Reason
An open-world historical drama action adventure. The theme is the Mongol invasions of Japan.
In the latter half of the 13th century, large armies of the Mongol Empire led by Khotun Khan landed in Tsushima to use it as a foothold to invade Japan. The Tsushima warriors defending the island were crushed in the first battle against the large armies. A player controls Jin Sakai, a samurai who barely survived on a battlefield engulfed in flames and chaos, as a man of the underworld who has given up the honor of samurai, risen from the underworld, is willing to violate the samurai code at times, and fights fiercely to reclaim his homeland from the hands of his enemies by any necessary means.
An open-world that recreates the seasonal scenery typical of medieval Japan and even the flow of time. This game was created in the overwhelming quality: beautiful graphics, the epic story, the variety of actions, and the game music. The game received great praise from many users and received the Grand Award.
Work Introdution
Jin Sakai, who has abandoned the samurai code, becomes the "Ghost” coming back from the underworld, and frees Tsushima from the hands of the enemy. The whole world is watching this open-world historical drama action adventure in Japan.
In the Bunei era in the latter half of the 13th century, the Mongol Empire (the Great Yuan) was planning to conquer the Eastern world and overrun all countries that stood in its way. In the far east, A large Mongol fleet had been assembled to invade Japan, led by the ruthless and cunning general, Khotun Khan. He landed Tsushima to use it as a foothold to invade Japan.
Tsushima Samurai, who had gathered to prevent this invasion, were destroyed in the first battle by the military strategy of the Yuan army, which they had never seen before. The island was immediately engulfed in flames of invasion. But one samurai warrior barely survived:
Jin Sakai.
As the last survivor of the Sakai family, Jin is determined to protect the people of Tsushima, even if it means he has to violate the samurai code to get involved in fighting against the invasion. As the “Ghost” coming back from the underworld, he tries to reclaim his homeland from the hands of his enemies by any necessary means.
Comment of the game producer
It’s such an honor to be recognized by the Japan Game Awards.
We set out to create a game that could transport players to feudal Japan.
Our team went on an incredible journey that taught us a lot about the location and time period. We never could have done this without our passionate partners in Japan as well as our patient consultants. This guidance helped craft everything from narrative to gameplay to art.
We are thankful for this recognition and are filled with joy that our players in Japan have enjoyed the experience! Thank you.
