LISA’s penthouse is on floor 5, and in PlayStation’s new spot she picks a different quest on the way up. In the 50-second clip, Billboard reports, the BLACKPINK star steps into a lift, grabs a limited-edition DualSense wireless controller and wanders into the game worlds in the building: Marvel’s Wolverine, Kena: Scars of Kosmora, God of War: Laufey and Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls. Watch it below.

The soundtrack is an extended preview of “Tarantino,” the second single from her EP Press Play. She announced it on Oct. 14 as a tribute to the director, Billboard said then, describing a swaggering track over pounding percussion whose hook pitches the song as a movie and tells you to press play. The title is the only Tarantino in the clip: Billboard doesn’t report any involvement from the filmmaker himself.

The spot extends a partnership that began with PlayStation’s global PS5 campaign last year. When the controller was announced in September, LISA said of the collaboration:

Gaming is something I do whenever I have time to relax

The DualSense she helped design puts her bangs and eyes on the touchpad, with her signature stars and bold “LL” lettering on a Chroma Pearl finish, PlayStation says. It arrives Oct. 30 in limited quantities.

The EP comes first, on Friday (Oct. 23). Its lead single, “SaWaDiKa,” debuted at No. 69 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 23 on the Global 200 in September, Billboard notes. After the documentary Always Lalisa reached cinemas on Oct. 12, she opens her Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Nov. 12, and our explainer has the full calendar.
