Westworld 'A New World' Ep. 5 - trailer

After a very intense and cerebral fourth episode, it looks like Westworld will be more in the action/adventure realm for episode 5, which looks to mostly be set in Shogunworld.

This will mark the first time we have seen the park, though its existence was hinted at back in season one.

Judging by the trailer, Maeve, Hector and the gang get caught up in a host narrative there, with Maeve even donning a kimono and picking up a katana.

The dialogue teased suggests that she will attempt to liberate the hosts in the Japan-set park, who do not seem to have gone rogue as they have in Rajworld.

The HBO teaser also gives a glimpse of Dolores' sub-plot which, like Maeve's, was given a rest in episode 4.

"To grow, we all need to suffer," she says menacingly.

Episode 4, 'The Riddle of the Sphynx', came with the revelation that Delos was running a secret experiment that attempted to implant real human's downloaded minds into hosts, with limited success.

Westworld airs weekly on HBO in the US and through Sky Atlantic and NOW TV in the UK.
