Perhaps one of the hardest secrets I've had to keep, Barack Fu was today announced to be coming as an expansion for the hit game Shaq Fu. This might not be as much of a surprise as the developers were hoping for, details of the game leaking via its PSN trophies, and later getting datamined by curious individuals. Despite this, much of the desired shock and disbelief for what is ultimately an absurd idea built on top of a game I still struggle to believe exists is flying around social media. You can check out the announcement trailer below.

​

Having had a hands-on experience with this content when I went to London last month, I can tell you it is the sole reason I bought the game's physical edition. This expansion is an entirely new adventure through the eyes of a parodied Barack Obama (sadly not the man himself) and I dare say its humour outshines that of Shaq Fu itself. At the event, each member of staff I asked told me their preference for this over the base game, and I'm honestly sad it took them this long to announce it. If you picked up the physical version, the content should be available today for free on each platform. The expansion will eventually release to digital owners as DLC at a later date, so be patient and you'll get your ex-POTUS action before you know it.

That's satire, right? Because I can't imagine anybody calling an amoral 72-year-old obese slob "God Emperor" and being genuine about it. Even as enamored as the left was with Obama during his presidency they'd never use such cultish terms to describe him.

I was kind of wondering/hoping the same thing about the user who said Charles Barkley has AIDS. I mean he does realize that's Magic Johnson... right? Even if so, it's some all n-words are the same type of joke.

Ah if this game had local co-op I'd buy it right away. Player 2 could be old Bill Clinton.
