Although Sucker Punch appears to have taken great care in nailing the game world's authenticity to real-life Japan, Ghost of Tsushima' s plot is, at least partially, purposely unfaith While the storm could end up impacting the Mongols at some point in the game, too, Jin will at least help it out significantly, fighting off the invading soldiers himself.

In the real invasion, the Mongols' path took them first to Tsushima Island, located between Korea and the Japanese mainland. Under the command of Kublai Khan, Genghis Khan's grandson, the Mongols fought against a small army of Japanese warriors on Tsushima , led by the Sō daimyo family.
