Limited-edition consoles based on popular games are a tradition that goes back to the early days of video gaming, but have become more prevalent with modern-day consoles like the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Special console design concepts for games like Halo Infinite from fans have become popular online as well, with one of the most popular designers, XboxPope, now trying their hand at messing with Sony's PlayStation 5 through a concept based on Sucker Punch Production's Ghost of Tsushima.

The upcoming open-world action-adventure game, following a samurai warrior named Jin Sakai in 13th century Japan fighting for the freedom of his homeland, is set to be one of the last console exclusives for the PlayStation 4. It officially went gold earlier this week, meaning the game has reached its finished build, with plans to release on July 17.

This black-and-red console covered in Japanese kanji is the first (of hopefully many) PlayStation 5 designs released by XboxPope, who has primarily been working on concepts for Xbox Series X designs based on games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla. The British artist said in their tweet advertising the design that they think Ghost of Tsushima looks "amazing," and wishes Sucker Punch luck in pushing it out for a successful release.

The PlayStation 5's design was only just revealed by Sony during its "Future of Gaming" livestream earlier this month, which also introduced the world to a number of games that will likely be great subjects for special-edition designs going forward, including Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Horizon: Forever West. XboxPope's design is specific to the main PS5 model, but with there also being a digital-only version this begs the question of how Sony will handle special consoles going forward.

While Ghost of Tsushima is a samurai game with mystical elements, the developers have said that Rockstar Games' Red Dead Redemption is its main inspiration in terms of gameplay. The idea of mixing this era of history and gameplay style has left many excited for the game leading up to its launch, which is now only a few weeks away.

Clearly XboxPope is one such fan excited for the release of Ghost of Tsushima, and their tribute in the form of a console design is as spectacular as ever. With the PS5 still fresh and new, it will be interesting to see what titles they use to decorate the console going forward.

Ghost of Tsushima is planned to release on July 17 for PlayStation 4.
