Fans of the relentless action-packed John Wick franchise have long clamored for a proper video game adaptation that captures the essence of its balletic gun-fu and shadowy underworld intrigue. That dream edged closer to reality on February 12, 2026, when Lionsgate and Saber Interactive unveiled the first cinematic trailer for an untitled John Wick game during Sony’s State of Play showcase.
The reveal, featuring stylish sequences of John Wick dismantling foes with pistols, fists, and improvised weapons amid neon-drenched urban chaos, ended with franchise director Chad Stahelski himself teasing more to come. This isn’t a mere licensed tie-in; it’s a AAA single-player third-person action title crafted to immerse players as the Baba Yaga himself.
Spearheading development is Saber Interactive, the studio behind recent hits like the brutal Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (over seven million sold copies in its first year) and the zombie horde epic World War Z. Lionsgate, the powerhouse behind the billion-dollar John Wick film series, serves as the overarching publisher, with Saber handling digital distribution.
Game director Jesus Iglesias, speaking on the PlayStation Blog, emphasized the team’s reverence for the source material: “We are working closely with Chad Stahelski, Keanu Reeves, and Lionsgate to produce a highly anticipated, adrenaline-fueled experience that fits into the world of John Wick.”
Keanu Reeves is deeply involved, reprising his role with full likeness, voice acting, and motion capture to ensure John Wick feels authentically alive on screen. Chad Stahelski, the visionary director of all four films, is overseeing production, including story collaboration and performance elements, guaranteeing fidelity to the franchise’s lore. No other actors from the movies have been announced yet, though the game promises familiar faces alongside new characters tailored for this interactive chapter.
Set years before Wick’s legendary Impossible Task, the game delves into the High Table’s underworld during a pivotal era, weaving an original narrative that expands the series’ intricate mythology. Players will navigate neo-noir environments rich with iconic details, from opulent Continental hotels to gritty back alleys, all brought to life with jaw-dropping cinematic camerawork and high-stakes driving sequences. At its core is a bespoke gun-fu combat system, blending seamless gunplay, melee takedowns, and environmental improvisation to replicate the films’ fluid, unrelenting action. As Iglesias put it, “Our goal is to create a wholly immersive experience unlike any other in video games. Something that blurs the line between movies and video games.”
Saber CEO Matthew Karch captured the excitement surrounding this partnership: “John Wick is one of the most iconic characters in action film history. Saber is honored 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.” The game is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC and is already available for wishlisting. While no release date has been set beyond “coming soon,” the hype is palpable, positioning this as the definitive John Wick gaming experience fans have awaited.
