here are video game announcements, and then there are moments where the room shifts. When John Wick shows up at PlayStation’s State of Play, you pay attention. The billion-dollar franchise is officially becoming a full-scale AAA single-player game for PlayStation 5, developed by Saber Interactive in collaboration with Lionsgate. And yes, Keanu Reeves is involved. Voice, likeness, the whole deal.
This isn’t a loose adaptation or a quick spin-off. The untitled game drops players into a new chapter within the John Wick timeline, set before the Impossible Task. It’s an original story, built with input from director Chad Stahelski, and it promises to expand the lore of the High Table with both familiar faces and new characters. That matters. The Wick universe runs on rules, codes, and consequences. Get those wrong, and the whole thing falls apart.
Saber says the focus is authenticity. That means “gun-fu” combat designed from the ground up. Tight, cinematic camerawork. Intense driving. Neo-noir environments loaded with detail. The goal isn’t just to make a shooter with a famous name on the box. It’s to blur the line between movie and game, so when you step into the suit, you feel like you’re in a John Wick scene. Controlled chaos. Precision. No wasted movement.
The franchise has already expanded beyond four films into television with The Continental, and more movies are on the way. But this is different. This is interactive. It hands you the rules of the underworld and says, “Management is here to serve.” No release date yet, but one thing’s clear. The Baba Yaga isn’t done. Not on screen. Not on console.
