John Wick Game to Be Delisted Soon

Alright, so here’s the deal with John Wick Hex — a game that somehow snuck its way into the realm of digital treasures, only to be yanked off shelves. Weird, right? Come July 17, poof, it vanishes from all the usual online joints, thanks to Big Fan Games. They’re the folks who handled the behind-the-scenes stuff. But anyway, if you’ve got this thing already tucked away in your game stash, you’re fine. It’s not disappearing from your library.

So picture this: Bithell Games from the UK whipped up this tactical role-play extravaganza. And yes, I did check the time when this game first graced our screens back in October 2019 for PC and Mac folks. Then it casually strolled onto PS4, Xbox One, and Switch in 2020. In it, you take control of Mr. Wick — that’s right, our favorite assassin — to save Winston and Charon from the bad guy with some funky name, Hex. Oh, and did I mention Ian McShane and Lance Reddick lend their voices too? It’s like a movie, but you call the shots. Not entirely a smash hit, or maybe were folks just missing Keanu’s real facial expressions? Who can say?

On its digital send-off announcement via Steam, Big Fan Games didn’t spill the beans on why it’s checking out. My guess? Maybe it’s pulling a mysterious move, fitting for a John Wick gig. And yes, if you own a physical copy, it’s sticking around. Hold on, did I mention the comic-book-style? Kind of digs into your brain, visually speaking.

Oh, wait — remember I mentioned those last-minute buys? Yep, it’s $19.99 and available on PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop, Xbox Games Store, and Steam. But the clock is ticking. Plus, while this game played as a prequel, there’s this new animated film on the horizon, diving into Wick’s epic “impossible task.” Keanu Reeves and Chad Stahelski are on the frontline of that project. Which sounds pretty rad, if you ask me.

And while this whole delisting drama might bum some fans out, Lionsgate has whispers of a new AAA Wick game brewing. I know, I know, we’re just here crossing fingers for some updates soon. Maybe a hint? A teaser? Anything! Anyways, for now, clutch onto that game copy like a precious relic, because what’s next? Who really knows.
