"Soul of Sheep Hoof Mountain" will be available on PS5 on October 2. Since the background setting of the game is similar to "Assassin's Creed", some people are worried that this game will encounter similar controversy when recreating Japanese culture.In response, game director Nate Fox said that they conducted many field trips to learn from materials and strive to faithfully restore Japanese culture.

Recently, Nate Fox shared the Japanese field trip experience of the development team of "Soul of Sheep Hoof Mountain".He admitted: "We are well aware of our cognitive limitations of Japanese culture."As Americans, they initially learned about Japan through samurai movies, but after the on-site visit, the communication between the air, forest and local people in Japan all inspired their creative enthusiasm.

Nate Fox said: "The most important thing is that these journeys are humble. I still remember the moments when I stood on Tsushima Beach, which was an ancient battlefield where 80 warriors fought against all Mongolian troops. Although Tsushima Souls is a fictional story and Tsushima is not an accurate restoration, we always respect real history. Through in-depth research and adoption of cultural consultants, we hope to show the uniqueness of Tsushima with respect, and Souls of Sheep Hoof Mountain will continue this spirit."

Nate Fox also explained that it chose Hokkaido as the new work stage because of its beautiful scenery. After the field visit, it confirmed that this was the right choice.The exchanges between locals also brought new inspiration.

"This land talks to us, and we strive to capture its charm in the fictional islands. But as Americans, we clearly recognize that our limited understanding of Japanese culture, so we visited a large number of cultural experts and many important cultural sites," he said.
