Just remembered I have a picture of Mount Yotei I snapped out the window of a train when I was in Hokkaido on a biking trip in 2016. I don’t know why I didn’t make the connection between it and Ghost of Yotei until now.

As I wrap up CES day 2 (for me), I’ve gotta say…I’ve seen some really freaking awesome stuff. But what really takes the cake for me is the Dungeons and Dragons pinball machine from Stern Pinball. It has a star-studded voice cast (including freaking Gerard Way and Matt Mercer!)
