While it's taken a little while to finally emerge from development, Saber Interactive and Wired Productions have officially confirmed that Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn will arrive on Nintendo Switch on 5th June, just in time for the summer.
Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn is an action-packed beat-'em-up starring the one and only Big Diesel himself: Shaquille O’Neal. You'll take on hordes of Hell (and Hollywood, naturally) on a giant one-man fights to avenge his fallen home and his poor old martial arts master. You'll be able to beat down foes with devastating combos, face off against outlandish celebrity bosses, and unleash your fury with a variety of hard-hitting weapons and power-ups. Still, it can't be any worse than the original...
Oh, and if you were an early adopter of NBA Playgrounds, you might remember you were promised a free copy of Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn following the issues surrounding its enhanced edition on the Switch eShop. And if you backed the game way back when on Indiegogo, you should find news on the game's crowdfunding page on how to redeem your copy.
Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn will hit the Switch eShop on 5th June with a price of $19.99, with a physical edition (with as yet unannounced DLC included) set for release at a later date for £34.99/$39.99.
Will you be picking up Shaq's new (and, hopefully, much better) new game? Or will you be giving this one a hard pass? Let us know below...

Finally going to get some juicy Shaq meat.
@DockEllisD: Amen! I'm sure Saber will come through though.
Looks like a lot of fun. Love Shaq.
For the sweet sweet price of free, I'm in!
That's actually pretty pricey. Makes my free copy feel somewhat more valuable, even though price means essentially nothing when it comes to the quality of the game. Not particularly excited for this but I'll be sure to download it and give it a shot because why not.
Can't wait for my free copy!
free? cant say no to that
Even though it’s free, I’m still not sure if this is even worth the memory space on my switch.
@CptProtonX 😳.. 🤨.. lmao!!
Shaq looks like Tingle.
dang now I wish I would have gotten playgrounds early on
That basketball uniform is weird.
I'll probably be picking this up
While I'm not saying will be amazing, I think it will be a pleasant surprise and an incredible value for those of us getting it for free.
Cool
haha this is funny.
i'll take a free copy no doubt. heck, game doesn't look too bad from that 30 seconds of playfilm.
Saw this on the PS Store the other day, was surprised it was £18.99. Glad I'll be getting it free, probably only reason I would of checked this out in the first place.
This would be a day one purchase for me - I got NBA after the cut off as I didn’t own a switch - I was shamefully late to the party - I’d like physical and all the DLC - I’ll wait for more info.
This is gonna be a fun game.
NBA playground is my most played switch game in terms of hours - so much to unlock and so easy to pick up and play easily.
A few tweaks away from greatness that game was.
Shaq Fu, babeeeeee! Shaq is back! Here comes da moneeeeee!
Does it come with Kobe Beef DLC???
This looks awful and it's crazy they are charging that much of a price for it.
I got NBA Playgrounds when it came out though so I will download it for free.
Let's Green Egg and Ham it!
Seriously, though. Who even asked for this?
I don't know if this will be any good, but I do love the look of it. And the fact that a sequel to Shaq Fu exists in the first place.
Does anyone know how the free copy will work? I bought NBA on day 1 so I assume I am covered, however I am not sure how I would prove this to them... I hope this is an easy process to redeem and do not make me have to just through hoops to get it
Is... is this a late April Fools joke?
I am hesitant to spend money on a meme but, I hope this shocked everyone and turns out to be an awesome beat-em-up!
I like the marketing slogan they got going... it’s better than the old one! 😂
@Dayton311 like to know this too
