Filmen Ong-bak blev hurtig ret populær blandt martial arts-filmelskere, da den udkom i 2003. Tony Jaa gav den på fantastisk vis gas som Thai-krigeren Ting, og de mange flotte kampscener har nu fået produktionsselskabet Studio HIVE til at investere i en spilmatisering. Martial arts film er om nogen genre selvskrevet til nogle fede spil, men hvordan Ong-bak spillet bliver, det har vi ingen anelse om. Har modtaget en længere pressemeddelelse, hvor du kan læse, at Studio HIVE har ansat mere end 20 spiludviklere. Hvem disse udviklere er, og hvad de har lavet før, ved vi ikke noget om. Men vi vil alligevel tillade os at være glade, da Ong-bak kunne blive et rigtig godt spil.
