Sony has announced that a new AAA video game based on the John Wick franchise is in development for PlayStation 5, with production being led by Saber Interactive in collaboration with key figures behind the films.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The update was shared in a recent post on the official PlayStation Blog, where the studio outlined its plans for an original story set within the established John Wick timeline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Saber Interactive<\/a> said it is working alongside director Chad Stahelski, actor Keanu Reeves, and production company Lionsgate to ensure the game aligns with the tone and continuity of the films.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n According to the studio, the project will explore a specific period in John Wick\u2019s life and add new narrative details to the wider universe. The story is being created jointly by the game\u2019s writers and the film\u2019s creative team, and will include both familiar characters and newly introduced figures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Rather than adapting an existing film, the game will feature a standalone storyline designed specifically for interactive play. Saber said the narrative will address a significant chapter in Wick\u2019s past while remaining consistent with established lore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This approach is intended to expand the series without retelling events already shown on screen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The developer indicated that signature elements from the films will be translated into gameplay, including stylised camerawork, bold neo-noir settings, close-quarters combat and vehicle sequences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Combat is being built around a bespoke system developed from scratch, with an emphasis on the franchise\u2019s distinctive \u201cgun-fu\u201d fighting style.<\/a> The aim is to replicate the rhythm and intensity associated with the character\u2019s action scenes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nOriginal story within the franchise timeline<\/h2>\n
