The world has seen its fair share of rapper video games but none are as heartwarming as Kanye West's upcoming 'Only One: The Game.'
Announced at West's Yeezy Season 3 spectacle, the game stars West's deceased mother riding a winged horse among a flock of angels. Players will play the role of the rapper's mother in angel form as they guide her through the gates of heaven. Not much has been released on the game's obstacles and challenges, but the game will feature a remastered version of the rapper's well-known and sentimental hit 'Only One.'
While rapper video games of the past have been used to promote industry feuds or upcoming albums, 'Only One: The Game' honors someone who played a key role in the rap mogul's success.
