After several years in development, publisher Wired Productions has announced that Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn is slated for release on June 5, 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
The PS4 and Xbox one versions will both launch in digital and physical form for $19.99 and $29.99, respectively. Meanwhile, the physical version on Switch will be available for $39.99.
Though the Switch physical release is undoubtedly an eye opener, players who purchased NBA Playgrounds prior to June 10, 2017 will be treated to a free digital copy of the game upon release.
Moreover, those who initially backed Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn through Indiegogo will receive various rewards through future updates and announcements. Examples include a limited edition digital trading card, free future DLC, and even the opportunity to have lunch with Shaquille O’Neal himself (for a steep price, of course).
