Ghost of Tsushima has dropped its first major post-launch update, and it adds some new options for players on both sides of the skill spectrum. On the one hand, we have the new Lethal difficulty, which makes enemies more aggressive, but also increases the deadliness of Jin’s katana, and on the other hand, we have Lower Intensity Combat Mode, which relaxes the timing required during combat and stealth.

　　Here are the full patch notes for Ghost of Tsushima update 1.05:

　　New difficulty level: Lethal

　　Enemy weapons are more deadly, but Jin’s katana is also more deadlyEnemies are more aggressive in combatEnemies detect you fasterTighter Parry and Dodge windowsLower Intensity Combat

　　Lower intensity mode is meant to maintain the heart and feel of Ghost of Tsushima combat while relaxing several timing-specific elements. Combat is less intense, giving you more time to react. Stealth settings are more forgiving, and enemies take longer to detect you.

　　Most enemy attacks which are normally unblockable become blockable when Lower Intensity is enabled. Blocking with L1 will keep you safe from more attacks than standard combat, though some attacks must still be dodged.Enemies break off their attack combos after damaging you, giving you a chance to recover before the next wave of attacks. In addition, your heavy attacks will interrupt attacks from Brutes, giving you another way to stop their combos.Enemies will not attack you while you’re using Resolve to healEnemy awareness builds more slowly, giving you more time to recover after being spottedText changes

　　Large Text option: Increases text size of subtitles, mission objectives and interact prompts by 150% when enabledAdded option to turn speaker name off when subtitles are enabledNew subtitle text color options in addition to white: Yellow, Blue, Red, GreenPatch 1.05 also includes additional bug fixes.
