John Wick’s Next Adventure Hits PC and Consoles Simultaneously — Here’s What We Know

Fans of the legendary assassin have reason to celebrate. Saber Interactive, the studio behind Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, is developing the next John Wick game — and it’s coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series consoles simultaneously.

Originally, early reports suggested the game would be a PlayStation 5 exclusive, largely due to trailer messaging and the absence of PC storefront pages. However, a press release from Saber Interactive clarified that PC and Xbox gamers are in for the same first-day excitement.

First Look at the Action

The debut trailer, showcased during Sony’s State of Play, offers a cinematic glimpse at our titular assassin gearing up in a bulletproof suit. Fans will also catch screen-accurate John Wick-style jiu-jitsu takedowns, emphasizing the series’ trademark choreography. While most of the trailer plays in cutscene mode, the final 20 seconds switch to fully in-engine graphics, clearly marked “Captured on PS5.”

Even more thrilling, Keanu Reeves is returning not just in likeness and voice, but potentially through full performance capture, bringing his unique combat style to life. Chad Stahelski, series creator and Reeves’ stunt double in The Matrix, is also heavily involved, promising authenticity in both action and storytelling.

Gameplay Highlights

The YouTube trailer description gives fans a taste of what’s coming:

  • Gun Fu Combat System: Fast-paced, cinematic shooting combined with martial arts.
  • Immersive Camerawork: Dynamic angles to enhance the cinematic feel.
  • Driving Experiences: High-octane car sequences faithful to the films.
  • Diverse Environments: From dark alleyways to sleek urban settings.

Unlike John Wick Hex, the new game is a fully real-time action experience, focusing on fluid combat and explosive set pieces rather than turn-based strategy. While a release date is still under wraps, the simultaneous multi-platform launch ensures fans on all systems won’t miss out.

What This Means for Fans

For gamers who’ve been waiting to step into Wick’s world outside of consoles, the news is huge: PC players finally get day-one access alongside PlayStation and Xbox audiences. With Keanu Reeves’ involvement and Saber Interactive’s commitment to authenticity, the title promises to capture the gritty, high-stakes action the franchise is known for.
