战斗前的一礼...追溯著名ACT《Karateka》的历史，《Making of Karateka》发售日期确定！还包括重制版

Digital Eclipse has announced the release date for the interactive documentary “Making of Karateka,” which allows you to explore the history of the famous retro action game “Karateka.”

This work is an interactive documentary that delves into the history of the action game “Karateka” released by Brøderbund in the past. It includes interviews and commentary from developers such as Jordan Mechner, as well as design documents, unreleased footage, and a playable prototype version, emphasizing its documentary nature.

“Karateka” was a game developed by Jordan Mechner during his student days, who would later go on to create “Prince of Persia.” The game is known for its smooth character animation, characteristic of Mechner’s style.

The included games are the pixel-perfect version of the original “Karateka” for Apple II, as well as versions for Commodore 64 and Atari 8-bit computers, and a newly remastered version. Additionally, it includes the unreleased game “Deathbounce” created by Mechner and its remake.

Unfortunately, the Japanese versions for the Famicom and Game Boy, known as “Master Karateka,” are not included, possibly due to different rights holders.

どこでもセーブや巻き戻し、チャプター選択といったコレクションに欠かせない機能に加え、開発者によるリプレイやリプレイを途中から操作する機能なども含まれます。

今後もシリーズ化！

年内発売予定とされていましたが、この度ほとんどのプラットフォームでの発売日が8月29日に決定。価格は19.99ドルとなります。スイッチ版も発売されるものの、少しだけ遅れるとのことです。

インタラクティブドキュメンタリー形式の作品は今後もシリーズ化予定で、『カラテカ』以降も様々な作品を取り扱うようです。クラシックゲーム復刻に精力的な同社ならではの取り組みに期待したいですね。

『メイキング・オブ・カラテカ』は、PC（Steam/GOG.com）/PS4/PS5/Xbox One/Xbox Series X|S向けに現地時間8月29日発売予定。スイッチ版は未定であり、他機種から少し遅れて配信されます。
