Game designer Jordan Mechner is best known as the creator of the Prince of Persia series. However, his career began with a game that has gained cult status and was at the origins of the industry. This is Karateka, which was released in 1984.

Here's What We Know

Digital Eclipse has announced The Making of Karateka, a documentary film that details the history of the game's creation, the goals and thoughts of Jordan Mechner and his team. The film will include archival documents, design projects, video, audio and photo footage.

It is noteworthy that in addition to the documentary, buyers of The Making of Karateka will get the opportunity to play not only the original game, but also to play its updated version Karateka: Remastered. In addition, the bundle will also include Deathbounce: Rebounded, a twin-stick shooter based on Jordan Mechner's unreleased prototype.

Note that The Making of Karateka will be released later this year and will be the first film in the Gold Master Series.
