TUPAC SHAKUR JOINS SEGA’S ‘STRANGER THAN HEAVEN’ GAME

Sega unveiled some new cast additions for their upcoming action-adventure game, “Stranger Than Heaven,” including the late Tupac Shakur.

At Summer Game Fest 2026 last week, Sega of America and RGG Studio unveiled new cast additions for their highly anticipated upcoming action-adventure game, “Stranger Than Heaven.” That includes iconic rapper and actor, the late Tupac Shakur. Actors Takashi Ukaji, Yasukaze Motomiya, Takaya Kuroda, and Kohei Tsuji will also be joining the cast, with a worldwide release set for January 15, 2027.

Following the trailer reveal, RGG Studio Head Masayoshi Yokoyama took to the stage to officially confirm the game’s release date. Yokoyama was also joined on stage by Snoop Dogg and his son Cordell Broadus, who both portray characters in the game and touched on the inclusion of Tupac as a character named Amaru. Snoop is also contributing to the game’s official theme song along with Satoshi Fujihara, Ado, and Tori Kelly, who also portray characters in the game.

Tupac’s portrayal of the character Amaru in “Stranger Than Heaven” is made possible with the permission and ongoing supervision of his estate, Amaru Entertainment. RGG Studio is reportedly treating this integration with the utmost respect for his legacy, crafting every aspect in close collaboration and without the use of AI, including his character design based on archival footage and photographs. More details regarding his role will be shared at a later date.

“Stranger Than Heaven” will be available on Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, Xbox Cloud, Steam, and PlayStation 5. The game is available now for pre-order in digital standard and deluxe editions, as well as physical standard and collector’s editions.

The physical collector’s edition (available in limited quantities for Xbox Series X|S or PlayStation 5) includes an exclusive 12-inch vinyl record featuring the main theme, “Stranger Than Heaven,” along with other tracks from the game. It also includes an exclusive SteelBook case, Deluxe Upgrade and Pre-Order Bonus DLC codes, and the base game, all included in the premium box featuring exclusive art.
