Ghostwire: TokyoDirector Kenji Kimura explained that the enemies in the game are based on fears that people experience at different stages in their lives. Each of the 10 or soGhostwire: Tokyoenemy typeswill have variants that players will encounter as well, plus there will also be boss fights. “There are about four or five boss fights,” Kimura explained. Kimura didn’t provide specific details on what theGhostwire: Tokyoboss fights would be like beyond that they are “situated in a special way unique toGhostwire.”
Ghostwire: TokyoExecutive Producer Shinji Mikami then pointed out that the game will have non-enemies that players encounter as well. “There areJapanese Yokai charactersthat you don’t actually fight against, but you do go through the map to find and look at and collect. There are about 10 of those, too. It’s not just enemy characters,” Mikami explained.
Ghostwire: TokyoProducer Masato Kimura added that some of these non-enemy characters will even be helpful when it comes to players completing their goals in the game. Beyond that, players will even able to pet some of them. “They’re there to be cute,” Kimura said.
Between theGhostwire: Tokyoenemies that players encounter and the allies they meet, there should be plenty of interesting characters in the game. Some of theseGhostwire: Tokyocharacterswill have side missions for Akito to complete, whereas others may serve a more direct role in the main narrative. Fans will have to wait for theGhostwire: Tokyorelease dateto roll around next month to see how it all plays out.
