A new trailer for the upcoming Deadly Premonition sequel for Nintendo Switch, Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise, welcomes players to Le Carré, the Louisiana town in which the video game takes place. While it initially starts off like any sort of promotional video produced by a local tourism board, things quickly take a turn for the dark and sinister, which is pretty much the Deadly Premonition franchise’s whole premise.

Well, technically, the sequel supposedly takes place in Boston, but everything released so far seems to indicate that the vast majority of it will play out in Louisiana via some sort of storytelling device. Whether that’s flashbacks or something more unique remains to be seen. We don’t have long to wait, however, as the video game is set to release on July 10th.
