UK studio Echo Peak has unveiled its first title, Way of the Dogg, a rhythm-action combat game designed in collaboration with Snoop Dogg.

The game will be released later this year for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network alongside iOS and Android.

Every level in the kung fu-inspired Way of the Dogg is a fight against a different character matched to one of Snoop's tracks. Two screenshots for the game were released, showing Snoop Dogg kicking an adversary in the face behind a series of onscreen commands and star ratings.

"Everyone knows that Snoop is down with the biggest and best video games whether it's droppin' my hits on the soundtrack or showing the world I can go toe-to-toe with the best fighters on the street," said Snoop Dogg in a statement.

"Way of the Dogg is the first true gamification of my music," Dogg added. "It's the way you live, it's the way you do what you do and captures the beat, the rhythm and the spirit of my music. It's not just about who you are or where you've been but where you are headed to."

"This game shows how we evolve as individuals and they've incorporated the journey of my own personal reincarnation as Snoop Lion into my character, the environments, and the path that players have to follow," concluded Snoop Dogg.

Multi-platinum hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg recently rebranded himself as Snoop Lion, and he also had his own stage in Namco Bandai's Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

If anybody I knew bought this game, I'd kick the crap out of them and tell their family to have them committed.

Just so everybody knows, for every copy that gets sold, Snoop Dogg will get a fatty the size of a Pringles can.

I am sure this game will attract the adult mature hardcore gamer demographic that is so sought after by the publishers.

@Baroni88 Unfortunately, a washed up artist would do anything to stay relevant.

I thought he's calling himself Snoop Lion? So, it should be Snoop Lion's Way of the Lion.
