Lionsgate has confirmed that a AAA John Wick video game is currently in production, making it the franchise’s most ambitious move into gaming so far. The announcement came during a recent Lionsgate earnings call, where Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson shared that multiple high-budget game projects are in development, with John Wick positioned as a priority. According to the studio, a reveal is expected soon, suggesting fans may not have to wait long to see what the project looks like.
The John Wick franchise has long felt like a natural fit for a large-scale action game. The films are known for tightly choreographed combat, stylish environments, and a deep criminal underworld that extends far beyond what appears on screen. While the series previously received a video game adaptation with John Wick Hex, that title leaned into strategy rather than real-time action. Many fans viewed it as an interesting concept, but not the full cinematic experience they were hoping for.
This upcoming project appears to be far more ambitious. Lionsgate has described the game as a AAA production, placing it in the same category as major blockbuster releases from top studios. While specific gameplay details have not been shared, the AAA label suggests a focus on high production values, advanced visuals, and expansive design. Industry reports indicate the game is still early in development, and no developer has been publicly announced at this time.
Lionsgate’s expansion into gaming follows a pattern seen across film and entertainment studios. Major entertainment companies are increasingly investing in video games as a way to extend their brands and reach new audiences. For John Wick, this approach makes sense. The franchise continues to expand through new films and spinoffs, and a game would give fans a more interactive way to experience its world.
Speculation around the game is already building. Some fans hope for a third-person action format that mirrors the films’ gun-focused combat and close-quarters encounters. Others are curious whether the game will tell an original story or adapt moments from the movies. Until the official reveal happens, those questions remain unanswered.
What is clear is that this project is a major step for the John Wick universe. A well-executed AAA game could give players the chance to experience the intensity and style of the films firsthand, while also expanding the lore in new directions. With Lionsgate signaling that news is coming soon, anticipation continues to rise among both gamers and longtime fans of the franchise.
