Explosive Action: Upcoming John Wick Video Game with Big Budget
Get ready to step into the shoes of the ultimate assassin as a John Wick video game is in the works Lionsgate has confirmed that the game is currently in early development, giving fans of the franchise something to look forward to
A Lionsgate executive has confirmed that a video game inspired by the action-packed John Wick franchise is currently in its early stages of development. The first film, which marked Keanu Reeves' comeback, was praised for its gripping action sequences, thrilling ambiance, and neo-noir elements. The franchise has since expanded with a series of sequels, including the recent release of the fourth installment earlier this year. With critical and commercial success, Lionsgate is determined to take the franchise beyond just films.
The John Wick universe is set to expand through various spinoff media, including TV shows, films, and video games. The Continental TV series will delve deeper into the franchise's universe, while Ballerina, a spin-off movie, will follow the story of a retired ballerina assassin, using the lore established in the third film. Alongside these projects, a video game based on the franchise is also in its early development phase.
During a recent Lionsgate earnings call, Joe Drake, the Motion Picture Group chairman, confirmed that a fifth John Wick film is currently in early development, along with the potential for a regular series of spin-offs. Lionsgate is considering expanding into the AAA video game space, in addition to the planned TV spin-offs. Although there were no specific details released about the potential game, Drake primarily focused on the studio's upcoming slate of TV shows and films within the John Wick universe.
The John Wick franchise has exciting things in store for fans, with Ballerina set to release next year and three other projects currently in production. These include John Wick 5 and The Continental, which will serve as spin-offs leading up to the fifth film. The producer promises a consistent flow of John Wick content in the future. While it's unclear if the third project is a video game, it's a possibility that fans eagerly anticipate. John Wick has dabbled in the video game realm before, but fans hope for a game that truly captures the fast-paced action seen in the films. Until an official announcement is made, fans will have to wait patiently for news.
John Wick is in development.
