1989 Action Classic 'Kickboxer' to Get First Video Game Adaptation

Force Multiplier Studios, led by ex-Call of Duty developers, is creating a high-octane martial arts brawler inspired by the Jean-Claude Van Damme film.

  • The upcoming game will be based on the 1989 martial arts movie 'Kickboxer,' which starred Jean-Claude Van Damme and became a cult classic.
  • Force Multiplier Studios, a team with experience on major franchises like Call of Duty, Borderlands, and Halo, is spearheading the project.
  • The game is described as a dynamic brawler featuring iconic characters, locations, and a focus on environmental combat mechanics to enhance gameplay.
  • Filmmakers Dimitri Logothetis and Rob Hickman, who worked on recent Kickboxer sequels, are collaborating on the adaptation.
  • It is unclear whether Jean-Claude Van Damme will lend his likeness to the game, with more details expected to be revealed later in 2025.
