Stranger Than Heaven to include Tupac as a character

gamingJun 5, 2026621,099

Stranger Than Heaven's latest trailer revealed the game will launch January 15, 2027 and that Tupac will appear as a character, included with permission from his estate. Creators are turning that reveal into edits, illustrated portraits, short animatics, cosplay and parody comics that place Tupac in the game's neon concert and street-fight set pieces. Works concentrate on Tupac himself, the trailer's concert-stage scenes, and speculation about who will voice him, with several pieces invoking earlier posthumous appearances like Bunta Sugawara and Toshiro Mifune. Tone ranges from celebratory tribute to parody and pointed critique.

Snoop Dogg on stage for Stranger Than Heaven. "I'm a big fan of SEGA" - Snoop Snoop Dogg says he works very closely with the Tu Pac estate Death Row Games - "bringing to life in a couple months"

God I hope they don't use AI for his voice or something

That honestly is a bit disturbing to me. Also Lap Dogg in the game is also disappointing.

The moment any interest I had for the game completely faded away.

Now watch Nagoshi add Biggie Smalls to Gang of Dragon.

I was really psyched for this game and if this is some AI bastard Tupac I'm out

Snoop helping a bunch of dorks make money off a dead artist makes perfect sense.

tu pac didn't announce shit, he's been dead for decades.

Either he is completely mute or Snoop’s joining Drake at Oakland

So dumb and so shady

I honestly feel so disturbed by this. Like idc if Snoop is "working closely" with Tupac's estate or whatever; this seems just straight-up disrespectful to me. They're puppeting a dead man as entertainment. How is that okay?

Well, I guess that's one way to piss on someone's grave.
