Alright, so here’s the thing. John Wick Hex, this game that’s been hanging out in digital stores, is gonna vanish pretty soon. Like, poof, gone by July 17. Yeah, I know, kind of sudden, right? Big Fan Games spilled the beans on this. I always thought it had potential, though maybe not groundbreaking. But hey, you play as John Wick—that’s a flex.
This game? Made by Bithell Games—kudos to them, it wasn’t the easiest task. It’s got this comic book vibe, which honestly, either you dig it or you don’t. It first landed on PC and Mac in 2019, and then jumped to PS4, Xbox One, and Switch in 2020. You step into Wick’s shoes, trying to save Winston and Charon. And you’re up against Hex. Yeah, Hex—new dude in town. Ian McShane, Lance Reddick, and Troy Baker lend their voices, which is cool since they’re like movie royalty. But the whole thing’s saying bye-bye soon. Confusing, right?
Anyway, they posted on Steam about this delisting—gonna stop selling everywhere. If you have it, you keep it. But if not, well, too bad. Why are they doing this? No clue. Maybe rights expired, maybe they’re just mischievous like that. Sad, really, since the game offered something different for the series.
Before it exits digital shelves, bring your wallet and maybe grab it for $19.99. Nostalgic value? Maybe. But here’s a plot twist: There’s this new animated film in the works. A prequel, if you will. Keanu Reeves and Chad Stahelski are attached, which sounds promising.
So yeah, it’s a bit of a bummer for fans, but Lionsgate is cooking up another John Wick game. Eventually, we’ll dive back into Wick’s world. Let’s hope it won’t take forever because patience—let’s face it—isn’t my strong suit.
