Saber Interactive and John Wick Director Partnering on New Gun-Fu Brawler Game

Saber Interactive, the prolific developer behind titles like Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 and World War Z, has officially announced a new third-person action game set within the high-octane John Wick universe. This project is being crafted in close collaboration with franchise director Chad Stahelski and features the unmistakable likeness of Keanu Reeves. While the visual representation is spot-on, there is currently no confirmation regarding whether Reeves will provide the voice work for his digital counterpart.

The debut trailer captures the cinematic intensity of the films, showcasing a sleek Keanu Reeves navigating combat with lethal precision. The footage is punctuated by a tailor’s monologue about the necessity of a suit that allows for “unrestrained” movement and “versatility,” serves as a backdrop to Wick’s brutal efficiency as he dispatches adversaries using everything from firearms to improvised weaponry in a gritty urban environment.

According to the official reveal, this “Untitled John Wick Game” is a joint effort between Saber, Lionsgate, and Stahelski. It will feature a canonical narrative that expands the series’ existing lore, introducing a mix of legacy characters and brand-new figures. Saber aims to remain faithful to the franchise’s aesthetic, promising a sophisticated “gun-fu” combat system, immersive driving sequences, and stylized cinematography designed to make players feel as though they have stepped directly into a John Wick feature film.

This upcoming title marks a significant evolution for the brand in the gaming space. While Bithell Games previously explored the IP with the tactical 2019 release John Wick Hex, this new project appears to be a much more direct and visceral adaptation of the Baba Yaga’s legendary skills.
