Ghost of Yotei - Matsumae castle

Couple years ago Sucker Punch was so kind to send a group of people on a reference gathering expedition to Hokkaido. Having a chance to visit the Matsumae castle in Hokkaido was so valuable. Just getting to understand the layout, scale and simply standing on the hills of the castle and imagining the daily life in Edo period.
We wanted to preserve the feel of the castle, but stylized it a bit for gameplay and overall silhouette.
