A trailer featuring the track arrived on Thursday (May 7), and features Snoop alongside Tori Kelly and Japanese artists Satoshi Fujihara and Ado.

“Don’t read between the lines/ Close your eyes and observe,” Snoop raps in the midst of the bloody trailer.

Tori Kelly (Suzy Day), Satoshi Fujihara and Ado all have characters in the game, as well as Snoop’s son Cordell Broadus.

Snoop Dogg voices a character named Orpheus, who, of course, is smoking something and working on a ship that brings the main characters (Yu Shinjo and Makoto Daito) to Japan, as they gain a new lease on life and a dose of hope to live out their dreams.

“That right there, that’s the Japan you been dreaming about,” Snoop’s character says.

Stranger Than Heaven boasts a detailed story mode that takes place from 1915 through 1965 in Japanese cities such as Osaka, Tokyo and Hiroshima, while Makoto Daito (played by Yu Shirota) will do whatever it takes to thrive and survive.

A bio for the action-packed video game bills it as a “50-year, action-adventure saga of men with nowhere to go and their desperate struggle to find a home. Use extreme violence to survive, and musical talent to thrive as a showman across five cities and eras of modern Japan.”

It’s not Snoop’s first foray into the video game world. He lent his name and likeness to the 2004 game Fear & Respect , which ended up being canceled before making its way to production. The West Coast legend was also a playable character in Def Jam: Fight for NY .

Look for Stranger Than Heaven to arrive this winter on various gaming systems.
