The highlight of Ghost of Tsushima update version 1.05 is the new “Lethal” difficulty level. Monday, the update will go live for PlayStation users and let players take on deadlier and more aggressive enemies in combat. To counteract this, Jin’s katana will do more damage.
If you’ve played through Ghost of Tsushima already, Suckerpunch would like to give an extra challenge for a second or third playthrough.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, a new “low intensity” mode will be added to give the option to have a more casual playthrough. Combat will be less intensive and stealth settings are more forgiving.
Update 1.05 will also give more options to subtitle texts, audio and more. Continue reading for the entire Ghost of Tsushima version 1.05 patch notes below.
GHOST OF TSUSHIMA VERSION 1.05 PATCH NOTES
New difficulty level: Lethal
– Enemy weapons are more deadly, but Jin’s katana is also more deadly– Enemies are more aggressive in combat– Enemies detect you faster– Tighter Parry and Dodge windows
Patch 1.05 will also include the following new options in the accessibility menu:
Lower Intensity Combat
Lower intensity mode is meant to maintain the heart and feel of Ghost of Tsushima combat while relaxing several timing-specific elements. Combat is less intense, giving you more time to react. Stealth settings are more forgiving, and enemies take longer to detect you.
Most enemy attacks which are normally unblockable become blockable when Lower Intensity is enabled. Blocking with L1 will keep you safe from more attacks than standard combat, though some attacks must still be dodged. Enemies break off their attack combos after damaging you, giving you a chance to recover before the next wave of attacks. In addition, your heavy attacks will interrupt attacks from Brutes, giving you another way to stop their combos. Enemies will not attack you while you’re using Resolve to healEnemy awareness builds more slowly, giving you more time to recover after being spotted

Patch 1.05 also includes additional bug fixes.
