Tupac Shakur Makes Surprising Appearance in New Stranger Than Heaven Video Game

Tupac Shakur makes a surprising appearance as a character in Sega’s upcoming video game, Stranger Than Heaven.

On June 5, Sega put out the trailer for the upcoming game release. The late rap icon is revealed at the end of the game’s new trailer as Amaru. The name of his character is a nod to the rapper's middle name, which came from 18th-century Peruvian rebel Túpac Amaru II. His estate signed off on the use of his likeness.

Snoop Dogg announced the reveal at Summer Game Fest 2026. According to the Dogg Father, he, his son, Cordell Broadus, and Tupac’s estate work closely together, and that Pac’s “likeness and spirit still lives on.” Snoop and his son Cordell Broadus will also appear in the game.
