Saber Interactive and Lionsgate Unveil Long-Awaited *John Wick* AAA Game at Sony’s State of Play

Saber Interactive and Lionsgate have officially announced a new AAA action game based on the John Wick* franchise, marking the first major video game adaptation of the billion-dollar film series. The project was revealed during Sony’s State of Play showcase, with the game set to deliver a single-player third-person experience that emphasizes the franchise’s signature gun-fu combat, immersive world-building, and cinematic storytelling.

The Game’s Core Promise

The Untitled John Wick Game—as it’s currently known—will drop players into a new narrative set years before the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum’s Impossible Task. Players will explore The High Table, a familiar yet expanded corner of the franchise’s lore, encountering both beloved characters and new additions crafted specifically for the game. Saber Interactive, known for titles like Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 and World War Z, will handle development, ensuring a polished, high-octane experience that stays true to the films’ tone.

Key features include

• A refined gun-fu combat system, with fluid animations and hard-hitting interactions.
• Cinematic camerawork and driving sequences, mirroring the franchise’s signature action.
• A richly detailed world, blending the gritty realism of the films with immersive environmental storytelling.
• Multiplatform support for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

The game’s creative team includes director Chad Stahelski and star Keanu Reeves, who will reprise John Wick’s voice and likeness, ensuring authenticity in both performance and design. Lionsgate’s Jenefer Brown emphasized the collaboration’s focus on capturing the franchise’s defining elements—action, choreography, and world-building—while Saber’s Matthew Karch highlighted the studio’s commitment to delivering an experience worthy of the John Wick legacy.

What Fans Can Expect—and What’s Still Unknown

The game’s trailer promises a visceral, cinematic experience, but several questions remain unanswered. While the core combat and narrative structure have been outlined, details on multiplayer, DLC plans, or a definitive release window are absent. Saber Interactive’s track record suggests a high-quality product, but the scale of adapting a film franchise into a game—especially one as iconic as John Wick—poses challenges in balancing cinematic flair with interactive gameplay.

For context, Saber’s recent successes include Space Marine 2, which sold over seven million copies in its first year, and World War Z, which attracted over 30 million players. However, adapting a beloved IP like John Wick requires precision to avoid disappointing fans who have grown accustomed to the franchise’s uncompromising standards.

Wishing lists for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC are now open, giving players an early opportunity to secure their spot in the game’s development journey.
