    What about having things to do in it? We’ve done the song and dance of “biggest ever” before and it’s rarely a positive thing.

      Not only large—huge, and stacked from top to bottom with stuff to do.

      Literally the second sentence in the article, if you’d bother to click on it.

        The problem isn’t that I “couldn’t be bothered.”. The problem is I don’t care to believe such claims until I’ve seen the finished product. Is that better now? Or shall we keep assuming things?

          Assume whatever you want. I’m just saying you asked a question that was immediately answered at the very top of the column. They say they scaled up the things to do with the size of the map. I’ve spent hundreds of hours on these games, and I don’t have a reason to doubt that they’d make a map this much larger without adding “things to do”.

            I dropped off quickly from the last couple because I didn’t find the things in the map to be all that engaging. Large maps tend to come with the Ubisoft formula of ‘content’ but rarely anything fun, in my experience.

    Considering it includes Hokkaido, does it mean they’re actually including the four major islands? I originally thought they might just focus only on kanto and kansai, so this is pretty cool if true.

      It’ll probably be similar to 5 where there will be different areas but probably as separate map DLCs, at least that would be my guess. Would love to be proven wrong though.

      They’d only need to add one more breakable advertising board than FH5 for the claim to be true
