Lionsgate and Saber Interactive bring Baba Yaga to consoles
Summary
– A AAA John Wick game is in development for PS5
– Keanu Reeves reprises his role in a canon storyline
– Gameplay blends brutal combat, gun-fu, and driving sequences
A big-budget John Wick video game is officially on the way, and Keanu Reeves is stepping back into the role of the legendary assassin.
The untitled project was revealed during the February 12, 2026, State of Play presentation. While no release date or launch window was provided, the announcement confirmed the game is currently in active development and remains early in production.
Lionsgate is backing the project alongside Saber Interactive. The title is confirmed for PlayStation 5, though additional platforms have not yet been detailed. Since Saber is not a first-party Sony studio, more platform news could surface later.
Story details reveal the game is being developed in close collaboration with franchise director Chad Stahelski and Reeves himself. The narrative is canon and will fit directly into the established timeline of the films. Developers describe it as an original story that explores a significant chapter in John Wick’s life, featuring both familiar faces and new characters.
Gameplay footage showcased intense close-quarters combat and heavy emphasis on gun-fu. Wick uses the environment to his advantage, grabbing nearby objects and weapons to survive encounters. Developers also teased high-speed driving segments, expanding the action beyond hand-to-hand and firearms combat.
The team’s ambition is clear: deliver a cinematic experience that feels like stepping into a film. The goal is to blur the line between movie and game while keeping everything fully playable.
