\u25a0\u6982\u8981 Summary
Videogames increasingly shape how players encounter real-world places. Across China, Japan, and beyond, players now travel to landscapes, temples, and cities they first experienced through digital environments. This talk examines these journeys as \u201cplayer pilgrimages\u201d \u2013 a form of games tourism emerging from the spatial and affective qualities of interactive media. I draw on two case studies \u2013 Black Myth: Wukong and Ghost of Y\u014dtei \u2013 to explore how players arrive at heritage sites already familiar with them through hours of gameplay. These encounters reveal layered relationships between digital and physical space: players recalibrate expectations, sites are reshaped by tourism flows, and real-world encounters often exceed what games simulate. By bringing atmospheric theory into dialogue with game studies, the talk asks how interactive media reshape tourism, heritage, and the experience of place \u2013 and what these emerging \u201cplayer pilgrimages\u201d reveal about the cultural power of videogames today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
