Ready to level up on “Westworld”?

The Season 1 finale hinted at other theme parks attached to Westworld and the Season 2 trailer tantalized fans with brief glimpses at Shotgun World. Now, an update from the Delos corporate website reveals more about the Japanese-themed park with this description:

For those for whom Westworld is not enough, the true connoisseur of gore can indulge their fantasies with the slash of a katana. Modeled after Japan’s Edo period, Shogun World offers a chance for guests to embrace their inner warrior, in a landscape of highest beauty and darkest horror. Let your true self take shape in the land where self-discovery is an art form.

This indicates Westworld is a park for beginners and that Shogun World is for guests who want to level up to even more violence and “darkest horror.”

The HBO drama previously announced that Oscar nominee Rinko Kikuchi (“Babel”) is joining the cast in Season 2 as a geisha in Shogun World.

Not much else is known about the plot of the second season. Jeffrey Wright teased that his character, Bernard, will face some “cognitive challenges” and “health issues.” And co-creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy have hinted at the storylines of the Man in Black (Ed Harris) and his younger self, William (Jimmi Simpson), as well as missing programmer Elsie Hughes (Shannon Woodward) and security chief Ashley Stubbs (Luke Hemsworth).

“Westworld” Season 2 premieres April 22 on HBO.

It’s a big “Westworld” out there and we’ve only begun scratching the surface.

Season 1 of the sci-fi show ended on a major cliffhanger, with a violent end to the violent delights of Robert Ford’s (Anthony Hopkins) new narrative. He was shot and killed by Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood), the hosts amassed to take over the park, and Maeve (Thandie Newton) nearly escaped to the real world.

Several other characters whereabouts remained unknown, but co-creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy have teased their Season 2 futures to Entertainment Weekly.

Let’s start with programmer Elsie Hughes (Shannon Woodward) and security chief Ashley Stubbs (Luke Hemsworth). Elsie was attacked while exploring an abandoned part of the park. In later episodes, Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) seemed to have memories of strangling her. As for Stubbs, he was taken hostage by Ghost Nation hosts who were able to override his commands.

Both are still alive, the showrunners said, if in difficult situations. “They’re finally getting to experience Westworld as guests and not in the managerial halls, but I’m not sure they’re enjoying their experience,” Joy said.

As for other characters in very hot water, the Man in Black (Ed Harris) was facing a firing squad of angry hosts, but he will survive. “He gets a bit of damage done to him, that’s for sure,” Harris told EW.

And Jimmi Simpson will be back as the younger version of William, as the show explores the early days of the park and sheds light on how he gained so much influence with park owners Delos.

Speaking of Delos, executive director Charlotte Hale (Tessa Thompson) “causes trouble,” Joy said.

“She went from this controlled person playing this chess game with Ford. He takes out her king and queen in one fell swoop. Now she’s left at the mercy of the hosts like everyone else.”

“Westworld” Season 2 premieres April 22 on HBO.

These violent delights have violent ends — though hopefully not at South by Southwest.

HBO is building a version of the iconic park from sci-fi drama “Westworld” outside Austin, Texas during the upcoming SXSW Festival.

Fans will have a chance to “Live Without Limits” in the two-acre themed park that includes re-creations of locations from the show, including The Coronado hotel and the Mariposa Saloon. A teaser video promises, “No guidebook, no orientation, no regrets.”

Visitors will start the experience by getting picked up in a Delos shuttle in Austin and then getting assigned a black or white hat. That’s a nod to how park attendees in the show begin their journey in Westworld; for instance, William (Jimmi Simpson) picks a white hat, but as fans know, he eventually dons a black one when he gets older (and is played by Ed Harris).

The park will be filled with “hosts,” played by actors (who will NOT have sex with guests). There will also be Western-themed food, real horses, and embedded clues to the show’s many mysteries.

The experience will run March 9-11. Visitors must pre-register at DiscoverWestworld.com to get on the list.

“Westworld” Season 2 premieres April 22.

The park is about to reopen.

HBO will air a trailer for “Westworld” Season 2 during Sunday’s Super Bowl LII, according to Entertainment Weekly. The sci-fi Western drama is returning sometimes this spring, likely in April.

The trailer is directed by series co-creator Jonathan Nolan and will feature footage exclusive to it — meaning, stuff that won’t be on the show.

EW also shared an image from Season 2 of Jeffrey Wright as Bernard, looking very perturbed as an eerie figure looms behind him. It looks like the initial stage of an AI host’s body.

The “Westworld” Twitter account posted a video of a series of messages from inside the park, one from an unknown user asking for help and others from Delos executive director Charlotte Hale (Tessa Thompson) insisting all was well on the scene. Of course, all is not well, as viewers know; Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins) was shot by Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) after the Journey Into Night narrative’s unveiling.

The Twitter video slyly hinted at the show’s Super Bowl presence by mentioning “boots on the ground in Minneapolis.”

This is HBO’s first Super Bowl ad in two decades; it has only bought two spots before, in 1997 and 1998, to promote the network as a whole.
