Reef Entertainment has revealed further details regarding its forthcoming game "Rambo: The Video Game," which is currently in production for consoles and PC.
"Rambo: The Video Game" will be a fixed-perspective, first-person shooter and action game allowing players to fill the combat boots of John Rambo on a violent journey through legendary action sequences from the original three legendary "Rambo" movies.
Reef fended off competition from other publishers to secure the game rights to "Rambo" from film company StudioCanal. The deal allows Reef to develop and release a number of titles based on the popular Sylvester Stallone movies.
"I am a big fan of Sylvester Stallone movies, and when we had the opportunity to secure the video game rights from StudioCanal for the Rambo franchise, we had to grab it with both hands" said Reef Entertainment CEO Peter Rezon. "With the success of the most recent Rambo film, and an international appetite for action movies with Expendables 2 scheduled for release next summer, we felt now was a good time to do something special with this license."
"First Blood," "Rambo: First Blood Part II", and "Rambo III" will form the basis for authentic Rambo gameplay comprising shoot-outs, stealth killings, demolition, knife play, and more.
Craig Lewis, commercial director at Reef added: "We have big ambitions for Reef and the Rambo IP is the first step in establishing us as a worldwide player. Rambo will be a triple-A title on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC and will capture the gritty atmosphere and full-on action which made the Rambo movies so successful."
Developed by Teyon, the game is expected to leverage the modern gameplay elements such as destructible terrain, cover-based shooting, and rag-doll physics to deliver the high-quality Rambo action fans around the world expect.
What's more, by matching classic fixed-perspective play to a contemporary game engine, the company believes that it can deliver a game that matches the pace and action set-piece diversity of the films.
