Ghost of Tsushima blev hurtigt et gigantisk hit, da det udkom sidste år. Ikke bare det, spillet bragte faktisk enorm global bevågenhed til den rigtige japanske ø, Tsushima. Sidenhen har spillere blandt andet doneret masser af penge til konserveringen og reparationen af forskellige afgørende landemærker på øen, der er blevet ødelagt af tropiske storme og oversvømmelser.
Ikke bare det, spillets to instruktører, Nate Fox og Jason Connell, er nu blevet gjort til permanente turistambassadører på øen. Dette siger borgmester Hiroki Hitakatsu til VGC:
"[Fox and Connell] spread the name and history of Tsushima to the whole world in such a wonderful way. Even a lot of Japanese people do not know the history of the Gen-ko period. When it comes to the world, the name and location of Tsushima is literally unknown, so I cannot thank them enough for telling our story with such phenomenal graphics and profound stories."
"The appointment of Tourism Ambassador is from today until Mr. Jason and Mr. Nate no longer wish to have it. In fact, I had been thinking and discussing about appointing the role to them ever since I discovered they were using Tsushima's name as the name of their work.
"I did not appoint them for the purpose of having them do anything in the future. Thanks to the two of them, Sucker Punch Productions, and SIE, I have heard from people all over the world who have learned about Tsushima through their works, and now want to see, know, and go to Tsushima."
Alt tyder desuden på at en efterfølger er under udvikling, men om denne foregår samme sted vides endnu ikke.
