Kanye West: Musician, fashion designer... videogame creator.

"I worked on a videogame and I wanted to show y'all," he said Thursday, during the livestreamed release party for his new album The Life of Pablo. "The idea of the game is, my mom is traveling through heaven."

The stream then cut to a short trailer of the game, called Only One, sharing the name with a track released by West in late 2014 in collaboration with Paul McCartney. It depicts a winged woman—the late Donda West, who passed away in 2007, by all indications—soaring through a painterly cloudscape heaven. It looks awfully nice, actually.

This isn't the first time West has discussed making a game about his late mother—he referred to the project last year during a radio interview—but this is the first concrete indication of the project's existence. No information yet on platform or release date, though the trailer ended by promising that the game was "coming soon."
