Rise to Honor: First Screens
Although we had footage from E3, we kind of 'forgot' the screenshots from Jet Li's first videogame. So here they are.
Rise to Honor follows the story of Kit Yun (Jet Li), the trusted bodyguard of Boss Chiang, the leader of one of Hong Kong's crime gangs. As Chiang is assassinated, he whispers his dying wish to Kit to deliver an important message to Chiang's estranged daughter Michelle in San Francisco. By fulfilling Chiang's wish, Kit becomes entangled in a web of alliances and hidden agendas that unveil a great struggle between his conflicting sense of duty and honor.
Jet Li and acclaimed action director, Cory Yuen, who has partnered with Li on many projects, worked closely with the development team for two months to plan and perform the fight moves and action choreography seen in Rise to Honor. In addition to his motion capture performance, Li is providing voiceover for the game's main character, as well as contributing to the creative direction of the project.
We'll keep you posted as we learn more about the game.
