Looks like it's gonna be the 3rd UK-inspired world. We have Windenburg and the town in Discover University that are UK-inspired.
You might think they are but we British know that Windenberg is nothing like any town in Britain, more like one on the European Continent somewhere. and the town in Discover University is only what an American thinks a university town is like here. It plays more like an American university.
I live in Britain and I'd disagree, imo a lot of parts of Windenburg represent Britain pretty well. Obviously it's based on Germany but the countries are very close and there is a lot of crossover. The main area doesn't really represent us at all but the rural neighborhood specifically I'd say is very similar to a game version of rural England, and the island and ruins areas are very reminiscent of what you'd find in Scotland. Plus there's also pubs and some British food options
I'd say Britechester is largely accurate as well, the city based campus does remind me of my own UK campus and a lot I've visited and the old one is a replica of Cambridge. The gameplay systems and dorms are pretty Americanised but the world is pretty accurate to Britain
I'd say the countryside in Windenburg could be any number of places. I wouldn't call it specifically British (or anywhere else), I would say it is pretty generic tbh. I don't know the Scottish Islands well enough to comment on that area. Overall I would say Windenburg has a Germanic vibe, from the name, the names of each area, the looks and names of the townies. None of those seem British at all to me. Behr, Bjergson, Windslar, Olde Platz, etc. - none of them seem British.
Britechester definitely does feel British to me , at least University of Britechester and Gibbs Hill do, could be based on a number of University towns. Foxbury much less so though. The game systems are less British, no ovens in dorms, the elective system, etc. - it is fun but doesn't feel so British. Also 'UBrite' as a name is very non-British, it should be 'UoB' in my (probably very bias) opinion.
Overall though Britechester feels like a British University city, and Henford-on-Bagley sounds like a small countryside village. Based in the same country yes, but very different places. As someone who has lived in both they are very different in atmosphere, the people who live there, the environment and such. I'm not worried about it being too similar.
I could be bias, though tbh anything non USA based is good in my opinion.
