A John Wick motion recreation is within the works at Saber Interactive. Revealed throughout Sony’s February State of Play presentation, the sport, recognized solely as Untitled John Wick Recreation, appears like an try and do for John Wick what Indiana Jones and the Nice Circle has finished for our favourite Nazi-punching grave robber.
The reveal trailer begins with two guys in a tailor store, which briefly gave me hope that some enlightened studio someplace determined to make an motion recreation out of the film The Outfit. Although that extremely particular dream has been thwarted, I don’t thoughts what’s taken its place. The John Wick universe is ripe for online game adaptation and I’m stunned we didn’t get one thing like this sooner. There was John Wick Hex, a tactical RPG that was great in its own right, however the one-man wrecking crew that’s Mr. Wick begs for the Hitman remedy and it appears like that’s what Saber is giving him. The trailer is appropriately ugly, that includes a number of pictures of John simply stabbing a man within the face and one other second during which he makes use of the instruments round him and beats a man with a cast-iron pan. In keeping with the sport’s description, the story takes place years earlier than Wick’s “Impossible Task” mission that he needed to full in an effort to go away the murderer’s life for good. The outline additionally guarantees new appears into the movie sequence’ goofy-ass lore which shall be an actual deal with contemplating that’s among the finest stuff within the franchise.
John Wick‘s creators have been trying to squeeze a bit more out of the series. Ballerina, the spinoff movie starring Ana de Armas, released last year to decent reviews, and in 2023 Peacock produced The Continental, a miniseries centered on the movie’s fancy murderer lodge. There’s additionally a fifth John Wick film within the works with Keanu Reeves set to reprise the titular function. With him additionally starring on this recreation, Keanu might be going to be very busy with John Wick for the foreseeable future.
