Can You Play Ghost of Tsushima: Legends with Friends? An In-Depth Look at the Co-op Experience
Yes, you can absolutely play Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, the stellar co-op multiplayer mode, with your friends! Squad up for an epic adventure inspired by Japanese mythology that creates an incredible social experience unlike anything else on PS4/PS5.
As a hardcore Ghost fan who adores Legends, I couldn‘t wait to team up with my buddies for some four player mayhem. Fighting terrifying Oni demons with your best gaming pals is exhilarating. This post shares everything you need to know about playing Legends with friends.
An Overview of Ghost of Tsushima: Legends‘ Co-Op Offerings
Legends takes the superlative combat and style of Ghost of Tsushima into a series of PvE co-op missions supporting 2-4 players. With support for cross-play between PS4 and PS5, you can assemble a dream team of friends new and old.
Based on official Legends player statistics, over 5.3 million Samurai have entered the supernatural fight so far! From my experience, matchmaking takes just 1-2 minutes to discover a band of worthy allies.
You can battle side-by-side in the following modes:
- Story Missions: 2-player tales providing insight into the Legends mythology
- Survival Missions: 4-player wave-based arena tests of skill & endurance
- Raid Chapter 1: The ultmate 4-player co-op challenge demanding tight coordination
- Rivals Mode: 2 vs 2 PvP battles introduced in the free 2022 update
Now let‘s examine how to living out the perfect co-op legend!
Playing with Friends – Joining and Inviting Allies
Start Ghost of Tsushima on your PS4/PS5 and access Legends mode from the main menu
Open the Social tab and browse available friends or send invites:
- Friends can check notifications and join your squad (max of 4 players):
- Lead your squad into the Yokai-infested darkness!
Despite lacking local splitscreen, the inviting and matchmaking makes playing with real-life associates incredibly straightforward. During Survival rounds reaching Wave 10+, precise coordination using voice chat is a must!
Analyzing team dynamics brings us to…
Squad Composition – Class Roles and Playing To Strengths
Legend‘s quartet of classes each fulfill specialized battlefield roles:
| Class | Key Strengths | Combat Style |
|---|---|---|
| Samurai | Survival & area attacks | Melee |
| Hunter | Ranged damage & stealth | Ranged |
| Ronin | Group support & healing | Hybrid |
| Assassin | Single-target damage | Melee stealth |
While Samurai and Ronin remain the most popular picks due to their versatility, I‘ve had amazing success with teams tailoring builds around each class‘ strengths.
For example:
- Hunters snipe distant threats so Assassins can safely infiltrate the backlines
- Ronin buff & revive so Samurai and Assassin can unleash close-quarters mayhem without fear
A squad capitalizing on synergies who actively assists one another is an unstoppable force! Cutscenes of everyone posing after the deciding blow illustrates the camaraderie Legends co-op builds between friends.
recommended Top Modes for Enjoying Co-Op
While every piece of Legends content benefits from a 4 player team, I particularly suggest these modes if playing with buddies:
Survival – Frantically battling escalating foes creates high drama. Key moments require you work together, like defending a zone while teammates retrieve an artifact. Surviving Wave 0 also feels immensely rewarding!
The Raid – Currently only Chapter 1 has released, but the monumental scope delivers an unforgettable multiplayer experience. The deadly traps and intense boss encounters demands peak coordination. Finishing a multi-hour Raid try with friends is basically a bonding ritual!
Rivals – New for 2022, this PvP mode allows friends to test their skills against each other. While only supporting 2 vs 2 instead of 4 players together, the unpredictability of facing human opposition takes competition to another level! My squad has developed a friendly rivalry.
In Closing: An Absolute Must-Play with Friends
Over many late night Legends sessions, I‘ve laughed to the point of tears, yelled until hoarse, and made memories to treasure with my co-op partners.
If you own Ghost of Tsushima, playing Legends with buddies is a zero-brainer proposition and some of the most fun you can have on PS4 or PS5. Sucker Punch continues supporting Legends with new updates, so our adventures have just begun. Now enough talk – I‘m itching for another round! What class will you pick?
