John Wick PS5 game announced & Keanu Reeves reprises his role

by

A major John Wick video game, with a large development budget, is currently being made, and Keanu Reeves will return to play the famous character. Here’s a rundown of what we know so far, including story hints and a first glimpse at how the game will play.

It’s been twelve years since the first Baba Yaga movie came out and gained a following. The John Wick series has grown a lot since then, expanding into several sequels, TV shows, spin-off movies, and even a video game.

Despite many attempts, no video game has truly captured the feeling of a big-budget action blockbuster. While 2019’s John Wick: Hex was a solid game, its tactical, top-down style didn’t deliver the same fast-paced excitement as the movies.

A major John Wick game is officially in development for the PlayStation 5, and we’ve just gotten a sneak peek at what it will be like.

Is there a release date for the John Wick PS5 game?

We don’t know when the John Wick game will be released. While we saw a first glimpse of it on February 12, 2026, there was no indication of when it might actually come out, not even an estimated timeframe.

We first learned about a potential John Wick game in early 2026 when Lionsgate announced plans for high-quality games based on both the John Wick and Saw franchises. This suggests the game is still in the early stages of development.

It doesn’t seem like the John Wick game will be released very soon. A more realistic expectation would be sometime in 2027 or 2028.

What platforms will the John Wick game be on?

Thus far, the John Wick game is only confirmed for the PS5. No other platforms have been announced.

Since the game is being developed by Saber Interactive, and not directly by Sony, we expect to hear soon whether it will be available on other systems. A release on Xbox Series X|S and PC is possible, but it doesn’t seem likely to run on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

Story details: Where does it fit in the John Wick timeline?

The new John Wick game is being developed with strong input from the series’ creator and director, Chad Stahelski, and Keanu Reeves, confirmed Game Director Jesus Iglesias.

This story is officially part of the established continuity and happens within the timeline created by the movies. While its precise placement in that timeline is still unknown, the game aims to add to the franchise’s detailed and extensive backstory.

This story offers a fresh look at a pivotal moment in John Wick’s past, bringing back familiar faces and introducing some exciting new ones.

We’re definitely anticipating seeing familiar faces like Winston and the Bowery King, but it’s unclear how any new characters will fit into the story.

Gameplay details

Mincing no words, developers have been clear this is a “AAA John Wick game.”

The initial gameplay footage shows a lot of fast-paced, close-quarters fighting with weapons. John Wick can also use anything nearby – like silverware or dropped guns – to help him in a fight, making the environment a key part of the combat.

The game won’t just be about combat; it’s also promising exciting driving sections, though we haven’t seen those in action yet.

Developers have been focusing on creating a seamless blend of movies and games. They want players to feel like they’re truly experiencing the film, but in an interactive and engaging way.

Trailers

The new John Wick game was revealed at the February 12, 2026 State of Play event. We saw a first glimpse of the gameplay and learned that Keanu Reeves will once again voice the main character.

That’s all the information we have about the new John Wick game right now. We’ll share more details as soon as we get them.
