The Karate Kid movies from the 80s will be released in 16-bit style in September

80s favourite film The Karate Kid is being adapted into a 16-bit style side-scrolling beat-em-up, and will be available on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and PC on September 20th this year.

Karate Kid: Street Rumble comes from GameMill Entertainment, the publisher of Nickelodeon’s All-Star Brawl, and sets its sights on the ’80s era of The Karate Kid rather than a sequel to Netflix’s Cobra Kai – which has already had two games made on it.

Street Rumble is, somewhat surprisingly, the second game based directly on the ’80s movie series (the first, Atlus’ NES action game The Karate Kid, came out in 1987) and promises to feature plenty of familiar faces in the form of ’80s multiplayer action.

According to Street Rumble IGN RevealedFor example, Daniel Russo, Mr. Miyagi, Kumiko and Ali Mills are all playable across the game’s 12 belt-scrolling-style stages, while the likes of Johnny Lawrence, John Kreese and Terry Silver will join the player as enemies.

There’s nothing else to report at the moment, but The Karate Kid: Street Rumble is due to release on September 20 for PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and Steam – and you’ll find some gameplay footage in the trailer above.
