Ghost of Tsushima
Sucker Punch Productions' open-world action game set during the 1274 Mongol invasion of Tsushima island. The game features feudal Japanese fortifications — yakata and mountain strongholds inspired by early Kamakura-period fortification styles — as key locations throughout its story and side quests.
This work features fictional or composite castle settings inspired by real Japanese castle architecture and history, rather than depicting specific named castles. The design language — tenshu towers, ishigaki stone walls, masugata gateways — draws directly from real feudal Japanese construction.
