Earlier this week, Ghostface Killah announced he would be spearheading the upcoming Wu-Tang Clan album, as it seems that RZA has relinquished the role. Today, RZA and gaming company Atari are partnering for an original album inspired by music from the company's games, Billboard reports. "I’m so excited to work on these iconic games to deliver what I believe will be one of my best albums," RZA told Billboard. "“I am going to invite some of my friends to join me and it will be Game On with the first beat!”

The upcoming album will mark the second time that RZA has collaborated with Atari, after doing voice-over work for the company's 2006 game Marc Eckō’s Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure. RZA will be leading the way on production for the new album along with executive producers Chesnais and Stephen Belafonte.
