Making the game is so good, the developer was invited to be the ambassador of Tsushima island, Japan

Ghost of Tsushima has been very successful.

Ghost of Tsushima director Nate Fox and Creative Director Jason Connell will be named as Japan’s real-life Tsushima Island tourism ambassador.

As VGC reports, the game’s senior developers will receive awards and thank you letters during a digital event.

“Fox and Connell spread the name and history of Tsushima to the world in a wonderful way”Tsushima Mayor Hiroki Hitakatsu explained.

“A lot of Japanese don’t even know the history of the Gen-ko period. To much of the world, Tsushima’s name and location are still unknown to many people, so I cannot thank them enough for telling our story with top notch graphics and a deep plot.”

Connell expressed his gratitude for the award on his personal Twitter page: “I’ve had a really lucky career but this is really unbelievable. Thank you, Tsushima.”

The island city of Tsushima will also partner with Sony Interactive Entertainment to create a new tourism campaign based on the game. The new campaign will be used to encourage fans of the game not only to visit the island, but to learn more about the history and landmarks.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the game have a positive impact on Tsushima’s local community. At the end of the year outside the game fans helped fund the restoration of the damaged Torii Gate on the island by donating to a fundraising campaign organized by Yuichi Hariyama, a priest of Watatsumi Shrine.

Elsewhere, in recent days there have been rumors that Ghost of Tsushima along with many Playstation exclusive titles (such as God of War 2018, Uncharted Collection and Bloodborne) will be coming to PC soon. This is a well-founded rumor because Jim Ryan, the CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment himself, has confirmed there will be many PS to PC games. If this is true, PC gamers will soon be able to experience the most popular game of 2020.
