Saber Interactive Confirms AAA 'John Wick' Game With Keanu Reeves
The ‘Space Marine 2’ developers are teaming up with Lionsgate and Chad Stahelski for a prequel to the hit film franchise.
Summary
- Lionsgate and Saber Interactive officially announced a AAA John Wick video game during Sony’s State of Play
- Keanu Reeves will reprise his role as the Baba Yaga, providing both voice acting and likeness for the project
- The game features an original prequel narrative set before the films’ Impossible Task, focusing on “gun-fu” combat and cinematic action
The Baba Yaga is officially making his AAA console debut. During the latest State of Play, Lionsgate and Saber Interactive — the studio behind the recent hit Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 — confirmed the development of a high-budget John Wick action game. While rumors of a major adaptation have circulated for years, this announcement cements the project with heavyweight backing, confirming that Keanu Reeves is deeply involved in bringing the iconic assassin to the interactive medium.
According to the announcement, the untitled project is being built as a dedicated single-player, third-person action experience. Saber Interactive is collaborating directly with franchise director Chad Stahelski to ensure the gameplay mechanics faithfully translate the series’ signature “gun-fu” combat. The studio promises a system that integrates “intense driving experiences” and “cinematic camerawork” designed to blur the line between film and gameplay.
Narratively, the game will not retread the movies. Instead, it offers a canon prequel story set prior to the “Impossible Task”—the legendary mission that originally allowed Wick to retire from the High Table. This timeline allows the developers to explore the criminal underworld at the height of Wick’s prime. Alongside familiar faces from the lore, the game will introduce a new cast of characters tailored specifically for this release.
The title is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. No official release date or pricing has been set. The game is currently available to wishlist on digital storefronts.
