According to both reports, the game is a third-person melee-oriented RPG complete with four-player co-op. The game was also said to heavily involve the Wu-Tang Clan members themselves with the game’s soundtrack and would feature the likes of loot, weapons, and gear from defeated enemies. According to the reports, the game is in development at Brass Lion Entertainment, a new studio formed in 2019 by Manveer Heir.

Insider Gaming can corroborate these original reports and understands that the game is currently in its Alpha stage

The gameplay evolves around fast-paced melee combat in third-person, with a strong focus on having both music and combat intertwined. Players can choose from four different weapons that all have different and unique playstyles (single swords, dual swords, etc.). It’s understood that the game features a massive catalog of the Wu-Tang Clan’s music, most of which has been re-imagined by producer and DJ Just Blaze for the game.

Gameplay sent to Insider Gaming under the condition that the footage doesn’t go public and the source remains anonymous shows an animation style somewhat similar to Into The Spider-verse. For example. one front flip with a slam attack contained 7-8 frames of animation. As for the overall visuals, the game is bright, colorful, and anime-like in style. Players can explore the vast world freely, which is described as “blurring the boundaries of reality”.

Insider Gaming was unable to get an accurate release date from its sources, but gameplay suggests that the game could still be one or two years away at the very least.

Aw c'mon their stuff is classic and leagues better than most of the trash that passes as hip-hop today, IMO.

Although picturing an RPG with them as the characters is kind of hilarious in a way. It'd be cool if it were authentic to the era but I know it won't be because of "modern audiences" and I dunno if a brand new studio can pull the vibe off right out of the gate.

And likely the frames won't be stylistically drawn to give the impression of speed or movement, either. That's something I see lots of Western animation and games fail to do that are anime-influenced.

They usually rely on cheap tricks like blurring or smearing to give that impression instead of drawing indicators of that movement or impact in the image itself.
