Hello PlayStation community! Everyone here at Saber is very excited because we can finally share our next big project with you. And ‘yeah’, it’s a John Wick AAA game! Stay tuned for the game’s official title and release date; we’ll reveal both in time as well as more details about the story and setting.
We are working closely with Chad Stahelski (John Wick director and franchise visionary), Keanu Reeves, and Lionsgate to produce a highly anticipated, adrenaline-fueled experience that fits into the world of John Wick. This game takes place during a specific period within the John Wick timeline and contributes to the expansive and rich lore of the franchise.
Like many of you, we are huge John Wick fans, and having the opportunity to bring one of the most captivating and successful action franchises to life on PlayStation is a rewarding experience for us.
The story is being created in collaboration with our writers, Chad Stahelski, and Lionsgate. It is an original gameplay narrative that addresses a significant time in John Wick’s life, featuring well-known and iconic characters, as well as compelling new characters specifically created for this production.
There are signature elements from the John Wick movies that are also present in the game, incorporated to enhance the overall interactive experience. Things like the unique use of camerawork; the notable bold and cinematic environments; and of course, the extremely distinctive gun-fu action and intense driving experiences.
All of this is going to be fundamental to what this untitled John Wick game offers PlayStation 5 gamers. Our goal is to create a wholly immersive experience unlike any other in video games. Something that blurs the line between movies and video games, making it something truly special. We are creating new, high-stakes, fully interactive mechanics that make players feel like they are in a John Wick movie, by playing the role of the Baba Yaga himself.
The style of fighting will feel like an authentic John Wick action scene taken straight from the films. Everything is designed to faithfully mimic the movie experience in a meaningful, fully playable way. In order to achieve that, we are developing a distinct combat system from the ground up to ensure we stay credible to the iconic style of John Wick.
We are creating rich, neo-noir environments that will also contribute in a major way to creating a thrilling experience. John Wick is about the fine details and iconography present throughout various locations and environments that players can visit during the course of different missions.
Although difficult to summarize everything we are doing to make this John Wick game a truly exceptional experience, we hope you can envision more of it with this message that we are glad to share with you.
We are really looking forward to the moment when you can play the John Wick game on PlayStation 5!
