Fortunately, producers have at last revealed the new park’s name, and it’s … yeah, pretty much what you thought.
We understood Westworld’s need for secrecy around its time-turning twist, but a samurai-themed park bearing the initials “SW” seemed … less worth the hassle.
Yes, “SW” indeed stands for “Shogun World,” and the Season 1 finale script even identified it as such (albeit with one word).
As EW notes, Shogun refers to “a term applied to military commanders in feudal Japan.”
