Kickboxer: The Video Game

Debuting in 1989, Kickboxer has left an indelible mark on pop culture, celebrated for its thrilling fight sequences and inspiring themes of resilience and redemption. This partnership aims to bring the high-octane universe of Kickboxer to gaming, offering fans an immersive martial arts brawler experience. Force Multiplier Studios is a new development studio co-founded by Jeremy Breslau, Brent Friedman and Charnjit Bansi, video game industry veterans who led narrative and design on multiple AAA franchises, including Call of Duty, Borderlands and Halo. They have also worked extensively in film adaptations from the Tomb Raider and Mortal Kombat universes.

"Kickboxer is more than just a film; it's a cultural phenomenon that has inspired generations of fans and martial artists alike," said Dimitri Logothetis, writer and director of Kickboxer: Armageddon, and who has been instrumental in reviving the franchise with recent film adaptations. "I'm thrilled to collaborate with the incredible team at Force Multiplier Studios. We're going to create a gaming experience that pays tribute to the original film while introducing exciting new gameplay elements."

"With the expertise of Force Multiplier Studios, we're building something that will not only honor the franchise's legacy but redefine what fans can expect from a martial arts brawler," added producer Rob Hickman.

"We couldn't be more excited to be partnering with Dimitri and Rob to bring Kickboxer into the gaming world," said Jeremy Breslau, CEO of Force Multiplier Studios. "Our passion is innovation, and just as we're innovating on Fortnite Creative with our own environmental combat shooter experience Karnivus: Rooftop Rumble, we can't wait to innovate the fighting genre with incredibly visceral combat and an emphasis on the environment and what you can do in it. We are crafting a dynamic brawler that will empower players to be the best kickboxers in the world, traveling to exotic locales and introducing new environmental combat mechanics to deliver a martial arts experience like never before."
