Shaq Fu : A legend Reborn, the crowdfunded sequel to 1994 fighting game featuring former NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal has been quiet for some time. Not anymore, as Amazon UK has unveiled some new details on the game that is being made for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, as well as Nintendo Switch.
A brand new trailer has been released too.
“The world is on the brink of disaster. Demonic celebrities have taken over the planet. Only one man can save us: a poor Chinese orphan named Shaq Fei Hung.
In Shaq Fu, players take control of the unstoppable Shaquille O’Neal as he fights his way through the hordes of Hell and Hollywood. Defeat dozens of enemies, as Shaq learns new moves, travels to unique locations and battles the legions of the damned. At the end of each journey, Shaq must face down a powerful boss ripped straight from tabloid headlines and bent on our destruction.
Will he triumph? Of course, he will… It’s Shaq.”

The crowdfunding campaign has gathered $458,884 USD on top of its $450,000 goal and has been in development since 2014. It will be interesting to see how this sequel turns up since the first game is now regarded as one of the worst games ever made.
