Giganten Sony har netop annonceret, at de har indgået en aftale med den slagstærke Jet Li, om at producerer et PS2 spil med skuespilleren som hovedperson. Spillet hedder Rise to Honor, og vil foruden bevægelser også indeholde hans rigtige stemme. Alle slagscener vil blive koreograferet af selveste Cory Yuen.
Spillet handler om Kit Yun, der fungerer som bodyguard for Chiang - lederen af Hong Kongs største bande. Efter et snigmord på Chiang bliver det Kit’s job at hente hans datter tilbage som bor i New York - der er der lagt op til bambusslag og kineserflade i den helt store stil.
Jim Wallace fra Foster City Studio sagde følgende om annonceringen:
"When we began the concept stages for Rise to Honor more than three years ago, we knew we wanted it to be based on the style of a Hong Kong action movie. We had Jet Li posters all over the studio and were referencing his movies for everything we had planned in the game. We were thrilled when we found out that Jet was interested in collaborating on a PlayStation 2 project, knowing that his creative input on Rise To Honor would help us to truly realize our vision for this ambitious game."
