“It’s been 20 years since the last hip-hop-based fighting game, with actual artists, real artists, in real time, that we really listen to, love, know, and pay attention to right then, right now,” he said.

He highlighted a gap since the Def Jam fighting games of the early 2000s, noting fans haven’t seen a game featuring contemporary stars in their prime.

Sauce Walka Reveals He’s Developing A Hip-Hop Fighting Game Called “Only Hands” With 50 Favorite Rappers

The title’s roster, he says, includes “50 signed, licensed… I would like to say all A-level artists.”

Names he shared include NLE Choppa, Kodak Black, That Mexican OT, Boosie Badazz and Key Glock. He also added, “Free Lil Durk, Lil Durk on the game,” confirming the Chicago rapper will appear despite legal challenges.

By describing the roster as “big dogs,” Sauce Walka signals that Only Hands will spotlight influential, commercially relevant figures in hip-hop. He also stressed the artists are “signed, licensed,” indicating that their likenesses and brands are officially cleared for use.

Sauce Walka’s venture positions Only Hands as a modern fusion of hip-hop culture and competitive gaming. With real-time battles, current chart-toppers, and a nod to the genre’s history in gaming.

The title aims to capture the energy of today’s rap scene while giving fans a new way to engage with their favorite artists.
