According to a statement made by Joe Drake, president of Lionsgate\u2019s Motion Picture Group during the company\u2019s recent earnings call, a AAA game based on the John Wick franchise has been greenlit. Last year, Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer also commented on the possibility of a big video game adaptation of the series. \u201cI don\u2019t want to get ahead of myself here, but we believe there is a big AAA game to be made out of John Wick. Feltheimer said, \u201cWe have been fielding proposals.\u201d A video game adaptation of the series John Wick Hex, first launched in October 2019 for PC via the Epic Games Store, and in May 2020 for PlayStation 4.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regarding the game, Drake said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\u201cWe\u2019re now moving across that franchise, not just in the AAA video game space, but looking at what the regular cadence of spin-offs, television really growing that universe so that there is a steady cadence of a franchise that there\u2019s clear appetite by the audience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

John Wick Hex details via Good Shepherd Entertainment:<\/span><\/p>\n
John Wick Hex is a fast-paced, action-oriented strategy game that makes you think and strike like John Wick, the professional hitman of the critically acclaimed film franchise. Created in close cooperation with the creative teams behind the films, John Wick Hex is fight-choreographed chess brought to life as a video game, capturing the series\u2019 signature gun fu style while expanding its story universe. Players must make quick decisions and choose every action and attack they make, all the while considering their immediate cost and consequences.<\/span><\/p>\n
Featuring a unique blend of strategic time-based action, John Wick Hex captures the feel of the tactical combat from the films and blurs the line between the strategy and action video game genres. Perform well and progress in the main story mode to unlock new weapons, suit options and locations. Each weapon changes up the tactics you\u2019ll use and the manner in which you\u2019ll play. Ammo is finite and realistically simulated, so time your reloads and make the most of weapons you scavenge on the job.<\/span><\/p>\n
Experience an original new story set prior to the events of the films which sees John on a desperate mission to rescue Winston and Charon from a dangerous new adversary seeking his birthright. This story is brought to life by the world class voice talents of Ian McShane and Lance Reddick, reprising their iconic roles from the films, and voice acting legend Troy Baker, joining the stellar cast as the game\u2019s eponymous villain \u201cHex.\u201d John Wick Hex compliments the style of the films with a unique graphic noir art design and an original score by renowned composer Austin Wintory.<\/span><\/p>\n
