John Wick Hex: One Last Shot Before It Gets Vaulted – Should You Take It?
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
*John Wick Hex*, the tactical strategy game set in the *John Wick* universe, is being delisted from all storefronts on July 17, 2025, leaving players one last chance to buy the game before it disappears. Grab it before it's gone, or miss out on this unique take on the action franchise.
Right, listen up, gaming mates! It seems our favorite Baba Yaga is facing a digital delisting. Game Rant is reporting that *John Wick Hex*, the strategy game foray into the world of assassins, is being pulled from all storefronts come July 17, 2025. Blimey!
Now, *John Wick Hex*, developed by Bithell Games (the folks behind *Thomas Was Alone*, remember those sentient rectangles?), isn't your typical run-and-gun. It's a tactical, timeline-manipulating affair where you meticulously plan Wick's every move. Think chess with more gun-fu. It landed on PC and Mac back in 2019 and then made its way to consoles in 2020.
The game features the voices of Ian McShane (Winston), the late, great Lance Reddick (Charon), and Troy Baker as the villain Hex. That's some serious voice acting pedigree, innit?
But here's the rub: Big Fan Games, the publisher, hasn't given us a reason for the delisting. Are the licensing fees too high? Did Keanu secretly hate the game (doubtful, he seems like a decent bloke)? Is this some grand conspiracy involving the High Table and digital distribution rights? We may never know. (Unless I do some digging. Hmmm...)
After July 17th, if you already own the game, you’re golden. You can still access it. And physical copies for consoles will still work. It’s the digital newcomers who are getting the short end of the stick. But those of you who don't have the game can still buy it for $19.99 before it is gone. Is it worth that price tag?
Some say the gameplay falls a bit short, but others praise its unique comic-book style and entertaining story. *John Wick Hex* served as the only prequel to the *John Wick* movies until recently, but that will soon change due to the upcoming animated film. Maybe this delisting is about clearing the slate for a new game to tie into that? Let's hope it's a AAA title. Maybe we'll finally get that open-world Wick experience we've all been dreaming about. (Imagine the weapon customization!).
Look, I'm not saying *John Wick Hex* is a masterpiece. But it's a unique take on the action genre, and it gives you a bit more *John Wick* lore while we wait for new movies and games. So, if you're even remotely curious, maybe give it a shot before it disappears from the digital shelves forever. One last dance with the Baba Yaga, eh?
