Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn is in Development

After just a brief mention by basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal in January, a proper sequel to Shaq Fu is officially in development.

Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn is now raising funds on Indiegogo and is being developed by Big Deez Productions. At the time of writing, the project has raised just under $3,000 USD, with a final goal of $450,000. The team compares A Legend Reborn to Devil May Cry rather than a traditional fighting game.

In a campaign video starring Shaq, he explains the project is being handled by developers who worked on Halo, Street Fighter, Alan Wake, Spec Ops: The Line, and several other big games.

The game's page promises "This time we won't FU it up!"

The titular hero of the game will be Shazam! star and Icy Hot Back Patch spokesman Shaquille O'Neal, 1992's NBA first-round draft pick, who was known for his enormous size and strength on the court.

"[He] really wants to be a part of this and we love that he’s onboard. He's going to have a huge involvement in this and he is not about to let the same mistake happen twice," says Big Deez of the dominating basketball center who also released five rap albums in the 1990s.

"We are gamers, not executives. We know what’s good and we know what stinks. This isn’t about trying to make a quick buck, it’s about creating something that both we and Shaq can be proud of. We want to make a slick, fun, rock-solid game."

O'Neal has promised that 5% of all profits from the game will be donated to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Shaq has already donated one million USD to help fund technology centers in the clubs' facilities.

How hyped are you for this game? Let us know in the comments.
