This global Sony PlayStation 5 spot opens on our hero as she crosses an icy landscape. She is able to sense something under the surface as she places her on hand on the ice. A kraken appears through the ice, trying to swipe at her with its huge tentacles. She escapes effortlessly.
Next we see our hero in a rainforest encampment. She hears something in the distance; moths hitting a light in a tent, a radio in a faraway rainforest hut. Suddenly she hears the chamber of a heavy artillery weapon as a shell is fired, she manages to dodge as it passes her. She is somehow able to hear it before she sees it.
We then see her make her way into a dark cave. She’s approaching a futuristic portal. She draws back her bow and aims. Finding the perfect tension point on her fingertips, her arrow travels through the portal with precision. She’s opened up another chamber of the cave where an enormous rock creature awaits–she takes aim again, she’s ready.
