Honestly, I didn’t expect this, but here we go. So there’s this game, John Wick Hex—yeah, the one with Keanu’s alter ego taking on baddies in a cool strategic way—and guess what? It’s being pulled off the shelves come July 17. Announced by Big Fan Games, the whole deal is kinda disappointing, right? It’s the only game out there related to the movies.
So, let’s backtrack a bit. A UK indie crew, Bithell Games, came up with this gem way back in 2019 for PC and macOS, and then extended it to PS4, Xbox One, and Switch. The game’s like a tactical role-play where you step into Wick’s shoes, trying to rescue Winston and Charon from this baddie named Hex. What’s crazy is they got Ian McShane, Lance Reddick, and even Troy Baker doing voices. Like, how cool is that?
Anyway, Big Fan Games put up this kinda bleak announcement on Steam, saying the game’s gonna vanish from all platforms by July 17, 2025. For folks who already have it, no worries, you can still play it on your devices. Physical copies still work too. But if you haven’t grabbed it, it’s now or never. And they didn’t even explain why it’s being yanked. The game’s fun with its comic-style graphics and all, although some say the action could be better.
Oh, right! Before it’s gone, you can snag it for twenty bucks on PlayStation Store and all the other usual spots. And if you’re into the lore, there’s an animated film by Keanu and Chad Stahelski coming up as a prequel. Exciting stuff, huh?
While this sucks for fans, there’s a glimmer of hope—I mean, Lionsgate said they’re cooking up a new AAA game. No idea on the details yet, but fingers crossed it’ll put us back in Wick’s world soon.
