Sayonara Wild Hearts is available now on PC, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and the newly launched Apple Arcade. In the somewhat ambiguous story, you play an unnamed girl fighting to recover powerful arcana, in the aftermath of a heartbreak. At the end of every level (of which there are only a handful), you hear Queen Latifah announcing the rank you attained, based on your accumulated score. Queen Latifa's smooth vocals herald the introduction of the protagonist in Sayonara Wild Hearts, which plays as a kind of psychedelic music video. "So, I think like two weeks pass and I get a message from Annapurna to jump on Skype, and they tell me that 'Queen Latifah will be able to record tomorrow.' So her narration bits came in just some weeks ago," Flesser concludes. I think I had come home after having a beer with a friend, and was feeling somewhat jestful, and I just say 'Queen Latifah!' of course not meaning it very seriously at all imagining that it would be so far out of reach. I say something like that 'it would have been fun to have someone unexpected to do those bits,'" Flesser writes. "The story text bits somehow come up, and I mention that it was a shame that we never had the time to explore doing spoken narration for those bits. "So, we had submitted the game to QA/testing, and I chat with Nathan (Gary) from Annapurna," Simogo co-founder Simon Flesser tells me over email.
I reached out to developer Simogo to see how the collaboration between the Swedish studio and Queen Latifah came about. There's a sentence I didn't see myself typing when I woke up this morning. That's right: actress, rapper, legend Queen Latifah narrated Sayonara Wild Hearts. Is there something you think we should be reporting on? Email you've completed Sayonara Wild Hearts, the new fast paced and frenetic rhythm-action game, you might have seen a rather iconic name pop up at the very end of the game.
