Development of this ambitious project was entrusted to Saber Interactive, the studio known for works like Space Marine 2 and World War Z.
This game project is not just a typical adaptation, but the result of a close collaboration between Saber Interactive, Lionsgate, the film studio behind John Wick, the film's director Chad Stahelski, and lead actor Keanu Reeves.
Keanu Reeves himself is confirmed to be bringing the character of John Wick, contributing his appearance, voice, and various other elements.

'Untitled John Wick Game' Details
Despite being officially announced, the game still lacks a final title and is tentatively referred to as the "Untitled John Wick Game."
The game will be a single-player, third-person action game, a format that allows players to fully immerse themselves in John Wick's perspective.
Targeted platforms include next-generation consoles like PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, as well as PC.
The game's narrative will be an original story set "years before Task: Impossible" in the John Wick timeline.
Gameplay and Immersive Experience
At the heart of the John Wick gaming experience is the unmatched, adrenaline-fueled "gun-fu" fighting style that has become the hallmark of the films.
Saber Interactive specifically developed a distinct combat system from scratch, ensuring credibility and authenticity to John Wick's iconic style.
Signature elements from the John Wick films will be deeply integrated into the game, including the unique use of camerawork that creates a strong cinematic feel.
Bold cinematic environments, intense driving experiences, and the signature "gun-fu" action will be key pillars of the gameplay design. Every aspect is designed to reflect the aesthetics and intensity of the films.
The game's reveal trailer showcased footage of John Wick shooting, punching, and stabbing enemies with ease, accompanied by a monologue from a tailor explaining the importance of smooth movement.
Creative Collaboration with the Film Team
The direct involvement of John Wick director Chad Stahelski and lead actor Keanu Reeves in the game's development is a guarantee of quality.
Jesus Iglesias, Game Director at Saber Interactive, specifically confirmed that the creative team behind the film franchise will be heavily involved in every stage of the game's development.
This involvement includes consultation on story, character design, and gameplay mechanics, ensuring the game truly feels like part of the John Wick universe.
The goal of this intensive collaboration is to produce a highly anticipated and adrenaline-filled gaming experience that fully lives up to the high standards of the John Wick universe.
The game is intended for an adult audience, due to the violence and mature themes of the original film.
