Japanese Devs Think It May Be Impossible for Them to Make a Game Like NTE on PS5

"There's simply not enough time".With its anime character designs and references to real-life locations like Akihabara, newly released PS5 gacha phenomenon NTE is as Japanese as a game can be.

Forza Horizon 6's Soundtrack Leans into Japan with BABYMETAL, YOASOBI
