Los Angeles, CA – January 30, 2025 – A legendary martial arts franchise is making the leap into gaming. Force Multiplier Studios has teamed up with filmmakers Dimitri Logothetis and Rob Hickman—the creative minds behind Kickboxer: Vengeance, Kickboxer: Retaliation, and the upcoming Kickboxer: Armageddon—to develop the first-ever Kickboxer video game.

Currently in early development, this high-octane brawler aims to blend the cinematic storytelling of Kickboxer with dynamic martial arts combat. Fans can expect to step into the ring with iconic characters and battle across legendary locations from the franchise that first made waves in 1989, starring martial arts superstar Jean-Claude Van Damme. Known for its intense fight sequences and themes of resilience and redemption, Kickboxer has remained a cult classic, and this new adaptation promises to deliver an immersive, action-packed experience.


A Powerhouse Team Behind the Game

Force Multiplier Studios is a fresh but formidable force in game development, co-founded by industry veterans Jeremy Breslau, Brent Friedman, and Charnjit Bansi. With extensive experience in AAA franchises like Call of Duty, Borderlands, and Halo, the team brings a wealth of knowledge in crafting engaging narratives and action-packed gameplay. They have also contributed to film-to-game adaptations from beloved franchises like Tomb Raider and Mortal Kombat.

Kickboxer isn’t just a film—it’s a cultural icon that has inspired generations of martial artists and action fans,” said Dimitri Logothetis, writer and director of Kickboxer: Armageddon. “I’m beyond excited to collaborate with the talented team at Force Multiplier Studios to bring this universe to life in a new, interactive way. Our goal is to honor the original film while introducing fresh and innovative gameplay mechanics.”

Producer Rob Hickman echoed the excitement: “With the expertise of Force Multiplier Studios, we’re not just making a game—we’re redefining what fans can expect from a martial arts brawler.”

Jeremy Breslau, CEO of Force Multiplier Studios, emphasized their vision: “We’re thrilled to be working with Dimitri and Rob to finally bring Kickboxer into the gaming world. Our focus is innovation, and just as we’ve been pushing the boundaries with Karnivus: Rooftop Rumble in Fortnite Creative, we’re looking to revolutionize the fighting genre. Expect incredibly visceral combat, a deep emphasis on environmental interaction, and a chance to become the ultimate kickboxing champion while traveling to exotic locations.”


A New Era for Martial Arts Gaming

With a powerhouse team, a beloved franchise, and a commitment to next-level gameplay, the Kickboxer video game is shaping up to be an electrifying addition to the fighting game genre. While no release date has been announced, fans can anticipate more updates as development progresses.
