Revealed at Summer Game Fest 2025, Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver is a cooperative action RPG developed by Brass Lion Entertainment. It’s set to launch on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, with console versions planned for later. The announcement coincided with the Wu-Tang Clan’s “Final Chamber” farewell tour kickoff. With a dynamic soundtrack overseen by Just Blaze, this game promises to blend hip-hop culture with anime-inspired action.
The announcement wasn’t a complete surprise, as there had been prior rumors about a game tied to the Wu-Tang Clan. As early as 2021, Jeff Grubb mentioned a project codenamed “Project Shaolin” in his leak, describing it as a hip-hop-inspired action game with dungeon crawler elements involving the Wu-Tang Clan, reportedly initially linked to Xbox Game Studios.
In Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver, you enter a surreal, afro-futuristic version of Shaolin, a dream world under siege by a corrupting force known as the Deceiver. Led by Ghostface Killah, up to three players team up to rescue Wu-Tang Clan members, using their mystical powers to battle enemy creatures across increasingly challenging levels.
The game emphasizes customization, letting you create unique combat styles and outfits with powerful abilities. Additionally, the soundtrack features reimagined Wu-Tang classics like “C.R.E.A.M.” alongside new tracks, dynamically shifting with the action.
