Kanye West is planning to release a video game based on his mother’s ascension to heaven.

The game and its accompanying trailer were revealed at the tail-end of West’s extravagant launch event for his new album and clothing linein New York last night.

The trailer for the game (see below) sees Donda West, who passed away in 2007, riding on the back of a white horse before growing wings and flying through the sky. ‘Only One’ shares a name with the Paul McCartney collaboration Kanye West released in 2014.

Speaking to the audience at Madison Square Garden, West said: “The idea of the game is my mom traveling through the gates of heaven.”
