Kanye West to Make a Video Game, Details Revealed
From writing and producing music to coming up with a fashion line, rapper and music producer Kanye West will now try his hands on making a game.
Recent news that the "Bound 2" performer is currently working on a video game based on one of his songs. Speaking with Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club radio show segment, the rather controversial music personality discussed about his next album and his collaboration with Adidas. During the course of the interview, the 37-year-old Chicago native also mentioned his current venture.
"Right now I'm working on a video game for Only One," West said, "and the idea is that it's my mother going through the gates of heaven and you have to bring her to the highest gates of heaven by holding her to the light. We've been working on it for like six months."
"Only One" is a song written by West which also featured The Beatles member Paul McCartney. Released on Dec. 31, 2014, the song is said to be a tribute to West's daughter with Keeping Up with The Kardashian star and wife, Kim Kardashian.
According to Pitchfork Media, the song is sung from the perspective of his late mother, Donda West, who passed away in 2007 from cardiac arrest and other "multiple post-operative factors" following a number of plastic surgeries.
Meanwhile, it hasn't been revealed what particular platform the game will take in as well as the developing firm who will take on the project with West.
Gamespot speculated that if it is intended for mobile gaming, then he'd be going toe to toe with his wife's already successful "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood" game. The said title has generated as much as $200 million last year through in-app purchases, the site added.
