Jackass the Game developer Red Mile Entertainment has acquired the rights for an exclusive "multi-year, worldwide" licence to develop and publish games based on the series.

The series tells the tales of the residents of Basin City--otherwise known as Sin City--where violent crime rates are high, and the police routinely wear full-body armour.

A co-directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller, and starring Bruce Willis and Jessica Alba, was released in 2005. Filming for the sequel, , is due to start next month. Red Mile's CEO, Chester Aldridge, commented on the deal, "Sin City enjoys a broad and devoted following.
