John Wick’s world is about to become a little larger as John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum gets ready to crash into theaters on May 17th.
In addition to a new Starz series based on the John Wick films called The Continental, with Keanu Reeves serving as an executive producer, now comes news that a much-needed John Wick video game is on the horizon.
The game will be called John Wick Hex and its publisher Good Shepard Entertainment says it will be “a fast-paced, action-oriented strategy game that makes you think and strike like the professional hitman.”
Created in close cooperation with the creative teams behind the films, John Wick Hex is fight-choreographed chess brought to life as a video game, capturing the series’ signature gun fu style while expanding its story universe. Players must choose every action and attack they make, while considering their immediate cost and consequences. Every move in John Wick Hex feels like a scene from the movies, and every fight contributes to your progress on the job and requires precise strategic thinking.
Perform well and progress in the main story mode (which features an original story created for the game) to unlock new weapons, suit options and locations. Each weapon changes up the tactics you’ll use and the manner in which you’ll play. Ammo is finite and realistically simulated, so time your reloads and make the most of weapons you scavenge on the job.
John Wick Hex complements the style of the films with a unique graphic noir art design and features the world class voice talents of Ian McShane [Winston] and Lance Reddick [Charon] amongst its stellar cast, with more to be revealed later.

No official release date has been announced yet, but so far we do know that John Wick Hex will be released first for Mac and Windows PC through the Epic Games Store, with a console launch hopefully to shortly follow.
