A couple of years ago, we woke up on an October morning to hear a very surprising report that Xbox was working on some sort of game in partnership with Wu-Tang Clan. Yep, you heard that right, Wu-Tang Clan - and a fresh Insider Gaming report has brought the project back into the limelight.
Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming has corroborated that information from 2021, while also claiming that the game is now in Alpha stage in 2023. Just like those existing reports said, the title is apparently in the works at newly-formed developer Brass Lion Entertainment.
It's understood that this project "features a massive catalog of the Wu-Tang Clan’s music" and that in terms of gameplay, third-person melee combat is the general style here. It's also said to be co-op focused, possibly in a four-player setup.
As for the visual style, this is where things get interesting in relation to Xbox. Insider Gaming claims that it has seen footage that "shows an animation style somewhat similar to Into The Spider-Verse" and that "one front flip with a slam attack contained 7-8 frames of animation". Sound a bit like a Hi-Fi RUSH-esque rhythm action game, right?
Anyway, all of this is unconfirmed reporting as of now, but with The Game Awards right around the corner and Xbox hype building before the show - who knows, maybe we'll see it show up later tonight? We don't have to wait long to find out either way, as the show starts in just a few hours!
Does this sound like something you'd play? Tell us what you think of these reported details down below.

Hopefully will be good love Wu Tang cash rules everything around me cream get the money 🤑
Ill buy it when it drops. Wu Tang is for the children.
I wonder if in the game you have to protect ya neck
Never heard of this Wu Tang Clan. I clicked hoping it was some kind of kung-fu show or something. 😂
Dissapointed.
I hope it's not like Hi-Fi Rush. That game was good, but it wasn't good enough to want to play more of them. Also, I hope there is Not a focus on co-op because I play alone and don't particularly want to play with more people.
I remember a beat em up Wu Tang game for the ps1 (or was it ps2 🤔) and thought it was pretty decent - so will be cautiously optimistic for this one 🙂
All I can think is that this is gonna be the next Lord of the Rings: Gollum, The Walking Dead: Destinies, and Skull Island: Rise of Kong.
@ironcrow86 I was hoping someone else would remember that game! Wu-Tang Shaolin Style for ps1 was a gem. I got it for Xmas 1999! I used to play as method man and if I remember correctly you could play the disk on a stereo. Man 24 years ago.. felt like it was yesterday haha
Not a huge Hip Hop fan but I do like quite a few games with Hip Hop heavy soundtracks so I'm interested.
@Deano_YTFC damn, was it that long ago 🙄 I can't remember which character was my favourite, but I do remember you had collect all those disks before fighting the big baddy 🙂
Day one if true, should be a great game for the children!
Take it with a grain of salt but Jez corden let slip that it is no longer 2nd party on his podcast. It will still come to xbox though.
The co op focus makes me think it aint nothing to eff with but I will keep an open mind until I see more of it.
Xbox will drop the ball if it’s like hi rush … don’t remake another game Xbox needs a third person franchise not guitar hero everywhere
@NarutosBiggestFan same , im NOT a fan of multiplayer games. I understand many are and that's why they make them. But I'm not. I can for sure get down with some multiplayer FPS, and some 1 on 1 fighters. But not something with character lore stories. Look at what they are doing with suicide squad??!? Terrible! Could have just made it single player like the Arkham games and would have been fire.
Still in a huge wu-tang fan and will play the game regardless. Just wishing it's more single player focused.
@ironcrow86 really there was a wu-tang game before??!?!
