NTE Unopened Area Hints at Minato Mirai, Tokyo Government Building
The unopened area appears to be built around recognizable Japanese landmarks, a sign that the game's Japan-themed city design will continue into future updates.

Players of the free-to-play open-world RPG NTE are speculating about the unopened northeast corner of its Heterocity map. Flying a drone from the Appare Tower, the author spotted buildings resembling Yokohama's Minato Mirai, including a red brick warehouse, a Ferris wheel, and a hotel like the Grand Intercontinental, plus a bay area like Odaiba and a downtown with a Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building lookalike. The current map already carries Akihabara, Shibuya, and Dotonbori motifs.
Ver.1.3, which launched August 19, added the Hoshigure Protection Zone to the northwest of Heterocity. The opposite eastern side has also been changed, and the unopened area there is drawing speculation. From the Appare Tower observation deck in the Miguel District, a drone flight revealed a red brick warehouse, a Ferris wheel, and a sailboat-shaped hotel that closely match Yokohama's Minato Mirai. Farther out sit a bay district like Odaiba and a downtown with a building resembling the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. The amusement park area Pukaland has also visibly improved since the last check, ahead of a future update.
