On August 22, 2024, Project Kyzen, a new Web3 multiplayer game from Impact Theory Studios, will be released, featuring a custom Bruce Lee avatar. Developed in collaboration with the Bruce Lee Family Company, the game allows players to engage in five Mini Battle Arena (MiBA) modes, where they can customize their avatars with skins, apparel, and accessories inspired by the martial artist.

Project Kyzen drops players into five distinct Mini Battle Arena (MiBA) game modes where they channel Bruce Lee's martial arts expertise. The customization system includes exclusive avatar skins, outfits, and accessories that unlock through gameplay milestones or direct purchase.
Tom Bilyeu, CEO of Impact Theory and co-founder, described the collaboration as deeply personal. Bruce Lee's Tao of Jeet Kune Do shaped Bilyeu's early mindset and career path, making this integration more than a licensing deal. The goal is to celebrate Bruce Lee's cultural impact while passing his philosophical approach to a new generation of gamers.
"Bruce Lee's Tao of Jeet Kune Do changed my life when I was young and put me on the path to developing the mindset that's allowed me to achieve hyper-success. Integrating Bruce's timeless wisdom and iconic persona into Project Kyzen is a dream come true. He inspired our mission to empower gamers worldwide, and we're beyond excited to bring Bruce Lee into the game. It allows players the chance to embody his greatness and engage with his teachings in a dynamic and immersive way."

Shannon Lee, CEO of the Bruce Lee Family Company, sees gaming as the right venue for Bruce Lee's teachings to reach fans who admire him but don't practice martial arts. Project Kyzen's arena environments provide a natural fit for demonstrating his Jeet Kune Do techniques and life philosophy in action.
"We see gaming as an essential space for Bruce Lee's teachings and martial arts to reach fans who are inspired by Bruce but aren't necessarily martial arts practitioners. Project Kyzen's immersive Mini-Battle Arenas are the perfect setting for his Jeet Kune Do moves, and we can't wait to see it in action."
Tom Bilyeu built his reputation through Quest Nutrition before launching Impact Theory, a platform focused on motivational content and entrepreneurship. Despite facing legal scrutiny over past NFT projects, Impact Theory continues to pursue ambitious digital entertainment ventures.
