John Wick is looking to expand its fan base with a high-budget game. The rumors that emerged last year were recently confirmed by the production company. Joe Drake, the CEO of Lionsgate, announced that along with John Wick 5, a new game will also be released.
John Wick 5 and the game will be announced simultaneously.
The John Wick series, which has been appealing to more and more people with each new film, is finally entering the world of gaming. Lionsgate stated that they are currently in talks with various studios and evaluating offers, emphasizing that they want a game worthy of John Wick 5.
We know that many action productions have been adapted into games before. However, none of these adaptations have managed to receive high ratings from players. The John Wick game, on the other hand, will be developed as a high-budget project, breaking away from the conventional style.
Actually, this game won’t be the first adaptation of John Wick. Previously, a puzzle game called John Wick Hex and a few VR productions were released. However, Lionsgate’s goal is to turn the series into a cult production for the gaming industry.
The producer aims to partner with AAA game development studios and promises an action-packed gaming experience that befits the John Wick films. This suggests intense combat scenes, strategic planning, and highly detailed assassinations.
John Wick 5 and a game adaptation is exciting. However, it should be noted that no official release date has been shared yet. Considering that John Wick 4 was released in March, the new film and game may be unveiled within a few years.
