Lionsgate and Saber Interactive have surprisingly unveiled a new AAA video game based on the famous John Wick film franchise, without announcing a definitive title or release period for now.

The project has been described as a third-person single-player action game, designed for a mature audience and entrusted to the skilled hands of Saber Interactive, the same team that recently convinced critics and audiences with the brutal Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (capable of selling over seven million copies in its first year) and which also worked on World War Z.

One of the most interesting features of this production is the direct involvement of key figures from the films: Keanu Reeves will reprise the role of John Wick lending voice and features to the character, while the director of the franchise Chad Stahelski will actively collaborate in the creation of the game to ensure the authenticity of the action.

On the narrative front, the title will take us back in time: the story will in fact be a prequel set several years before the famous "Mission Impossible". This setting will allow us to explore the universe of the High Table in an unprecedented period, interacting both with characters already loved by fans and with new figures introduced specifically for this adventure.

As for the gameplay, the goal of the developers is to make us play the role of the Baba Yaga by replicating the adrenaline-pumping feeling of the films. We will be able to use the famous "gun-fu" fighting style, characterized by close-quarters firefights and spectacular choreography, but the game will also include intense driving sections and a narrative with a strong cinematic cut.

A launch window has not yet been announced; Waiting to find out more, we leave you to the announcement trailer.
