by Mike Wilson · Bloody DisgustingSaber Interactive is at it again with movie licenses, this time teaming up with Lionsgate for the previously-rumoured John Wick video game that was revealed during the Sony State of Play yesterday. Currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC, the as-yet-untitled new single-player third-person action game will have John Wick franchise director Chad Stahelski and star Keanu Reeves involved in the game’s production, with Reeves signed on to reprise his iconic character’s look, voice and more.
“I can’t wait for fans to step into the shoes of John Wick and explore the multi-dimensional world of The High Table,” stated Jenefer Brown, President of Global Products & Experiences at Lionsgate. “We are collaborating closely with Saber’s dedicated team to develop a game that captures the unparalleled action, brand-defining fight choreography, immersive world-building, and authenticity of the films.”
“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,” said Saber Interactive CEO Matthew Karch.
The game will feature an original gameplay narrative set in the John Wick timeline years before the Impossible Task. It will expand on the franchise’s lore during that time with familiar characters fans already know and love, as well as compelling new ones created specifically for this production.
