After successfully raising $450,000 to release a Shaq Fu sequel, former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal and developer Big Deez Productions have been awfully quiet about the project. Fortunately, that’s all going to change tomorrow night at The Game Awards 2015.
According to the big man himself, Shaq will be making an appearance at the Los Angeles event with a Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn surprise in tow. The awards show often prides themselves on the amount of exclusive reveals they are able to pack into a few hours, but this is certainly the biggest one yet.
While more focused on single-player and cooperative action than competitive multiplayer, A Legend Reborn is set to feature a one-on-one mode that will form the basis of a backer-exclusive tournament with $25,000 on the line. It was also originally planned to launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, but it’s likely many of these details have changed in the year following the Indiegogo campaign.
Be sure to tune into The Game Awards tomorrow, December 3, at 6 PM PST, 9 PM EST to hear more.
