Over the last decade, perhaps no American action franchise has been as beloved, influential, and well-received as the John Wick franchise. The series, which stars Keanu Reeves as a retired assassin brought back into the fray by the poor decision-making of a group of Soviet gangsters, has already been successful enough to warrant four films in the mainline series and a separate spin-off, Ballerina, with a fifth entry in development and coming soon. The sprawling world of competitive assassins and secret societies has grown much bigger than it was when a group of unlucky criminals executed the worst call on Earth and murdered a dog, and now it’s about to get even bigger in a few months.
There’s a new John Wick video game coming to fans from the developers at Saber Interactive, a third-person shooter/action title that aims to immerse players in the shoes of the deadliest assassin to ever work for the High Table. While details are scarce at the moment, a recent interview with Saber’s Chief Creative Officer might shed a few details on how the game will help sketch out some of the mysterious details behind Wick’s early days as an elite assassin.
