AAA John Wick Action Game Officially Announced for PlayStation 5
BERLIN, 13 February 2026 — The legendary “Baba Yaga” is finally making his way to current-generation consoles in a high-budget format. During the Sony State of Play broadcast held yesterday, 12 February 2026, Lionsgate and Saber Interactive officially unveiled a new, untitled AAA action game based on the John Wick franchise. This announcement marks a significant shift for the series, moving from the tactical indie roots of previous adaptations toward a high-fidelity, brutal action experience designed for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Saber Interactive and Chad Stahelski Collaborate
The project is being developed by Saber Interactive in close collaboration with Lionsgate. Crucially for fans of the films, franchise director Chad Stahelski is involved in the production to ensure the game’s “gun-fu” combat maintains the cinematic standard of the movies. According to the reveal, the game will feature an original script, allowing players to experience a new chapter in the life of the world’s most feared assassin.
Key Details from the State of Play Reveal
- Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
- Developer: Saber Interactive.
- Talent: Keanu Reeves is confirmed to reprise his role, providing both likeness and voice work.
- Combat: The trailer showcased a mix of fast-paced shooting, stylish hand-to-hand takedowns, and environmental interactions.
Moving Beyond John Wick Hex
While this is the first AAA action title for the franchise, it is not the first time the character has appeared in gaming. In 2019, Bithell Games released John Wick Hex, a timeline-based strategy game that focused on the “chess-like” planning of a professional hitman. While Hex was praised for its unique approach to the IP, fans have long demanded a real-time, visceral action game that mirrors the intensity of the films’ choreography. The new project from Saber Interactive appears to be the direct answer to those requests.

Release Window and Development Status
Despite the excitement surrounding the debut trailer, Saber Interactive has not yet provided a specific release date. The game is currently listed as “in development,” with wishlists opening on the PlayStation Store and other digital platforms following the 12 February announcement. Industry analysts suggest that given the scale of a AAA project involving Lionsgate and major film talent, a late 2027 or 2028 release is most probable.
