Saber and Lionsgate Announce Untitled John Wick Game with Keanu Reeves
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Saber Interactive and Lionsgate have announced an untitled John Wick game featuring an original script, Keanu Reeves, and franchise director Chad Stahelski.
Keanu Reeves is stepping back into the suit for an official John Wick game, revealed during a recent State of Play showcase. Developed through a collaboration between Saber Interactive and Lionsgate, the project is being shaped alongside franchise director Chad Stahelski to ensure it maintains the distinct style of the films. Rather than simply retelling the movies, the game features an original script that expands the established timeline with both familiar faces and new characters.
The development team is promising a distinct gun fu combat system designed to capture the kinetic flow of the movies. Alongside the close quarters combat, players can expect immersive driving sequences and a variety of memorable environments that push the action across different set pieces. With Stahelski directly involved in the creative direction, the project aims to translate the cinematic choreography of the big screen into an interactive experience.
For players who treat action franchises as full entertainment universes, this project hits all the right notes by offering genuine narrative expansion instead of a lazy cash grab. We will be watching to see how the combat mechanics actually feel in practice when more gameplay drops. You can check out the official reveal trailer over at IGN South Africa.
