HE’S BACK! Saber Interactive Reveals AAA John Wick Game Starring Keanu Reeves!

Saber Interactive has officially announced a high-budget AAA John Wick video game featuring Keanu Reeves’ voice and likeness, set to release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Unveiled with a cinematic trailer during the February 2026 State of Play, the game is a single-player, third-person action experience that tells an original story set years before the "Impossible Task" mentioned in the first film. The project is being developed alongside franchise visionary Chad Stahelski to ensure the series' signature "gun-fu" choreography and neo-noir aesthetic are perfectly translated into gameplay. While an official release date hasn't been set, industry insiders are eyeing a 2027 or 2028 launch. The reveal trailer showcased ultra-realistic 4K graphics, with brief gameplay segments highlighting a "bespoke combat system" that blends tactical shooting, fluid melee finishers, and high-speed driving sequences through rain-drenched cityscapes.

The Lead: Keanu Reeves is officially reprising his role for both voice and motion capture.

The Timeline: The game is a prequel, exploring John’s "prime" years before he retired for Helen.

"Gun-Fu" Combat: A custom system built from scratch to focus on rhythm, timing, and tactical reloads.

Camerawork: Features dynamic, cinematic camera shifts that mimic the "long-take" style of the movies.

Driving: Confirmed high-stakes vehicle sequences featuring classic muscle cars.

Developer: Saber Interactive (The studio behind Space Marine 2 and World War Z).
Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

"The Space Marine 2 Connection": Mention that Saber Interactive is on a massive hot streak. Their work on Space Marine 2 (which sold 7M+ units) proved they can handle "power fantasy" combat. If they bring that same weight and polish to John Wick, this could be the best movie-to-game adaptation since Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Keanu’s Involvement: This is huge. Many movie games use "sound-alikes," but having Keanu himself ensures the dry wit and intensity of the character remain intact.

Expanding the Lore: Since it’s a prequel, talk about the potential for seeing younger versions of Winston (Ian McShane) or Charon (Lance Reddick). It’s an opportunity to see the Continental in its "glory days."
