Jack Phoenix’ art comes to life in Sakeworld, a side-scrolling beat ‘em up where LA rappers save the world from aliens
| When tragedy strikes, what do you do? You honor the dead – and continue their work. That’s what film composer Nick Phoenix did after his son Jack was stricken by a fleeing vehicle during a police chase in 2015. Nick gathered all of the amazing art Jack had produced during his life, started apparel brand Sake Forever, and now has completed Sakeworld – with help from Meta 3D Studios. Sakeworld is launching on consoles for the very first time with a PS5/PS4 release this Friday, February 24. Check out the launch trailer: |

| In this beat ‘em up powered by the incredible art of Jack Phoenix and music by artists including Trippie Redd, D Savage, Chief Keef, Rucci and Yung Bans, rappers are tasked with saving the streets from alien invaders – and the most powerful crime syndicates on Earth. Enter the alternate reality of “Sakeworld.” Face off against the Grim Reaper, demon babies, infected gang members, and an undead reindeer. Punch through a crowd. Empty a clip. Keep a cool head in this weird alternate dimension or get smoked. Beat ‘em up, bounce to the beat, and be smart about it – because things are about to get seriously weird in Sakeworld. |
