John Wick game adaption will be a VR first-person shooter

Game publisher Starbreeze is working on a virtual reality shooter based off of the hit movie John Wick from 2014. A teaser for the game will first launch on the HTC Vive, Starbreeze says.

The HTC Vive will obviously be the first platform to see the game, as it has a confirmed Christmas 2015 release date, while the Oculus Rift release is still up in the air, saying sometime in Q1 2016.

The movie stars Keanu Reeves, an ex-gangster, who gets back into the fight after his former boss’ son raids John Wick’s home and kills his dog, which happened to be a gift from Wick’s late wife.

The game will be developed in conjunction with WEVR and Grab development studios. If the game is anything like the movie, it should certainly be packed full of action, especially if it’s in set in virtual reality.

As mentioned earlier, a teaser game will launch alongside the HTC Vive via SteamVR. The full game will launch in Spring 2016 and will be available for most VR headsets. Starbreeze is no doubt waiting for the critically acclaimed and crowd-funded Oculus Rift to launch before it releases the full game.

If the game does well, we could possibly see a game adaption for the upcoming sequel of the original movie, John Wick 2.

The publisher gave no details on pricing just yet.
