How many endings does Tsushima Ghost have?

▶

Ghost of Tsushima has two endings, which are determined by the player’s choice at the end of the game, where they must decide whether to spare or honor Lord Shimura, leading to different conclusions and potential implications for a sequel. The game’s canon ending is apparently the one where Jin spares Lord Shimura, edging further into his role as the Ghost, and this suggests that their relationship could potentially be challenged again in a sequel.
