Call it what you want, but Chad Stahelski’s epic four-movie action series, which we all know as theJohn Wickfranchise, has truly delivered as an enthralling watch, setting the bar for how action movies should be made. Stahelski’s work is impressive, but what more could be done to extend the John Wick legacy?
To start off, the idea of a fifth movie in the franchise is already on the books as it is currently being developed, but there’s a lot more that you can add to a franchise with so much potential. If you’re guessing, Lionsgate has big plans for a video game based on the franchise, so fans better start saving $60 from now on!

John Wick Might Get A Video Game Adaptation
There has been a lot of effort put into theKeanu Reeves-ledJohn Wickfranchise ever since the release of the first movie back in 2014. We’ve had two extra sequels already come out to rave reviews, with the fourth installment currently on its way for a theatrical release next year.
There have also been spinoffs, like the Ana de Armas-led movie calledBallerinaalso in development. Crossovers with Charlize Theron’sAtomic Blondecharacter have also been discussed too, and fans have also been treated to a comic book mini-series in 2017!

But these are all pieces of media you can watch/read, not actively interact with. Cue a video game adaptation, of which we already have the VR gameJohn Wick Chroniclesas well as the tactical role-playing gameJohn Wick Hex.
However, a bigger step into the video game industry for the franchise would be to produce a triple-A game based on the franchise, and to be more ambitious, an open-world game!
A triple-A open-world John Wick video game sounds pretty good, right? Well, that’s exactly what was discussed during a Lionsgate earnings call today, with CEO Jon Feltheimer discussing proposals for the same.
According to a report by IndieWire, Feltheimer had this to say about the whole thing-
“I don’t want to get ahead of myself here, but we believe there is a big AAA game to be made out of ‘John Wick.'”
“We have been fielding proposals. We certainly are interested in moving that forward, but I don’t want to say anything more about that at this time.”
An open-world video game generally requires a stacked computer (or one that’s compatible enough to run modern AAA games) to have it run at a reasonable rate on your PC. So fans are going to have to worry about building a new powerhouse PC, or just watching the gameplay from YouTube.

Fans Have Already Curated Developers For The John Wick Video Game
When it comes to open-world games, there aren’t too many good video game developers in the industry. With notable French video-game company/developer Ubisoft and its recent titles declining in quality.

Naughty Dog is the only studio I can trust for a JOHN WICK game.

While all these options are lucrative, Lionsgate will have to carefully pick one that can preserve the action-packed nature of theJohn Wickfranchise while also making it an interesting open-world game.
John Wick: Chapter 4is slated for a theatrical release on Jun 14, 2025, in the United States.
