Throughout the first 2026 State of Play, Saber Interactive introduced a brand new John Wick recreation, at the moment with out a correct title. It’s purported to be a trustworthy adaptation of the John Wick universe and lore that’ll put gamers accountable for the person himself, participating in what the devs name “gun fu fight.”

Whereas we solely obtained a quick trailer, no title, and really slim data besides, there are nonetheless grounds for hypothesis. So, right here’s every little thing we all know up to now in regards to the upcoming John Wick recreation.

Untitled John Wick Recreation: Every thing we all know

On Feb. 12, throughout Sony’s first State of Play of 2026, Saber Interactive gave us a cinematic trailer displaying its in-development John Wick title, in addition to a quick gameplay snippet on the very finish. John Wick, performed by Keanu Reeves, does within the trailer what he does finest: fights everybody he encounters in quite a lot of methods, using any weapon or martial artwork that any given second gives.

In that final little bit of gameplay, we are able to see what Saber describes as “a definite gun fu fight system” the place we’re seemingly going to have the ability to make the most of the setting to our benefit, grabbing forks from counters, smashing gangsters via automotive home windows, or in any other case breaking their limbs and capturing them at point-blank vary. It appears to be as dynamic as the films are, wherein John Wick typically acts on a whim through the use of his quick setting to his benefit.

The brand new recreation is a collaborative mission developed by Saber in cooperation with Lionsgate and the director of the John Wick movies, Chad Stahelski.

The story goes to be an “authentic gameplay narrative set within the John Wick timeline years earlier than the Inconceivable Activity.” This might relate to the primary Inconceivable Activity Wick needed to full previous to retiring and dwelling a lifetime of peace we noticed within the first movie within the sequence, doubtlessly giving us a glimpse right into a youthful, way more brutal, and professionally inclined model of the character who’s but to be met with all types of tragedies that kickstart the movie franchise.

The title will characteristic “a hard-hitting gun-fu fight system, jaw-dropping camerawork, intense driving experiences, cinematic storytelling, and a daring vary of atmospherically immersive environments, all crafted to make gamers really feel like they’re in a John Wick film, taking part in the position of the Baba Yaga himself.”

As for the discharge date, I’d wager this recreation won’t come out previous to early 2028. Since we noticed gameplay footage on the finish of the reveal trailer, we are able to deduce that it’s fairly deep into growth and that it’s long gone pre-production and the early phases, even perhaps within the alpha stage in the meanwhile. Nonetheless, the truth that it doesn’t have a set title implies it’s nonetheless a methods off and that correct advertising is but to start.

With that in thoughts, I’d say we are able to count on this John Wick recreation by mid-2028 or throughout the extra conventional fall launch window of that 12 months.
