By Authorities anticipate game will enhance tourism
A regional Japanese news article has highlighted the significance of Ghost of Yotei to the Hokkaido area that inspired it.
The PS5 exclusive – which debuted last week – is “selling like hot cakes,” according to a Yodobashi employee in Sapporo, with expectations that it will become one of the leading-selling titles on Sony’s console this year in Japan.
In fact, its impact is so pronounced that some local merchants have been granted permission to produce original Ghost of Yotei merchandise, such as wooden keychains and coasters. Furthermore, the authorities are optimistic about utilizing the game to enhance tourism.
A comparable event took place on the island of Tsushima, where developer Sucker Punch received various honors from local officials for its influence on the region.
Last week, PlayStation declared a partnership with Klook to guide interested players on a tour around various landmarks depicted in the game. It’s certainly an opportunity we’d love to seize!
