GOOD SHEPHERD ENTERTAINMENT AND LIONSGATE
REVEAL JOHN
WICK HEX,
DEVELOPED BY BITHELL GAMES
Become the Legendary Hitman in the New
Fast-paced Action Strategy Game Coming to Consoles, Windows PC and Mac
AMSTERDAM
and LOS ANGELES — May 8, 2019 —
Publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment, in partnership with global content
leader Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF.A, LGF.B), has announced John Wick Hex, the
upcoming video game from acclaimed game director Mike Bithell (Volume, Thomas Was Alone, Subsurface Circular). John Wick Hex is a
fast-paced, action-oriented strategy game that makes you think and strike
like John Wick, the professional hitman of Lionsgate’s critically
acclaimed film franchise, returning to theaters worldwide on May 17, 2019, with
John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum.
The game is in development for consoles and will be available for Windows PC
and Mac exclusively via the Epic Games Store at launch.
Created in close cooperation with the
creative and stunt teams behind the films, John
Wick Hex is fight-choreographed chess brought to life as a video
game, capturing the series’ signature gun fu style while expanding its story
universe. Players must choose every action and attack they make while
considering their immediate cost and consequences. Every move in John Wick Hex feels like a
scene from the movies, and every fight contributes to your progress on the job
and requires precise strategic thinking.
Perform well and progress in the main story
mode (which features an original story created for the game) to unlock new
weapons, suit options and locations. Each weapon changes up the tactics you’ll
use and the manner in which you’ll play. Ammo is finite and realistically
simulated, so time your reloads and make the most of the weapons you scavenge
on the job.
John
Wick Hex complements the style of
the films with a unique graphic noir art design and features the world-class
voice talents of Ian McShane and Lance Reddick amongst its stellar cast, with
other cast for the game to be revealed later.
