A John Wick VR shooter published by Starbreeze is in the works

The John Wick game will be a virtual reality first-person shooter which will be based off of the actual John Wick movie and the world/character from it. The game, however, will center around the Continental Hotel, although exactly how hasn’t been revealed.

HTC will demo this game during its upcoming World Tour, where they’ll drive trucks around North America and Europe to let people try their new VR platform, according to Business Insider. Release date for John Wick VR is not yet announced, but Starbreeze said that we should expect the game in Spring 2016. “John Wick screams for a game”.

In a statement, Levin also said that the studio hopes “a cutting edge VR game will deepen fan engagement and accelerate John Wick’s evolution into one of our next big action franchises”. Wick is already available as a downloadable character in Starbreeze’s crime-fueled shooter Payday 2, and the developer says it will “further integrate” the Wick character and story into the game, though no specifics were announced.

It’s unclear at this point if John Wick star Keanu Reeves will be reprising the title role.

The game will not mimic the narrative of the film, but will be strongly influenced by its premise and characters.

The website added that a demo will also be available via SteamVR when the Vive rolls out later this year.

Check out our most anticipated games of July, one of many videos in Digital Spy’s dedicated Gaming YouTube channel. Starbreeze will act as the overseer for quality (of which Payday is known for) and as publisher. At Starbreeze, we create games by our own design and through licensed content, establishing franchises that can live and prosper outside the game itself. Starbreeze brands include OVERKILL Software and the PAYDAY series.
