Wu-Tang Clan is officially back in the game — literally.
Twenty-five years after the cult classic Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style, the legendary rap group returns with Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver, a co-op action RPG unveiled during Summer Game Fest 2025 and the launch of their Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber farewell tour.
Developed by Brass Lion Entertainment, the game is the cornerstone of Ghostface Killah’s Angel of Dust multimedia universe and draws inspiration from a script co-created with The RZA. Players will wield mystical powers granted by Wu-Tang’s iconic members and fight to protect Shaolin from a mysterious evil force known as “The Deceiver.”
The trailer showcases stylized visuals, fast-paced combat, and a call to “find RZA, Cappadonna, Raekwon.” Gameplay includes character customization, loot-based progression, and team-based missions that blend martial arts and hip-hop mythology. True to the Clan’s ethos, Rise of the Deceiver is “by the culture, for the culture.”
But what truly sets this game apart is its soundtrack. Executive produced by Just Blaze, it features a reactive, dynamic music system that changes based on in-game action. Expect to hear classic hits like “Protect Ya Neck” reimagined in orchestral and remixed forms, alongside brand-new tracks infused with Wu-Tang samples.
“This is a love letter to hip-hop, built from the ground up,” says Brass Lion co-founder Bryna Dabby Smith, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and legacy. “Wu-Tang Clan are superheroes,” adds writer Evan Narcisse. “They deserve a world that honors their mythology.”
Whether you’re a long-time Wu-Tang fan or a gamer discovering them for the first time, Rise of the Deceiver promises an immersive, genre-bending experience that redefines what a hip-hop video game can be.
Wu-Tang: Rise Of The Deceiver will launch for PC and console, but no release date has been confirmed.
