Developer Echo Park and publisher 505 Games announce that they are teaming up with the artist currently known as Snoop Lion in order to launch a new video game called Way of the Dogg.

At the moment, the new title is set to launch on the PlayStation Network from Sony, the Xbox Live Arcade service from Microsoft, and on mobile platforms.

Release date is set for April 23 and the video game comes at the same time as the new album and movie from Snoop Lion, both called Reincarnated.

Way of the Dogg will feature a character named America who needs to avenge the murder of his girlfriend by learning fighting techniques at the Temple run by Snoop Lion.

The hip-hop artist has previously licensed songs for Rock Band and apparently is an avid gamer himself.
