Baba Yaga Loads Up as Saber Interactive’s John Wick Game Set to Hit PS5, Xbox and PC

Keanu Reeves returns as the man in black, taking on the goons in a brand new John Wick action game from Saber Interactive revealed during the Playstation State of Play event. He’s preparing for a new assault on the streets in a game Saber believes was the ideal project to work on, collaborating directly with Lionsgate, director Chad Stahelski, and the man himself, Keanu Reeves.

The trailer begins with some really nice CGI action, reminding everyone what it takes to be the greatest assassin for hire, which includes a few tricks of the trade like characteristic club shootouts, and the occasional kitchen frenzy. It all leads up to the good stuff, which is actual gameplay footage of Reeves’ likeness slamming people around. The environments are all lighted up like neon nightclubs and rainy streets straight out of a John Wick film, and the camera work is flawless, weaving tight through the turmoil exactly like in the movies.

The true brilliance of the game is in the gun-fu, where shooting and hand-to-hand combat coexist in perfect harmony. You get to sneak into crowded places, popping heads and avoiding knives and chokes. Driving parts will feature several high-speed chases, with Wick evading or hitting pursuers in a huge automobile crash. Saber designed all of these features to fit the pulse of the film’s action scenes, transforming those cinematic moments into actual playable gameplay. The cityscapes on display are reminiscent of a John Wick flick, with crowded nightspots and darkly lit alleys calling for a brutal takedown.

Iglesias emphasizes the goal: deliver action that feels pulled straight from the screen. “The style of fighting will feel like an authentic John Wick action scene taken straight from the films,” he writes. “Everything is designed to faithfully mimic the movie experience in a meaningful, fully playable way.” Collaboration ensures the game’s chapter fits seamlessly into Wick’s legend, years before the first film’s events.

Within the game, everyone working on it wants to make sure it fits in smoothly with the John Wick tale, which takes place years before the first film was released. This game will be accessible on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, meaning that it will be a full-fledged AAA release with no corners cut. Of course, Saber, the team behind World War Z Aftermath and the upcoming Space Marine 2, is no stranger to crafting popular games.

There is no release date yet, but you can already start wishlisting it on the PlayStation Store to be among the first to know when it becomes available. The trailer ends with Wick reloading, surrounded by various bodies, before the logo appears on the screen, with Saber promising more information about the title, release date, and where the plot goes from here, all of which will be revealed shortly.
