John Wick Game Announced: Everything You Need to Know

Saber Interactive and Lionsgate unveiled an untitled AAA John Wick game during Sony’s February 2026 State of Play, bringing the billion-dollar action franchise to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. With Keanu Reeves reprising his iconic role and franchise director Chad Stahelski deeply involved, this single-player third-person action game aims to deliver the definitive Baba Yaga experience.

The announcement trailer showcased John Wick getting fitted for his bulletproof suit, interspersed with screen-accurate jiu jitsu takedowns that capture the franchise’s signature gun-fu choreography.

Original Story Set Before the Impossible Task

The game features an original narrative set in the John Wick timeline years before the Impossible Task—the legendary assignment that earned Wick his freedom and retirement. This prequel setting allows players to control John Wick during his prime as The High Table’s most feared assassin.

The story will expand franchise lore with both familiar characters fans already know and compelling new ones created specifically for this production. According to Jenefer Brown, President of Global Products & Experiences at Lionsgate, the collaboration with Saber aims to capture the “unparalleled action, brand-defining fight choreography, immersive world-building, and authenticity of the films.”

Keanu Reeves Returns as John Wick

Keanu Reeves signed on to reprise his role with full likeness, voice, and involvement in production. This continues Reeves’ video game presence following his acclaimed performance as Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077 and voice work as Shadow in Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

All takedowns reportedly feature the signature labored weightiness of the films’ fight choreography, suggesting potential full performance capture involvement. Chad Stahelski, Reeves’ former stunt double on The Matrix and John Wick franchise visionary, is collaborating closely on the project.

Signature John Wick Elements

Saber Interactive promises to deliver signature elements fans expect from John Wick missions. The hard-hitting gun-fu combat system emphasizes rhythmic brutality, jaw-dropping camerawork mimics the films’ unique visual style, intense driving experiences recreate high-speed chase sequences, and bold neo-noir environments span dark corridors, luxury clubs, and stark hotel interiors.

According to Saber, the goal is creating “fully interactive mechanics that make players feel like they are in a John Wick movie, by playing the role of the Baba Yaga himself.” The studio aims to blur the line between movies and video games.

Environments feature makeshift weapons to utilize in combat—if you see Wick holding a pencil, run. The game emphasizes “fine details and iconography present throughout various locations and environments that players can visit during the course of different missions.”

Saber Interactive’s Pedigree

Saber Interactive brings proven experience creating thrilling action games. The studio developed 2024’s blockbuster Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, which sold over seven million units in its first year and earned Best Action Game and Best Multiplayer nominations at The Game Awards.

Space Marine 2’s success demonstrates Saber’s ability to translate visceral action into satisfying gameplay—crucial for capturing John Wick’s distinctive combat style.
