"Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut" rated by ESRB for PS4/PS5.
I understand having a movie have a Director's Cut due to the way those are meddled with for studios to get more showings. But WTF kinda trend are we about to get with gaming. Kojima apparently runs his own studio but somehow Death Stranding is getting a Directors Cut. It's a little stupid imo.
I understand releasing DLC and so on, but calling it a "Directors Cut" implies they're changing the narrative structurally from the first release to add more in. I'd understand like Horizon had Frozen Wilds and you could complete it at your own pace, but they never called it a Director's Cut.

You forgot borderlands last dlc which was content they originally planned for the game but never got around to finishing it up.

I honestly haven't caught up with that game but did they give it as a paid for DLC? Knowing Gearbox, the asshats probably did with Sir Scumford running the ship.

Yeah it was paid or came free with the season pass 2, they also added the only raid boss in the game as part of the dlc to make people buy it.
We will know for sure when this and Death Stranding get released, but at this point I think 'Director's Cut' is just a new branding for complete editions

But Death Stranding had no DLC. So how much more "complete" can this edition be? There has to be additional content not seen in the first game. Otherwise "Directors Cut" makes no sense at all. It just becomes an arbitrary title.

I'm sure there will be new content for Death Stranding
What I mean is, the title 'Director's Cut' doesn't necessary mean it will be a different cut from the original like the case with movies, it could mean that it's the Director's Cut because it includes all of the content that the director intended to have in the main game
I would love if Death Stranding got a 'traditional' director's cut, that changes some parts of the game

Another reason Kojima might be calling it a Director's Cut is because I think he is such a huge fan of movies and I think he likes to see himself as a film maker of sorts. Calling it a Directors Cut may just simply be a call back to his love of movies. I don't know. Just spit-balling here.

What a year it’s been! As we approach the one-year anniversary of Ghost of Tsushima, we are so grateful for the outpouring of love you’ve sent us since launch. It means so much to see how Jin’s story has resonated with all of you, and we feel incredibly lucky to have such dedicated and supportive fans.
We’ve thought a lot about how to expand Jin’s story, and we’ve also spent the last year poring over all of your feedback about how we could improve the experience of playing Ghost of Tsushima. We’ve been hard at work on a brand new edition of the game, which not only includes a new chapter in Jin’s journey, but also some new updates that are a direct response to some of the community’s most-requested features.
We’re happy to announce that on August 20, we’ll be releasing Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on both PS5 and PS4 consoles. This new edition comes packed not only with the original game and every piece of additional content we’ve released to date, but a brand-new adventure for Jin alongside a bunch of new features that we’re excited to reveal.

Iki Island
If you’re a history buff, you may know that in addition to Tsushima, the neighboring island of Iki was also invaded during this time period. Today we’re excited to reveal that a whole new chapter in Jin’s journey is coming and will take place on Iki. In this new story, Jin travels to the island to investigate rumors of a Mongol presence. But soon, he finds himself caught up in events with deeply personal stakes that will force him to relive some traumatic moments from his past.
We’ll have more to share about the story of Iki soon, but today we can confirm that beyond a whole new story and new characters, this new island also features tons of new content including brand new environments to explore, new armor for Jin as well as his horse, new mini-games, new techniques, new enemy types, and much more. There are even new animals to pet!
On both platforms, Director’s Cut will also offer new Trophies to unlock for the new Iki content.

PS5 exclusive features
While Director’s Cut players on both PS4 and PS5 will be able to experience the Iki Island content, PlayStation 5 players will have access to a few additional new features.
We’ve heard your feedback about the lack of Japanese lip sync in the original version of Ghost of Tsushima, and it’s something we worked hard to address in this new release. Thanks to the PS5’s ability to render cinematics in real time, cutscenes in Ghost of Tsushima and on Iki Island on PS5 will now offer lip sync for Japanese voice over.
We’re also happy to confirm that Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, and the new Iki Island expansion will all take advantage of haptic feedback and adaptive triggers in the Director’s Cut. There will also be enhancements to 3D audio* on PS5, as well as drastically improved load times, 4K resolution options** and framerates targeting 60 FPS.
Transferring your progress
If you already own Ghost of Tsushima on PS4, you’ll be able to transfer your save to PS5 to pick up where you left off. For new players, the new Iki Island content will be available beginning in Act 2 of Ghost of Tsushima, after you’ve made your way to the Toyotama region.

Other updates
Alongside the Director’s Cut, 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.
All players will receive a patch with some new photo mode updates, new accessibility options for controller remapping, as well as the option to enable a target lock-on during combat. And for the person who tweets at us all the time asking for an option to hide your quiver during gameplay: yes, we’ll be adding that, too!
Finally, for Ghost of Tsushima: Legends fans, we’ll also be releasing some new updates, including an all-new mode that we’re excited to detail in the weeks to come. All Ghost of Tsushima: Legends*** updates will be available at no additional charge to owners of any version of Ghost of Tsushima on either platform.

Sooner than expected, but that’s good. I’ll wait for Black Friday hoping for a sale since I already beat and sold the PS4 version and don’t want to drop the full $70 to rebuy it.
Sounds like visually it will be the same except maybe a bit higher resolution.

After Returnal's $50 drop recently, I too will wait before I re-buy it. Already own the PS4 Steelbook. BF seems like a good time to pick it up.
