The Punisher: No Mercy is a first-person shooter video game that was released on July 2, 2009 on the PSN Store. It also shares fonts and models from the 2008 film Punisher: War Zone. The game was pulled from PSN as of 2011 due to licensing expiring between Marvel and Zen Studios, although Marvel continued working with Zen Studios on themed-pinball arcade called, Marvel Pinball.

The game is an arena based first person shooter, with four arenas available at launch including New York, Docks and Factories. The player is able to carry three weapons at a time to convey a sense of realism. The story mode consists of four matches played on different maps with different game types. Before playing, players are required to select a mode which will advantage the player. The game includes local multiplayer and online play, which contains deathmatch, one vs many and co-op. The player is not able to drive vehicles. There is a total of eight playable characters, each with their own unique abilities. The single-player game mode includes story scenes featuring original artwork by Mike Deodato.
