This will be the fifteenth armor set to join the game alongside the likes of Jin’s Ghost armor and Hero of Tsushima armor. It’s not yet been revealed how many other armor sets, or individual armor pieces will be added to the Iki Island expansion, however we do know that the expansion will include even more animals for Jin to interact with.
