Lionsgate Studios, the company behind properties such as The Hunger Games, Rambo and The Twilight Saga, has just teased that they’re planning âAAA game opportunitiesâ for two of their biggest franchises.
Iâm not sure if thereâs ever been a more straightforward opportunity for a film-to-video-game adaptation than the John Wick series.
Every film (and I mean this in a complimentary way) is just a 90-minute montage of a single dude battling through waves of other dudes. Slap a John Wick skin on Sifu, and youâre already 90 percent of the way there.
Thatâs why itâs odd that Lionsgate, which produces the John Wick films, hasnât bothered to capitalise on this easy lay-up in the past.
Ok, well, technically that isn’t true. At one point in time, a John Wick video game did exist, called John Wick Hex.
Released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC back in 2019 / 2020, John Wick Hex was a tactical role-playing game that served as a prequel to the events of the very first John Wick film.
I say it âwasâ a tactical role-playing game, because it was ultimately delisted from storefronts in July 2025. No exact reason was given for its delisting, but, in light of recent comments made by Lionsgateâs Chairman, Adam Fogelson, I think we finally know why.
As spotted by TweakTown, Lionsgate just held its Q2 2026 earnings call, and Fogelson announced that it is working on developing AAA video game adaptations of both the Saw franchise and the John Wick franchise.
âOur AAA game opportunities and other gaming opportunities around John Wick and Saw and some others that we’ll be announcing soon, we’re seeing increased interest and increased opportunity, and we remain on schedule,â Adam Fogelson revealed.
âSo I think in totality, you are going to see a meaningfully additive financial opportunity coming in the coming years.â
This does kind of line up with John Wick Hexâs delisting, as it would appear that Lionsgate has taken control of the video game adaptation rights away from its original publishers, so that they can work on a John Wick game of their own.
Lionsgate do have a video game production company of its own, named Lionsgate Games, so itâs possible that theyâll be handling the production of these two games internally.
However, considering this was a sort of unofficial tease in an earnings call meeting, I highly doubt that either game has transitioned past the pre-production phase.
Thatâs my way of saying that we likely wonât hear anything in terms of an official announcement for a good while yet.
