the team went to Japan multiple times to soak in the scenery, the culture, and more, and it was there that the crew got the idea to shift the game’s section to the northern island of Yotei, where things would be vastly different in both topography and the people who lived there.

The site also reminded fans of a previous interview that Sucker Punch did, where one of the team members noted the new region would feature “sprawling grasslands, snowy tundras, and unexpected dangers.”

… What? Are they saying that Yotei will actually be all of Hokkaido?
