Studio behind the billion-dollar hitman franchise drops bombshell in earnings call: A high-budget triple-A adaptation is ‘on schedule’ with a reveal imminent, alongside a revival for horror staple ‘Saw.’

Lionsgate, the powerhouse studio that turned Keanu Reeves into an action icon through the John Wick saga, has officially greenlit a AAA video game adaptation – and it’s farther along than fans might expect. During the company’s Q2 fiscal 2026 earnings call on November 6, 2025, Motion Picture Group Chairman Adam Fogelson confirmed the project is “on schedule” amid “increased interest and increased opportunity,” with a full announcement coming “soon.” The tease has ignited the gaming world, where whispers of a proper John Wick game have circulated since the first film’s 2014 debut.

Fogelson’s exact words, dropped at the 27-minute mark of the investor Q&A: “Our AAA game opportunities and other gaming opportunities around John Wick and Saw and some others that we’ll be announcing soon.” This isn’t idle chatter – Lionsgate first hinted at the idea in May 2023, and sources close to the project indicate development is “well underway.” No developer, platforms, or release window were named, but the studio’s pivot signals a bold push into interactive entertainment as Hollywood eyes gaming’s $200 billion market.

From Silver Screen to Controller: The Long-Awaited Leap

The John Wick series – four films grossing over $1 billion worldwide – redefined gun-fu with its balletic shootouts, pencil assassinations, and neon-drenched underworld lore. Fans have clamored for a game worthy of the Continental’s high table, but past efforts fell short. John Wick Hex (2019), a turn-based tactics title by Bithell Games, earned praise for strategic depth but criticism for lacking the films’ fluidity. The VR shooter John Wick Chronicles (2017) offered immersive kills but was hampered by dated graphics and limited scope.

Enter Lionsgate’s AAA ambition: A big-budget blockbuster aiming to capture the saga’s “visceral combat” and cinematic flair. Speculation runs wild – could it blend Max Payne-style bullet time with Hitman‘s stealth takedowns? Or an open-world Yakuza-esque romp through New York’s shadows? Modders have previewed the potential: A famed Max Payne 3 overhaul turns Max into Wick, racking up millions of views with flawless recreations of film setpieces. Indie titles like SPINE (delayed to 2026) and Suit For Hire echo the style, fueling hype that Lionsgate could deliver the real deal.

‘Saw’ Revival and Lionsgate’s Gaming Gambit

The John Wick news wasn’t solo: Fogelson bundled it with a AAA Saw game, reviving the torture-porn franchise dormant since 2010’s Saw II: Flesh & Blood. A third Saw title was teased in 2021 but vanished. Lionsgate eyes these as tentpoles in a broader strategy, potentially including Hunger Games spin-offs, to monetize IPs beyond theaters. “We’re seeing increased interest,” Fogelson noted, amid Hollywood’s gaming surge – think Sony’s The Last of Us or Warner Bros.’ Hogwarts Legacy.

Lionsgate isn’t new to this: Partnerships like a John Wick Roblox experience and Vegas immersive attraction show ecosystem-building savvy. With John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) still fresh, timing aligns for cross-media synergy – perhaps tying into Ballerina (2025) or a fifth film.

Fan Frenzy Erupts Online

X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit exploded post-leak. JaePlayzGamez’s clip – hyping “FINALLY, we won’t have to rely on mods!” – garnered 34,000 likes, embedding fan footage of Wick-esque action. ResetEra threads buzz: “A properly funded AAA John Wick… this could be huge.” r/gaming hit fever pitch, with 1,000+ upvotes on the Lionsgate reveal.

Skeptics abound: “Movie games flop hard,” citing GoldenEye exceptions amid duds like Mortal Kombat tie-ins. Yet optimism prevails – Keanu’s Cyberpunk 2077 cred adds legitimacy. Spanish outlet Vandal: “Β‘Confirmado!”

What Lies Ahead: Challenges and Potential

Success hinges on execution. AAA action demands fluid gunplay – think Doom Eternal‘s precision or Control‘s flair. Lionsgate’s unnamed partner (rumors swirl around Vertigo Games or a Remedy-like studio) must nail the “gun-fu ballet.” Multiplayer? Continental raids? Live-service High Table wars?

Risks loom: Development hell plagues movie games, and John Wick‘s niche appeal (R-rated gore) narrows the audience. But with GTA VI delayed and action droughts, timing’s ripe.

As 2026 dawns, Lionsgate’s tease spotlights gaming’s IP gold rush. John Wick could redefine adaptations – or join the graveyard. Announcement “soon” means watch Summer Game Fest or The Game Awards. Baba Yaga waits for no one.
