The single-player third-person action game will ‘combine John Wick’s unparalleled, adrenaline-fueled gun-fu fighting style with Saber’s proven reputation for creating thrilling gaming experiences’.

The game will be tailored for mature audiences and is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. John Wick franchise director Chad Stahelski and star Keanu Reeves are both involved in the game’s 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,” said 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.”

Matthew Karch, CEO at Saber Interactive, added: “John Wick is one of the most iconic characters in action film history. Saber is honoured 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.”
