The official John Wick game finally has a release date. John Wick Hex will launch on the PC and Mac exclusively via Epic Games store on October 8 for $19.99 The game is developed by Bithell Games, in partnership with Good Shephard Entertainment and Lionsgate Games.
John Wick Hex takes place before the events shown in the movies, where the lead protagonist Wick still works as a professional assassin. Actors from John Wick movies such as Ian McShane and Lance Reddick also feature in the game as Winston and Charon. Meanwhile, Mike Bithell also announced that Troy Baker (Uncharted 4, The Last of Us, Infamous Second Son, Batman: Arkham Origins) will play the original villain in the game. Sadly, Keanu Reeves won’t be the voice of his in-game character.
John Wick Hex combines action sequences from the movie into a top-down strategy game where players are supposed to plan their moves ahead of time. It’s more like a real-time strategy game where your actions will have consequences that will play out. The game mixes real-time strategy with tactical decisions, and Wick’s every move and action in the game will take place in a timeline. For instance, you’ll have limited ammo and reloading obviously takes time, so you’ll need to devise a strategy before you run into enemies. It’s essentially all about time management here.
John Wick Hex will be exclusively available via the Epic Games store. The action-packed strategy puzzler will be available on the PC and Mac starting October 8. Besides, you can also pre-order the game for just $20. The game is also expected to arrive on consoles, but there’s no word on when yet.
