Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sony and games developer Sucker Punch have announced that an enhanced director’s cut edition of their hit open-world samurai game Ghost of Tsushima will be released on 20 August for both the PS4 and PS5.

The upgraded version of the game will include all of the content from the original game as well as a new island, Iki, to explore. Sucker Punch say that means there will be new story content, characters, environments, armor, enemies, and more.

In a blog post, Sucker Punch’s Andrew Goldfarb added: “Anyone who already owns Ghost of Tsushima will be able to download a patch containing some new updates.

“Once again, many of these updates are directly thanks to the constant stream of feedback you’ve been providing us since launch, which we’re extremely appreciative of.”

Current owners will also be able to bring their existing saved games over to the new PS5 version.

Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut will cost $69.99 for the PS5 version and $59.99 for the PS4 version. If you have the PS4 version of the original game, you’ll be able to upgrade to the Director’s Cut version for $19.99 USD from 20 August. Upgrading to the enhanced PS5 version will cost an additional $9.99.
