Westworld season 2 episode 3 reveals new India park Raj World

The latest episode of Westworld began with yet another cold open this time placing viewers in a completely different location to where they’ve been before.

In fact, the brand new setting is swiftly revealed to be a new park entirely - the one teased by the appearance of a Bengal tiger in the mind-bending season two premiere.

This park is Raj World, Delos Destinations’ rather strange attempts to replicate the British rule of India - the identity of which fans guessed following a new trailer released weeks ago.

The opening introduces us to two British explorers - Grace (Katja Herbers) and Nicholas (Neil Jackson) who converse amid robot peacocks, elephants and faraway temples.

Travelling to the edge of the park, it soon becomes clear all is not as it seems with these characters swiftly learning the hosts are turning on them: the rebellion uprising, it turns out, isn’t specific to Westworld.

After Nicholas is killed by a host, Grace runs away - only to get targeted by that Bengal tiger destined to wash up in Westworld. It chases her to the edge of a cliff and - just after she fires her shotgun - pushes her off the edge, the two hurtling into the mysterious sea no one had a clue about weeks back.

Later on in the episode, we see her wash up on the shores of Westworld surrounded by the terrifying tribesman we see chasing Maeve (Thandie Newton), Hector (Rodrigo Santoro) and Lee (Simon Quarterman) earlier in the episode.

The final scene of the episode heralds the arrival of yet another new park.
