Sucker Punch already confirmed this, but for those of you who weren’t paying attention, it’s reiterated that Ghost of Tsushima will be playable in Japanese with subtitles. The game – which is striving for historical authenticity – will offer a dub as an alternative to the English voice acting. The Seattle studio’s working with Sony’s own Japan Studio to help ensure it gets all of the intricacies accurate.
Interestingly, unlike during this week’s E3 2018 press conference, the inFAMOUS maker is showing the PlayStation 4 exclusive to press in Japanese, so it clearly prefers the localisation, too. The level of care and attention that’s going into this title is quite wild: according to Eurogamer, the company even sent an audio scout overseas to record native Japanese birdsong.

Jap w/subs is how I'll be playing. The rest of ya'll can keep this Godzilla dub it seems to have in English.
But will the Mongols also speak Mongolian?
Kore wa subarashï nyüsudesu, kono gëmu ga deru no o matsu koto wa dekimasen.
It's always nice to have the choice. Personally, I think I'll go with the japanese voiceover, unless there isn't a good lip syncing, which I doubt.
As an expert in the Japanese language, I can reveal to the more unenlightened among you that 良い translates as 'good'.
You're welcome.

@JoeBlogs Thank you, it's amazing what Google translate can do
@Acquiescence Lol. Your avatar is making think Kat is hiding from Kratos now.
I must of been distracted at the time cuz I admit,I missed this part.Glad to know it has japanese voice overs though cuz this is exactly how I will be playing it.
@Ralizah me to
This is good. I'm not a dub/sub snob but when I first heard the English voices it took me out of the immersion and I thought, "I hope you can play in Japanese."
@ArkhamKnerd oh oleaze.english voice was great.im sticking to English voice.im not into japanese.voice.word up son
I always prefer an English VO to Japanese but this is a game that would seem really off with everybody speaking english. Good decision.
@playstation1995 haha no no I wasn't saying it was bad! I just think with the time period and location I think I'll enjoy it more in Japanese. Or I might switch back and forth to see how I like it. [word up son in Japanese]
I will be playing with japanese voiceover and english subtitles. English isnt my mothertongue so i dont really care and i prefer japanese for the sake of immersion.
Thank the gods! In this game it doesn't make sense with any other language
I'm not into reading subtitles that much but certain games shouldn't have English voices like the Yakuza series etc
Excellent! This was the one question I had coming away from the conference. Looking forward to reading the subtitles, to be honest. This game - I can't wait to play it - on PS5!
@ArkhamKnerd ok cool hahaha.😌.word up son
Oddly enough I only want to play this with Japanese dub and English Sub.
Great news, also I can't stop watching the amazing trailer/gameplay. This game will rule.
I miss the bad english dub, Yazuka, Shenmue, etc.
@Acquiescence I also used Google Translate.
Sweet! Japanese voices, English subtitles it is then.
Now if only God of War could be playable in Greek.
@Mad Pretty sure it is. Look it up.
Edit: Yup. You can play it in Greek dub.
That's cool. I'll probably end up playing it in Japanese. The English voice acting was pretty bad IMO.
@naruball My Pal version only came with Italian, German and French. I found out there's only Greek text in some of the other versions, but no audio. Would love to play it in Greek, considering I know Greek, along with setting the theme
I just found a Greek trailer on Youtube, so I'm guessing it's for Greece only? Not too impressed with the voice acting, so not too worried about it now. Still would have been cool if others around the world could access or download this audio.
@get2sammyb I think contextually it would make more sense to say 良かった which despite seeming like the past tense of good, is the natural response to receiving good news.
@hi_drnick Google Translate can't compute that.
@Octane they already did speak foreign in the demo. Not sure if it was really Mongolian
@NorrinRadd it will most def be out next year
@KirbyTheVampire it really wasn’t it’s fine to prefer the Japanese sub I’ll probably end up using it too but don’t make it out as if the English sub was some horrible voice acting because it wasn’t not even close
Definitely Japanese audio with English subtitles for me unless of cause if there's a lot of dialogue during gameplay then I think I might have go with English audio instead.
@dark_knightmare2
Do you mean the game or PS5 or both???
@NorrinRadd I mean the game will be out next year
@Mad Yup. Those same three Greek voice actors somehow do all the dubbing and it's terrible every single time. Don't know why they couldn't hire anyone else. But yes, the entire game has Greek dubbing in the Greek version.
duh lol
