Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn Launches this Spring

Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn will launch both physically and digitally worldwide for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC this spring, publisher Wired Productions and developers Saber Interactive and Big Deez Productions announced.

Here is a brief overview of the game, via Wired Productions:

Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn is an intense, action-packed beat ‘em up which sees players take on the role of the unstoppable Shaquille O’Neal as he fights his way through the hordes of hell and Hollywood. Master devastating combos, battle outlandish celebrity bosses and take on all comers with an array of weapons, including katanas, shuriken and baseball bats. Channel Shaq’s alter egos, Big Daddy O and Big Diesel, in epic battles in the successor to the worst game ever on a mission to restore Shaq’s legacy.

Key Features:

Voiced by none other than Shaq Fu himself, Shaquille O’Neal.
Travel to locations around the world and use each unique environment contextually against your enemies.
Every enemy is unique and possesses his own destructive abilities. Battle outlandish bosses with special skills, power-ups and some old-fashioned martial arts.

Saber Interactive also reconfirmed today that those who purchased NBA Playgrounds on Switch prior to June 10, 2017, will receive a free copy of Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn upon release. Also, more information about timing and delivery of rewards for the game’s Indiegogo backers will be shared on the official campaign page.

Check out the Trailer:

The 1994 fighting game Shaq Fu is regarded by many as one of the worst video games ever made. It capitalized on the massive popularity of basketball player Shaquille O’Neal, and were we not in the darkest timeline, we would have collectively wiped it from our memory. But that didn’t happen — in fact, a successor, Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn, is releasing this spring, and its creators are well aware of its less-than-lofty expectations.
