It’s finally happening. After years of vague hints and “interest,” Lionsgate has officially confirmed that a high-budget AAA John Wick game is in active development.
The news broke during the company’s Q2 2026 earnings call, where Motion Picture Group Chairman Adam Fogelson told investors that the project is “on schedule” and moving toward a formal reveal.
For fans of the franchise, this is the announcement that corrects a long-standing missed opportunity. While 2019’s John Wick Hex was a clever tactical experiment, it didn’t quite capture the visceral, neon-soaked “gun-fu” that made the movies a billion-dollar phenomenon. This new project aims to change that, shifting from simple licensing deals to a massive, premium production that Lionsgate hopes will become a “meaningfully additive” part of their business.
Major Events Such As Summer Game Fest or Gamescom Are Expected In 2026
The timing is interesting, too. Just last year, John Wick Hex was quietly delisted from digital stores, likely clearing the path for this new flagship title. While we don’t know the specific developer yet, Fogelson teased that an official announcement is coming “soon,” with many pointing toward major 2026 showcases like Summer Game Fest or Gamescom as the likely stage for a first trailer.
And Wick isn’t the only one coming to consoles. Lionsgate also confirmed a new AAA Saw game is in the works, marking a major push to turn their biggest cinematic worlds into interactive experiences. Whether you’re a fan of high-octane headshots or twisted survival puzzles, your 2026 gaming calendar just got a lot more crowded.
