Wu-Tang Clan's new game blends anime with Afro-surrealism
Wu-Tang Clan has a new game. At Summer Game Fest 2025, Brass Lion Entertainment has introduced its debut game, Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver . In it, you'll have to fight alongside the group's members to defeat the invading forces of the Deceiver and to save your home of Shaolin. The game is an action RPG with "anime-style fighting and afro-surrealist aesthetic." While you can play the game alone, you can also team up with up to two more friends online, and all of you can customize your fighting styles and your fashion. According to The Washington Post , the group looked for a studio that can develop a game that can tie in with Ghostface Killah and RZA's upcoming film, the supernatural thriller Angel of Dust . That's when the members found out that Brass Lion's director of music and culture was American record producer Just Blaze. Bryna Dabby Smith, Brass Lion's co-founder and CEO, said Wu-Tang loved the concepts their company presented for the game. "The script is in the horror genre, but it really worked from an interactive perspective," the executive told The Post . Brass Lion was co-founded by Manveer Heir ( Wolfenstein and Mass Effect 3 ), Rashad Redic ( Fallout 3 , The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim ) and Smith ( The Bourne Conspiracy , Sleeping Dogs ). Heir previously said that the studio will focus on telling authentic underrepresented stories not just relating to race, but also to age, religion and sexuality. Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceive r will feature classic Wu-Tang tunes alongside new material, as overseen by Just Blaze. It doesn't have a release date yet, but you can watch a teaser below and look at some screenshots on its official Steam page. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings.

Wu-Tang Clan: Rise of the Deciever Debuts at Summer Game Fest 2025
In what might have been the most shocking announcement during Summer Game Fest 2025, players are asked to save the iconic rappers in Wu-Tang Clan: Rise of the Deciever. During the announcement trailer, players were called upon by Ghostface Killah to save his brothers—the members of the Wu-Tang Clan who have apparently been kidnapped by the titular Deciever. While not much gameplay was shown, Wu-Tang Clan: Rise of the Deciever looks to be a fast-paced action game heavily inspired by Hip Hop and anime. The game supposedly features Afro-surrealist meets anime-inspired worlds of Shaolin and the Medium, increasingly difficult battle Chambers with fantastical enemies, customization to show off your drip and tailor your fighting style, fully supported three-player co-op with a social hub, and the ability to fight with the powers of the Wu-Tang Clan. Wu-Tang Clan: Rise of the Deciever will also feature a dynamic gameplay soundtrack, including classic Wu-Tang songs and new material, overseen by legendary producer Just Blaze. According to a press release, Wu-Tang Clan: Rise of the Deciever began life as a tie-in to the movie Angel of Dust being which is being worked on by Ghostface Killah and RZA.'Creating Angel of Dust has been an incredible journey,' said Ghostface Killah in a statement. 'Bringing the story to life through film was just the beginning. Now, with the development of the video game, we are immersing fans even deeper into this supernatural thriller universe. Ghostface Killah added, 'It's about blending music, storytelling, and interactive experience. I can't wait for fans to step into the darkness and discover what lies beneath.' No release date was set for Wu-Tang Clan: Rise of the Deciever.
