What classes are in Ghost of Tsushima: Legends?
There are four unique classes: Samurai, Hunter, Ronin, and Assassin. You can choose your first class after finishing the tutorial. The remaining classes will be unlocked as you progress further in the story mode. According to Sucker Punch in a PlayStation Blog post, "each class can unlock an alternate ability as you progress, as well as earning class-specific Charms and ranged weapons." There's no limit as to what classes can be featured in your party. You can have up to four of the same class or four different classes.
The Samurai class is a tank/DPS type character. They'll fight foes on the frontlines and act as the main killer. Their ultimate attack is Hachiman's Fury, which allows them to attack with a flurry of slashes in quick succession.
The Hunter class is a sniper. They defeat foes using a bow and arrow that's been tricked out with explosive arrows and other special arrows. Their ultimate attack is called the Eye of Uchitsune, which allows them to perform multiple headshots in quick succession. In practice, this likely works similarly to Dead Eye in the Red Dead franchise.
The Ronin class is the team healer. Using their ultimate, Breath of Izanami, Ronins can revive their entire team in a flash. Ronins also have access to a pettable Spirit Dog. It's unknown what this dog adds to combat, but they can be pet and that's enough.
The Assassin class is the second DPS. They can deal massive damage in quick bursts. Their ultimate is Shadow Strike, which allows them to teleport across the map in a single moment, dealing a powerful blow to their enemies.
Does Ghost of Tsushima: Legends have microtransactions?
It does not feature microtransactions.
How will Ghost of Tsushima: Legends connect to the base game?
Ghost of Tsushima: Legends' narrator, Gyozen the Storyteller will appear at various points in the base game's world after the update has been installed. It's unknown if progression in Ghost of Tsushima: Legends will unlock anything in the main game, but it wouldn't be unexpected
Ghost of Tsushima: Legends will launch on October 16.
