An Ambitious New John Wick Game is Coming to PS5 and It Looks Incredible

The conversation surrounding John Wick typically centers on two undeniable truths: Keanu Reeves is an unparalleled force of nature in the lead role, and the franchise’s DNA is inherently linked to the visceral pacing of a video game. Curiously, it has taken over a decade to manifest a high-caliber interactive adaptation. However, judging by the footage unveiled during Sony’s latest State of Play, the extended development cycle may have been exactly what was required.

Currently referred to by the working title Untitled John Wick Game, the reveal trailer opened with a cinematic introduction to Wick’s sophisticated world of professional homicide. The footage culminated in a tantalizing glimpse of the title in action. While the sequence lasted only a few fleeting moments, the gameplay appears exceptionally robust. Players witnessed Wick executing a flurry of close-quarters maneuvers, ruthlessly dismantling adversaries with the slams and bone-crunching strikes that have become his cinematic signature.

This ambitious project is a collaborative effort between Saber Interactive, Lionsgate, and Chad Stahelski, the visionary director behind the film series. Notably, the game will feature an original narrative woven directly into the established John Wick canon.

“Saber’s vision remains meticulously faithful to the series’ aesthetic and core pillars. This includes a sophisticated ‘gun fu’ combat engine, breathtaking cinematography, high-stakes driving sequences, and a gallery of iconic locations. Every element is engineered to place the player directly into the suit of Baba Yaga himself,” the official press release states.
