Lionsgate has officially pulled the trigger on one of the most anticipated adaptations in action gaming. During Sony’s State of Play showcase on February 12, 2026, a brand-new AAA video game set in the billion-dollar John Wick franchise was officially announced.
The untitled project is a mature-rated, single-player third-person action game in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Designed to immerse players fully in the lethal elegance of the Baba Yaga, the game promises a cinematic experience that captures the franchise’s signature “gun-fu” combat style with uncompromising intensity.
Become the Baba Yaga
At the heart of the experience is complete embodiment of John Wick himself. Franchise director and series star are directly involved in the project’s production. Reeves will reprise his role, lending not only his likeness but also his voice and performance to the game.
Set years before the “Impossible Task,” the narrative expands the established timeline with an original story. Players will explore the shadowy power structures of the High Table while encountering both familiar characters and new faces created exclusively for this installment. The game aims to deepen the lore while maintaining continuity with the cinematic universe.
Authentic Gun-Fu Combat and Cinematic Design
Saber Interactive has built its reputation on delivering technically robust and viscerally satisfying action systems. Their design philosophy for the untitled John Wick game focuses on:
- Hard-hitting, choreography-driven gun-fu combat
- Dynamic, film-inspired camerawork
- Intense driving sequences
- Atmospheric, globally diverse environments
- Narrative-driven, cinematic progression
The objective is clear: make players feel as though they are inside a John Wick film rather than merely playing a licensed adaptation.
Saber’s pedigree supports that ambition. The studio’s 2024 hit sold more than seven million units in its first year and earned major award nominations. The developer is also known for titles such as and the upcoming , demonstrating experience with both original IP and high-profile licensed properties.
Expanding the John Wick Universe
The John Wick universe has evolved far beyond its 2014 debut. Four films have collectively grossed over $1 billion worldwide, while the Peacock series expanded the mythology further. The upcoming film , starring , and additional projects centered around Caine and the post–Chapter 4 timeline continue to grow the franchise’s narrative footprint.
This new game marks the most ambitious interactive adaptation of the property to date, positioning itself as the definitive gaming interpretation of the series’ stylized brutality and operatic world-building.
A True AAA Collaboration
According to Lionsgate’s President of Global Products & Experiences, Jenefer Brown, the partnership is a close collaboration designed to preserve authenticity across choreography, tone, and world-building. Saber Interactive CEO Matthew Karch emphasized the studio’s commitment to honoring one of modern action cinema’s most iconic characters.
Wishlist availability is now live for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms, with further development updates expected in the months ahead.
For fans who have long wanted to step into the tailored suit of the Baba Yaga, this announcement signals more than a licensed tie-in. It represents a fully realized AAA production built to deliver the hard-hitting, cinematic precision that defines John Wick.
Management is here to serve.
