After Westworld season 1 teased another, mysterious park which was filled with Samurai-themed hosts and sported a SW logo rather than a WW that we'd become accustomed to, many speculated that the park was simply named Samurai World.

A recent article by Entertainment Weekly reveals that the speculation wasn't that far off. As it turns out, the park is seemingly officially titled: ShogunWorld, as EW explains:

Most have thought that “SW” stood for “Samurai World,” but the far-less-common guess is actually correct: “Shogun World.” (To be precise, the Westworld Season One finale script called the land “SHOGUNWORLD,” one word, so quite possibly it’s more properly written as “ShogunWorld”).

To clarify, a Shogun is a term for military commanders in feudal Japan. We will most likely be seeing more of ShogunWorld in season 2 of Westworld when its first episode premieres on April 22nd, especially with HBO's social media campaign teasing a "Park 2" earlier this month.

This of course opens the door to a multitude of other themed-parks that could exist under Delos' banner; what type of park would you like to see in a future season?

I'm very happy to hear it is going by Shogunworld instead of the other choice, because that was the time of the Emperor's rule.

Westworld is a very overhyped, overrated and underwhelming series.....IMHO

"what type of park would you like to see in a future season?"

I'm just gonna yank that low-hanging fruit and say I'd like a 'ComicBookMovie.comWorld'.

We wouldn't have to take turns dunking on JoeMomma, we could each have one of our very own. And watch out for the Gusto host, he kayaks down the river tempting weary travelers with disgusting Bud Light™.
