A Proper John Wick Game is Finally Heading to PS5
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Sony revealed an untitled John Wick game for PS5 during its latest State of Play, developed by Saber, Lionsgate, and franchise director Chad Stahelski to bring the film's signature gun fu combat to life.
For a franchise that essentially functions as a playable action movie, it is genuinely surprising that it has taken over a decade for a major, big budget John Wick game to materialize. During the latest PlayStation State of Play showcase, Sony finally pulled back the curtain on an untitled John Wick project currently in development as a joint venture between Saber, Lionsgate, and franchise director Chad Stahelski. According to Polygon, the reveal trailer kicked off with cinematic CGI establishing the familiar underworld setting before giving players a brief, punchy look at actual gameplay in motion.
While the gameplay snippet lasted only a few seconds, it showcased the kind of brutal, up close and personal combat that defines the films. Players can expect John to slam, break, and shoot his way through adversaries using the series signature gun fu style. The official project description also promises immersive driving experiences and original storytelling tied directly into the canon universe. Fans have previously seen the character pop up in battle royale crossovers like Fortnite or explored in tactical spin-offs like John Wick Hex, but this marks the first time a mainstream release aims to fully capture the kinetic thrill of the movies with the direct involvement of the filmmakers.
For cross-platform players and action enthusiasts who treat gaming as their primary interactive escape, getting a dedicated title built by people who understand the source material is a massive win. Saber has a solid track record of handling established IPs, and having Chad Stahelski oversee the project helps guarantee that the stylized choreography and distinct visual tone will translate properly to controllers. As we wait for a proper title and a firm release window, this reveal immediately jumps to the top of the most anticipated list for anyone looking to step into the shoes of the ultimate assassin.
