Um filme tailandês de artes marciais é a próxima aposta multiplataforma do Studio HIVE, uma nova empresa de desenvolvimento que antes fazia trabalhos gráficos para a Square Enix. De acordo com o Destructoid, os direitos de “Ong-Bak – Guerreiro Sagrado”, que tem como protagonista Tony Jaa, foram comprados pela empresa, que deve lançar um novo jogo baseado na obra ainda em 2012.
O filme, que já recebeu duas continuações, conta a história de Tin, um lutador de muay thai que parte da sua vila para a cidade grande em busca de uma relíquia religiosa que foi roubada.

Espero muito deste jogo, ja vi os 3 filmes e adorei-os.. Recomendo fortemente os filmes par que gosta de um filme de acção e artes marciais.. Para ter uma ideia vou deixar-vos aqui um "cheirinho" dos filmes:
Entrevista acerca do jogo:
- Spoiler:
- Q: When did development on the game begin?
A: Initial discussion about this project started in 2010 but actual game development began around 6 months ago.
Q: Is the game based on the first Ong-Bak, which was based in the contemporary world, or will it be based on the sequels, which were set in the 15th Century? Or is it something else entirely?
A: It is based on the project that has yet to be announced so that’s why it’s still a bit of a secret and no screenshots to go along with our initial announcement.
Q: What type of genre will the game actually be? A fighting game, a third person action game?
A: It will be a 3D side-scrolling action game.
Q: Will you be playing as Ting, Tien or someone else?
A: We can’t say specific details but you will be playing as a character portrayed by Tony Jaa.
Q: Approximately how many fighting moves will your character have?
A: We have around 20-30 moves though we’re not finished with the combat system. We are trying our best to include all fan favorite moves in here.
Q: Will you be able to use the environment as a weapon?
A: No. It does not really fit in our gameplay design we have.
Q: Is Tony Jaa [star of Ong-Bak], or any other muay Thai expert, involved in the game?
A: Yes. Tony Jaa himself is involved in this game and it is equally important to tell you that master Panna Rittikrai [Ed: Thai martial arts action choreographer, Tony Jaa's mentor, Ong-Bak director and screenwriter] and his stunt team are heavily involved as he is designing action sequences and fighting moves for this game.
Q: How much creative control was Studio HIVE given over what is an existing IP?
A: The team at Sahamongkol Film International is very supportive and they allow us to pitch ideas not only concerning gameplay but also visual and story elements as well.
Q: Ong-Bak has several very dark themes – drug abuse, overdoses and murder. Is this something we should expect to see in the game?
A: There will be a lot of brutal violence, but not with a dark theme like drugs or murder.
Q: There’s also a focus on Buddhist philosophy in the films – especially in Ong-Bak 3 – will that influence the game?
A: We want to make sure that the purpose of this game is to make sure it is enjoyable for players and additionally giving fans of the series more in-depth experience. There will be some elements of Buddhism, but it will not be our primary focus.
Q: The PS Vita already has a slew of fighting games, and portables are historically very popular in Asian territories. Will you be developing for the Vita?
A: We cannot give comments regarding release platforms right now as it will be officially announced at a later stage.
Q: In 2008, Thailand banned several violent video games like Hitman and Killer Seven – do concerns about being banned affect the content of the Ong-Bak game?
A: We are developing this game with our target audience being overseas fans so the violent video game ban in Thailand does not affect us.
Q: When are you planning to release the game?
A: We are targeting late 2012 for our release.
