Saber has announced a John Wick game for PlayStation 5, confirming development on an untitled project set within the franchise timeline. The studio said the game will be revealed with an official title and release date at a later time.
The announcement was shared with the PlayStation community alongside a video confirming the project for PS5. Saber said it is working with Chad Stahelski, Keanu Reeves and Lionsgate on the game.
According to the studio, the game takes place during a specific period in the John Wick timeline and “contributes to the expansive and rich lore of the franchise.”

Saber said the story is being created with its writers, Chad Stahelski and Lionsgate. The studio described it as “an original gameplay narrative that addresses a significant time in John Wick’s life,” featuring established characters from the films as well as new characters created for the game.
The developer said elements from the films will be included to support the interactive format. These include “the unique use of camerawork”, “bold and cinematic environments”, “gun-fu action” and driving sequences. Saber said these features form a core part of the experience planned for PS5 players.
Saber stated that its aim is to create “a wholly immersive experience” that “blurs the line between movies and video games.” Players will take on the role of John Wick, also known as the Baba Yaga, through what the studio called “high-stakes, fully interactive mechanics.”

The studio said combat is being developed from the ground up to reflect the style seen in the films. “The style of fighting will feel like an authentic John Wick action scene taken straight from the films,” Saber said, adding that the system is being built to remain faithful to the series.
Saber also confirmed that players will explore “neo-noir environments” designed to reflect the locations and details associated with the franchise. These settings will be visited across multiple missions.
While further details remain unannounced, Saber said it looks forward to the moment when players can experience the John Wick game on PlayStation 5.
