"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," the company explained in a press release."

"Players must choose every action and attack they make, while considering their immediate cost and consequences," they continued. "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."

The following year, John Wick Chronicles, a first-person virtual reality game featuring a standalone narrative, was released for Steam VR.
