In a world of money, power, sex and murder, Julius Styles (Wesley Snipes) is an international “Facilitator” a man whose unique talents make him a valuable commodity. 

The game will combine action with a puzzle based format. Wesley Snipes explains: “This project was inspired by my desire to bring my Art of War, Murder at 1600 and Passenger 57 characters into the game world. Julius Styles will offer something for both the mind game strategist and the kick -ass special ops warrior lover.”

“This game will expand on the cool, sexy, diverse sometimes scary, and often bizarre world and people I’ve had the pleasure to spend time with.”

Ilkka Immonen, CEO of Lapland Studios adds: “This collaboration has already proven to be awesome, we’re very excited with Julius Styles and we have big plans for the future! We aim to bring gamers several stories of Julius Styles, several experiences on several different platforms. It should be a wicked journey! Our goal is to deliver a  unique game experience unlike anything on the market today.”
