At Sony's latest State of Play showcase, we got a first look at the second John Wick videogame, currently billed as "Untitled John Wick Game." The adaptation is in development at Saber Interactive (Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2) and looks set to be a PS5 exclusive—at least for six to 12 months, as these things usually go now.
The trailer mainly shows our titular sadboy assassin getting fitted for one of his bulletproof suits, broken up with cuts to some painstakingly screen-accurate John Wickian jiu jitsu takedowns. Most of it's in Cutscene Mode, but the final 20 seconds or so are fully in-engine, with a helpful "Captured on PS5" notice below.
Perhaps most exciting, Keanu Reeves himself is reprising his role as John Wick. In addition to likeness and voice, all of his takedowns have that signature labored weightiness of the films' fight choreography—It'd be exciting if they got Reeves in for full performance capture of that nature, while series creator (and Reeves' stunt double on The Matrix) Chad Stahelski is also billed as being deeply involved.
