John Wick is back and he’s got his game face on. This time, the slo-mo, bullet-lov’in action hero’s tackling virtual reality and probably leaving no survivors.
Developer Starbreeze, responsible for the first-person Payday bank-heist series, will be teaming up with Lionsgate films to make the experience and launching for multiple headsets, Eurogamer reports.
Mobile and VR studio Grab will be leading development, as will Wevr, who made the HTC Vive’s acclaimed aquatic tech demo, Blu: Encounter.
Though we have yet to know whether Keanu Reeves will be reprising the titular role, the game’s set to adapt “the world and characters” of the bullet-ridden film which we rather liked. The Continental Hotel location will reportedly be the center of the action
Payday 2 also happens to star Mr. Wick via a free downloadable update last fall.
A demo version of John Wick‘s VR exploits will be available to try later this year via SteamVR prior to its scheduled spring 2016 release.
