Combat itself has seen significant evolution.
Despite the recent PlayStation State of Play event highlighting an arsenal of weapons at the player's disposal, Nate Fox was happy to confirm there's more to come.
"There are more ways that you can attack and kill people," he laughed.
"I'm happy to report to you. We have not shown you them all, but the weapons are definitely the heart of it. We took the stances from Ghost of Tsushima, which we loved, and we said, okay, let's go farther. Instead of four, let's put in five," he said.
