Ex-Call of Duty Devs Launch First Official Kickboxer Game - Is Van Damme Included

Former Call of Duty developers are teaming up with Dimitri Logothetis and Rob Hickman to create the first official video game based on the Kickboxer film franchise. Force Multiplier Studios is currently in early development of this game, which aims to blend the narrative richness of the Kickboxer series with fast-paced martial arts action. Players can expect to encounter iconic characters and locations, though it remains unclear if Jean-Claude Van Damme will reprise his role. The game promises innovative gameplay features, allowing players to experience kickboxing like never before, and additional details are anticipated later this year.

While Force Multiplier Studios has not confirmed Jean-Claude Van Damme's involvement, they have mentioned holding licenses for various characters and likenesses from the Kickboxer universe, suggesting that he could potentially appear.

The original Kickboxer film, released in 1989, starred Jean-Claude Van Damme and became a cultural icon, leading to multiple sequels. The rebooted trilogy includes Kickboxer: Vengeance and Kickboxer: Retaliation, showcasing a new generation of martial artist stars. This upcoming video game aims to capture the essence of the franchise while providing an engaging gaming experience for fans.
