Full details:
Lionsgate has pulled back the curtain on John Wick: High Table Siege, a long-awaited AAA action title that brings the Baba Yaga’s relentless gun-fu to life in an expansive open-world Continental network, officially revealed during the studio’s Gaming Showcase on January 31, 2026. Developed by Reprisal Studios – a new Lionsgate-backed team poached from Gunfire Games and Bithell Games alumni – the game launches May 2027 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2, vowing to deliver the cinematic shootouts fans have craved since the franchise’s 2014 debut.
The John Wick saga, starring Keanu Reeves as the excommunicado assassin, grossed over $1 billion across four films, blending balletic gunplay, pencil stabs, and horse chases into pop-culture legend. Spinoffs like Ballerina (2025) and the upcoming John Wick 5 (slated for 2027) keep the momentum, but gaming efforts faltered: John Wick Chronicles (2017 VR rail-shooter by Starbreeze) felt arcade-y, while John Wick Hex (2019 turn-based tactics by Bithell Games) innovated but missed real-time fury, leading to its delisting in July 2025. Lionsgate teased a AAA redo in May 2023, but silence bred doubt – until Chairman Adam Fogelson’s Q2 2026 earnings call confirmed active development: “Our AAA game opportunities around John Wick… we remain on schedule.”
The showcase trailer – 3 minutes of UE5-fueled mayhem, amassing 8 million views overnight – thrusts players into a post-Chapter 4 world as a customizable High Table enforcer. No Reeves mocap (yet), but the grizzled protagonist channels Wick: tactical reloads mid-flip, dog-companion assists, and suite fights with environmental kills (bookshelf impales, chandelier drops). Gameplay previews at the event showcased fluid “gun-fu”: Arkham-style free-flow combos blending melee, slides, and precision shooting; bullet-time “Focus Mode” for dodging barrages; procedural nemesis assassins who adapt to your playstyle, vendettas carrying over sessions.
Reprisal Studios, founded 2024 by ex-Remnant II combat director Dave Adams, blends Max Payne 3‘s balletic shootouts with Shadow of War‘s hierarchies. Open-world hubs span New York Continental (lobby management, marker issuance), Rome catacombs, and Tokyo neon alleys – seamless traversal via parkour, motorcycles, and horse summons. Side gigs: Contracts board for gold-farming bounties, customization with 100+ suits/guns (pencil pistol unlockable). Co-op raids hit enemy strongholds; single-player narrative explores High Table politics, with choices excommunicating allies or sparking wars.
“We’ve cracked gun-fu for games – it’s not just shooting, it’s symphony,” Adams told IGN post-reveal. “Wick’s world demands consequence: Miss a reload, your nemesis exploits it next encounter.” Previews praise haptic feedback (PS5 DualSense triggers for slide tension), DLSS 3.5 ray-tracing for neon-soaked gore, and a 40+ hour campaign with replayable marker hunts. Platforms confirmed, with Switch 2 cloud-assisted.
X exploded: SpawnYaard’s trailer breakdown hit 92K views, fans chanting “Baba Yaga gaming!” Reddit’s r/JohnWick and r/gaming threads amassed 20K upvotes: “Finally, no more Hex turns – pure slide-cancel headshots!” Skeptics eyed Lionsgate’s track record, but hype drowned Hex nostalgia. One viral post: “Keanu in Cyberpunk proved it – Wick deserves UE5.”
Lionsgate’s gaming pivot accelerates: Post-Hex delist, the Vegas John Wick Experience (immersive hotel sim) drew 500K visitors, priming IP expansion. Fogelson: “Increased interest… regular cadence of John Wick.” Paired with Saw AAA (horror survival, TBA dev), it eyes $500M revenue. Ballerina‘s $180M box office and Chapter 5 greenlight sync marketing, with Reeves rumored for mocap DLC.
Challenges loom: Nail gun-fu without repetition (Max Payne curse); balance co-op sans live-service (Suicide Squad lessons); satisfy purists demanding Reeves. Pre-orders open February 15, editions with gold coin replicas. Hands-on raves: “Feels like starring in the film.”
As the trailer ends – protagonist holstering amid Continental rubble, marker burning – High Table Siege vows redemption for Wick gaming. Can it match films’ $1B legacy? With gun-fu reborn, 2027 reloads the chamber.
