Before Jordan Mechner became famous as the creator of Prince of Persia, he kicked off his game designing career with a fighting game called Karateka. Twenty-four years later, he’s ready for a sequel.
“There actually is a plan to bring back Karateka,” Mechner told a Comic-Con panel audience over the weekend. “It’s a project I’m going to be involved in. I can safely say it’s not going to be in the way you expect.”
Nothing else is known about the surprising revival, other than Mechner’s assurance that it will indeed be a videogame.
