Move over "original story by", "story composition" is the perfect kind of title for Urobuchi. The kind that supposedly tells you what the job entails but not actually, and nicely obfuscates how little involvement he likely has in the project beyond handing somebody an outline he doodled in between working with puppets.

Oh wow, and this make sense. The game although developed by a western game studio did a good job portraying Japan in a way that not a lot of western studio. Sucker Punch Studio did a hell of a good job with portraying Japan with Ghost of Tsushima. They went the extra mile to even include the Japanese dub for the North American/US version of the game (and one that I'm willing to play in Japanese dub over the English original, and I say this as someone who watches anime dubbed in English).

So I take it this anime will be a full-on adaptation or tie to the game, and it won't be an anime anthology a la Halo Legends or Star Wars: Vision. I wonder the voice cast for both English and Japanese from the game will reprise their roles for the anime.

To be honest, anything can happen with this. Why you keep saying Western for stuff like this? You mean American. You sure talk a lot on stuff like this. .

Did you played the game? Do you know who the developer were? Do you know what country made the game? Did you do any research on the game before you made this post?

If you don't know, then I questioned why would you write that. I take it you never watched The Animatrix, Batman: Gotham Knight, Halo Legends, or Star Wars: Vision prior to reading this post?

So is this going to cover the same material as the planned movie?

It seems that the live action movie will be somewhat more faithful to the game compared to this. (focusing on Jin's journey)
The anime in comparison carries the game's multiplayer mode subtitle: Legends.
