The trailer for the game, released Thursday, May 7, features the new track and footage of Snoop performing with the other artists.

“Don’t read between the lines/ Close your eyes and observe,”

Tori Kelly is credited in the game as Suzy Day. Satoshi Fujihara and Ado also have characters in the title. Snoop’s son Cordell Broadus appears as a character as well.

Snoop provides the voice for a character named Orpheus. The character is shown smoking and working on a ship that brings the game’s protagonists, Yu Shinjo and Makoto Daito, to Japan. In the trailer Orpheus says, “That right there, that’s the Japan you been dreaming about.”

Stranger Than Heaven’s story mode is set across five decades, from 1915 through 1965, and spans Japanese cities including Osaka, Tokyo and Hiroshima. The game’s publicity lists Makoto Daito, played by Yu Shirota, as a figure who “will do whatever it takes to thrive and survive.”

The game’s official description 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.”

This is not Snoop’s first involvement with video games. He lent his name to the canceled 2004 project Fear & Respect, and has appeared as a playable character in Def Jam: Fight for NY.

Stranger Than Heaven is scheduled to arrive this winter on various gaming systems.
