Ever since it was first announced at Paris Games Week in 2017, Ghost of Tsushima has been one of the more anticipated games in recent years. Now, it has an official release date. This PS4-exclusive samurai game will be available in various countries starting on June 26, 2020.

Set in the late 13th Century, the game puts you in the shoes (geta??) of Jin — a samurai who survived the wrath of the Mongols. Having his world shattered over their defeat, Jin is faced with a tough choice: to honor the tradition and customs of his samurai upbringing and maintain a fight he cannot win, or deviate from his samurai path to protect the island and its people by any means necessary.

In this open-world action adventure game, you’ll be tasked to take on the Mongols to reclaim Tsushima. But to do so as Jin, you’ll have to learn new skills and tactics. The gameplay looks promising and coupled with its stunning visuals, this might be in the running to be one of 2020’s best games.

Pricing for Ghost of Tsushima are as follows:

OPPO is positioning itself as more than a smartphone maker. The company kicked off this initiative when they introduced the OPPO AR Glasses in China and is now further strengthened by the introduction of more smart devices at their new Asia Pacific Hub located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

With the region accouting for 50 percent of the company’s global smartphone sales, it makes sense for its new central hub to be in the rising tech space of the region. This move is also part of OPPO’s “Think Globally, Act Locally” strategy — a move that many other companies have also been slowly adopting.

The company says its investing over US$ 7 billion to its research and development initiatives that involve 5G, 6G, AI, AR, and big data. A huge amount of resources will be poured into developing both software and hardware to go beyond the Internet of Things (IoT) and into “Intelligent Connectivity.”

Speaking of 5G, the company has already made it known that the OPPO Reno3 Pro will be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765. That’s Qualcomm’s latest chip that comes with 5G integration.

The company also promised that its next flagship will also feature the more powerful Snapdragon 865 which also has support for 5G. The company’s primary 5G partner is telecommunications company Maxis.

New devices launched

To further show their commitment to 5G, OPPO launched the OPPO 5G CPE T1. It’s a connection hub built for both the home and the office. Equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 modem, it is one of OPPO’s first devices that will help shore up its 5G efforts.

Also announced during the event is the OPPO Enco Free true wireless headphones. This, alongside the OPPO Enco Q1, means the company is broadening its product portfolio way beyond smartphones which is what they have been primarily known for in recent years.
