Back in June, someone over on Reddit discovered that MarkMonitor Inc., the company which handles all of Westworld's interactive websites, had registered a new domain name: discoverwarworld.com (don't bother looking it up, there's nothing there yet). The prevailing theory amongst the Westworld fanbase was that the show would soon introduce a World War II World, perhaps one where visitors could hunt and kill Nazis.
Given the show's history, this didn't seem outside the realm of possibility, but it wasn't until today, at SDCC 2019, that the rumor was confirmed via a new trailer: Westworld S3 will, in fact, spend some time in War World.

Look, I'll admit to only casually watching the trailer above for the purposes of this post, as I've yet to finish Westworld S2 and would prefer not to be spoiled any further than I already have been, but what I did see looks great. But then, this show has always looked great.
What do y'all make of this? Into the idea of a War World? Dig the trailer? Have you finished Westworld S2? Sound off in the comments below, and stay tuned for more on this one as we draw ever closer to Westworld S3's 2020 premiere.
