This will be Sucker Punch's first game built from the ground up for the PS5, and they're excited about making the world of Tsushima feel more authentic by building on its foundations. They describe it further:
“We have expansive views that let you see far and wide across the environment, a brand new sky with sparkling stars and auroras, more believable wind motion on grass and vegetation, and many other improvements we’ll share in the future. Our new setting also gives us the opportunity to introduce new mechanics, gameplay improvements, and even new weapons.”
