A “John Wick” video game is in the works from Saber Interactive and Lionsgate with star Keanu Reeves reprising his role for the single-player third-person action title.
Described as a AAA video game “tailored for mature audiences,” the title is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC with “John Wick” film franchise director Chad Stahelski and Reeves involved.
The untitled “John Wick” game will combine John Wick’s “unparalleled, adrenaline-fueled ‘gun-fu’ fighting style with Saber’s proven reputation for creating thrilling gaming experiences that leave players craving more.”
The game will feature an “original gameplay narrative set in the ‘John Wick’ timeline years before the Impossible Task. It will expand on the franchise’s lore during that time with familiar characters fans already know and love, as well as compelling new ones created specifically for this production.”
“I can’t wait for fans to step into the shoes of John Wick and explore the multi-dimensional world of The High Table,” stated Jenefer Brown, President of Global Products & Experiences at Lionsgate. “We are collaborating closely with Saber’s dedicated team to develop a game that captures the unparalleled action, brand-defining fight choreography, immersive world-building, and authenticity of the films.”
“John Wick is one of the most iconic characters in action film history. Saber is honored to be working alongside Chad, Keanu and the Lionsgate team in a true collaboration to bring the world of Wick to life in a AAA game,” said Matthew Karch, CEO at Saber Interactive.
