Brass Lion Entertainment has revealed Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver, a three-player cooperative action RPG in development for PC. The game will be available on Steam and the Epic Games Store, though a release date has yet to be confirmed.
At its core, this isn’t just a game; it’s a full-blown tribute to the legacy of the Wu-Tang Clan, reimagined as a bold, anime-inspired fantasy. In Rise of the Deceiver, you step into a world where the spirit of Shaolin is under siege. A dark force called the Deceiver is corrupting everything it touches, and the Wu are calling on a new generation to push back.
You won’t be fighting alone. Ghostface Killah is your guide, calling on you to rescue his Wu brothers and fight for the soul of Shaolin. You and your friends will take on surreal, dreamlike battle Chambers, each more twisted than the last, while tapping into the timeless power of the Clan.
Restore, customise, and fight back together
Gameplay is fast-paced, cooperative, and packed with progression. You’ll collect powerful Jewels that allow you to tweak your fighting style and unlock signature looks to stand out in battle. As you move through the Chambers, the difficulty ramps up, keeping you and your team on your toes at every turn.
One standout feature is the soundtrack. Overseen by producer Just Blaze, the game’s music blends classic Wu-Tang tracks with new original songs, giving each battle that unmistakable energy the group is known for.
The setting is just as unique as the soundtrack. The world blends afro-surrealism with anime visuals, creating an aesthetic that feels both fresh and familiar. And with a dedicated social hub based in Shaolin, there’s always a place to regroup, strategise, and show off your latest unlocks.
What to expect:
- Fully supported three-player co-op with shared progression.
- Increasingly intense battle Chambers filled with fantastical enemies.
- A customisable combat system with style options and collectible gear.
- A blend of anime and afro-surrealist visuals across a dreamlike world.
- An original soundtrack featuring classic Wu-Tang songs and new tracks.
Originally envisioned as a tie-in to Angel of Dust, an upcoming supernatural thriller produced by Ghostface Killah and directed by RZA under AOD Films, Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver has evolved into its distinct game project, one that bridges the worlds of hip-hop, mythology, and fantasy RPGs.
If you’re into co-op action games, love the Wu-Tang legacy, or want something that blends combat, culture, and creativity, keep an eye on this one. You can wishlist Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver now on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
