Boggles my mind that they didnt announce this next to the PS5 Pro.

Mind you im not interested in picking up a PS5 or a Pro but I miiight check this out when it comes to PC in 2-3 years.

    Agreed all around. I think it's a great game. I love the direction here to go different era, location, and protagonist. We're in pre-settlement Ezo/Hokkaido, so in theory most people you're dealing with should be non-Japanese Ainu when they were easily powerful enough to maintain rough parity with the Japanese. Settler-colonialism here wouldn't kick off for more than 200 years. If SP delivers on this, it would be amazing.

      Agreed, it'd be really cool to see Ainu people centered at a time when they weren't under the boot of the Japanese state.

      Is it widely known that Japan colonized Ezo/Hokkaido and the kingdom of Ryukyu/Okinawa? And maybe a few other places prior to Imperial Japan's imperialist phase?

        I mean everyone understands that Japan's dominion over those territories is relatively recent. Anything more than that, I have no idea.

        I haven't watched the trailer so I dunno, but I think Atsu is an Ainu name, so I'm optimistic for that.
