"Revealed during Sony's February State of Play presentation, the game, known only as Untitled John Wick Game, looks like an attempt to do for John Wick what Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has done for our favorite Nazi-punching grave robber. The reveal trailer starts with two guys in a tailor shop which briefly gave me hope that some enlightened studio somewhere decided to make an action game out of the movie The Outfit. Though that incredibly specific dream has been thwarted, I don't mind what's taken its place."
"There was John Wick Hex, a tactical RPG that was great in its own right, but movie about a one-man wrecking crew like Mr. Wick begs for the Hitman treatment and it looks like that's what Saber is going for. The trailer is appropriately gruesome featuring several shots of John just stabbing stabbing a guy in the face and another moment where he makes use of the tools around him and beats a guy with a cast iron pan."
"John Wick's creators have been trying to squeeze a bit more out of the franchise. , the spinoff movie starring Ana de Armas released last year to decent reviews and in 2023 Peacock produced The Continental, a miniseries centered on the movie's fancy assassin hotel. There's also a fifth John Wick movie in the works with Keanu Reeves set to reprise the titular role. With him also starring in this game, Keanu is probably going to be very busy with John Wick for the foreseeable future."
Saber Interactive is developing an untitled John Wick action game revealed during Sony's February State of Play. The game appears to adopt a Hitman-like approach to the one-man-wrecking-crew formula, favoring tactical stealth and inventive environmental kills. The reveal trailer opens in a tailor shop and features graphic, improvised-weapon combat moments. The story is set years before Wick's "Impossible Task" mission and promises deeper looks into the franchise's eccentric lore. Previous franchise expansions include a spinoff film starring Ana de Armas and Peacock's 2023 miniseries The Continental, with a fifth John Wick movie also in development.
