After taking over the music and the fashion industry, Kanye West is getting into the video game industry.

During his Tidal livestream event, when the 38-year-old rapper unveiled his new album 'The Life of Pablo' and his collection Yeezy Season 3, he also announced his newest venture 'Only One: The Game,' reports People magazine.

Inspired by his late mother Donda West, the 21-time Grammy winner previewed the video game concept with a teaser video which showed a woman riding a pegasus into the gates of heaven.

Donda died in November 2008 due to heart disease while suffering multiple post-operative factors, one day after undergoing plastic surgery.

Talking about the game, West said that the idea is that it's his mother going through the gates of heaven adding that the players got to bring her to the highest gate of heaven by holding her to the light.

The rapper was spotted backtstage wearing a T-shirt with a photo of his late mother on the front shortly following the video game announcement.
