2026 May Finally Answer the Question: James Bond or John Wick?

In 2026, the long-standing fan debate over who would win in a clash between the world’s most iconic secret agent and its most relentless assassin may finally get an answer—through video games. Okay, maybe not a definitive answer, but it will at least be interesting to see how two titles featuring the icons might fare in a head-to-head battle. After more than a decade without a proper James Bond game, IO Interactive’s 007 First Light is set to bring the legendary MI6 operative back into gamers’ hands with an ambitious action-adventure origin story that casts Bond as a young, untested recruit earning his place in the Double-O ranks. Now, not far behind in hype is an untitled John Wick game from Saber Interactive and Lionsgate that, should it also launch in 2026, could give 007 First Light a run for its money.
