Def Jam’ s Cryptic Tease Hints At New Game Announcement 11 August 2020 by Lara Jackson Def Jam Recordings has taken to social media to tease a potential return of the iconic hip hop fighting games. Just days after rapped Ice T called for a new Def Jam reboot for the next generation of console gaming, Def Jam has responded to the public outcry to make it happen. The official Def Jam Recordings Twitter account recently shared the following image, along with a very curious line of writing: “The streets saying we need a new Def Jam game.”ADVERT ADVERT ?

Instantly iconic, they’re some of the stand-out games of the PlayStation 2 and Xbox era. Whether or not EA would like to revive the Def Jam series is anyone’s guess, as they’re games which have sadly been missing from recent console lineups. However, EA is keen to bring back its beloved Skate series, so it’s not too far out of the realm of possibility to see Deaf Jam again in the future.ADVERT ADVERT At the time of writing, the official Deaf Jam account is just a couple of thousand followers away from one million.
