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 RZAΓÇÖs 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 Deceiver 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.
