Saber Interactive hasn’t had much to say about Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn. We did recently come across a retail listing for the game, but we haven’t heard much over the past few months.

Speaking with TechRaptor, Saber Interactive finally explained the situation. Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn is apparently complete, and the team is now working around licensing issues. News will be provided soon on the game’s official Indiegogo page. Oh, and the Wii U version has been dropped, which is not much of a surprise.

Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn

Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn is in development for Switch. That’s according to Saber Interactive CEO Matthew Karch, who revealed this information to Nintendo Everything in a recent interview.

Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn was originally funded on Indiegogo in 2014. At the time, it seemed like a Wii U version had been secured. We’re unsure if Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn is still planned for Wii U, but now that Switch has arrived, it wouldn’t be surprising to hear about its cancellation.

Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn has been successfully funded on Indiegogo. With about eight hours remaining, the campaign crossed its $450,000 target.

Big Deez Productions will be bringing Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn to Wii U at some point in the future. The game was originally planned for 3DS as well, though plans for that version may have since been scrapped.

Thanks to Brandon for the tip.
