This powerful film takes the viewer on a journey through a city like no other, showing what can happen when play is taken to an unprecedented level. The film echoes the feeling of exhilaration that comes with PlayStation’s unparalleled gameplay experiences, as dozens of flamboyant characters, each playing the role of a chess piece, do battle in a city laid out like a chessboard.

In a world that is uniquely PlayStation, we follow the story of two rival Kings, locked in a battle of wits for control of the city. As each plays a move on the chess board, the move plays out in real life, on the streets and in the air of the city. Our hero is an unassuming Pawn who advances through the alleys and avenues of the metropolis, avoiding the numerous challenges posed by her rivals on the way. Eventually a judiciously timed Queen sacrifice allows our hero Pawn to reach the rival King’s penthouse and win the game for her team, sparking scenes of jubilation throughout the city.
