Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn Is a Nostalgic Blast From the Past
It’s been a long time coming but in a new trailer released today, Saber Interactive and Wired Productions have revealed a June 5th, 2018 release date for Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn. Launching for Playstation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, this new Shaq Fu title mines the past for an updated, fun romp starring the big man Shaquille O’ Neal himself.
Channeling the over the top spirit of the original 1994 Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo classic, Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn is an action-packed beat ‘em up in which players control the legendary Shaq against the evil hordes of both Hollywood and hell on a quest to avenge his destroyed home and fallen martial arts master. In A Legend Reborn, players will be able to beat down foes with bone-crushing combos, go toe to toe with ridiculous celebrity bosses, and unleash their fury with a slew of hard-hitting weapons and power-ups.
This trailer comes at a great time as Saber Interactive previously announced that anyone who purchased NBA Playgrounds on Nintendo Switch prior to June 10, 2017 would receive a free copy of Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn on Switch upon release, a release date that is now verified. Going forward, Saber will be sharing more information in the future regarding timing and delivery of rewards for Indiegogo backers of Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn directly via the game’s Indiegogo page.
Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn will be available on June 5th, 2017 for digital download on the Playstation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC for $19.99. It will also be bundled as a boxed product with to be announced DLC at major retailers for $29.99 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and $39.99 for the Nintendo Switch.
