Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn

Last year, Saber Interactive announced a special offer involving NBA Playgrounds. Those who purchased the game by the time its online patch dropped would be entitled to a free digital copy of Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn.

This will be going live starting tomorrow. On the eShop, Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn will show a 100% discount to eligible Switch owners, making it entirely free. Again, it only applies to players who bought NBA Playgrounds before the online update.

You’ll have until July 5 to claim your free copy.

Saber Interactive and Wired Productions have announced that the physical retail version of Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn will contain “super-secret day one additional DLC content”. Those who buy the product at launch will receive “more Fu than they could have possibly imagined”.
