A sequel to the hit game that has sold over 13 million copies worldwide has been released.
The setting is the area around Mt. Yotei during the Edo period.
Local residents are anticipating excitement, with collaboration products also being developed.
(Momose) "It's an electronics retailer in Sapporo. There's a special corner set up in the game section. This game is a hotly anticipated new game set in Hokkaido".
The video game "Ghost of Yotei", which will be released on October 2nd, was being heavily promoted.
Just over two hours after opening,
People were arriving one after another looking to buy the game.
(Customer) "I can see Mt. Yotei while driving, so I was curious to see what the scenery would look like in the game".
The game is set in the area around Mt. Yotei during the Edo period.
It's an action-adventure game about a protagonist who loses her family.
The previous game, set on Tsushima Island in Nagasaki Prefecture, was a hit, selling over 13 million copies worldwide, and this sequel had been attracting attention even before its release.
It's possible that in-store stock will run out by the 3rd.
(Yokoyama Yuki, game sales manager at Yodobashi Camera) "Among the PlayStation 5 titles released this year, it's competing for first and second place (at the Sapporo store) in sales".
(Abe) "This game is set on Mount Yotei. The quality is quite impressive, even compared to the real thing. To coincide with the game's release, surrounding towns and villages have begun selling collaboration items".
This is a workshop in Niseko Town.
The game's influence has spread to the surrounding municipalities where it is set, and here they produce magnets and pin badges featuring logos and other designs.
They use only local wood in the hopes of raising awareness of the town's natural beauty, and promoted its attractions at the Tokyo Game Show in September.
(Kato Jin, representative of Kumagera Production) "Niseko has a very negative image, with people saying it's a ski resort and has high prices, so I hope the game will spark a positive trend (in the local area)".
The seven towns and villages at the foot of Mount Yotei are also planning to launch a tourism campaign in collaboration with their local governments.
(Resident) "Mount Yotei is the centerpiece of tourism in Niseko".
(Resident) "I hope it will spark interest in Mount Yotei".
(Niseko Town Planning and Environment Division, Takahiro Anan) "I hope that people will discover the charms of Niseko and the towns and villages around Mount Yotei outside of winter, and that this will help spread the impact".
"Ghost of Yotei" is garnering attention from around the world.
With collaboration merchandise already appearing, locals are already excited about the event.
