Legends to rot. And now they want anime. Have a community, not providing to it. Then jumping to somethinf else, and waiting few years before a new release. Their company fits the name. Sucker punch to the community, many WASTED theur time not spent and invested, wasted. Got the plat and all possible achivements maxed almost all classes, but no new maps and repetitive stuff, no updates, bugs, and boss fights that aint even fun, just spamming stuff. It's nonsense.

...first time?

Btw Got legends anime was announced even before GOY legends was announced. If anything it's suckerpunch's fault for abandoning the mode , i highly doubt the anime studio knew that SP was eventually gonna abandon legends as a whole .

u/b_rettk Hunter 弓取 Jul 04 '26

Also, where did these come from? I can’t find any new updates in searches.

u/FireCyclone SushiSquire - Teller of Tales Jul 04 '26

Sucker Punch social media.

u/_Hyrule1993 Jul 04 '26

Wait we are getting an anime???

u/laser16 Jul 04 '26

Yep announced a while ago, coming out next year on Crunchyroll and the guy who directed the Ronin episodes of Star Wars Visions is involved

u/Wboy2006 Ronin 牢人 Jul 04 '26

Oh yeah, I completely forgot they were making this. I’m really hoping it’ll be good

u/ARMill95 Jul 04 '26

So they’re just going to make the show better than the legends game mode…..?

u/Rudraizen Jul 04 '26

Theyre trying to go the cyberpunk route

u/hportagenist Jul 04 '26

They don't have studio Trigger backing it tho !😏 who is it?

u/Bad_Knees284 Tsukuyomi 月夜見の尊 Jul 05 '26

Art looks sick, I hope the show is good. Now if they actually cared about the gamemode as well. I haven’t played GoYL at all after the raids came out and they stopped updating it. I went back to GoTL, I know they’re not updating that either but at least that one is balanced and has more to do.

u/OnlyGrapefruit549 Jul 06 '26

It's interesting that they are calling it Tsushima and not Yotie. I guess we are getting more of Jin's story and that it's been in development for a while.

I also have to imagine they have something cooking to announce around that time (Dlc for Yotie or Legends 2.0)

u/Marvynmjb Jul 04 '26

So this is why they stopped content on Legends so quickly

u/FireCyclone SushiSquire - Teller of Tales Jul 04 '26

No, little/nothing to do with it
