Publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment and Lionsgate have announced John Wick Hex from developer Mike Bithell, known for the projects Volume, Thomas Was Alone, Subsurface Circular. John Wick Hex is a fast-paced, action-oriented turn-based tactics game that forces the player to think and attack enemies while playing as a professional hitman from the popular Lionsgate films of the same name. By the way, John Wick 3 will be released on big screens on May 17, 2019.
The game uses a hand-drawn graphic style in the noir genre, and features famous voice actors like Ian McShane and Lance Reddick, among other stars. John Wick Hex is being developed for consoles (which ones have not been announced) and will also be available on PC in versions for Windows and macOS. It will be available to purchase at launch exclusively from the Epic Games Store. The release date has not yet been announced.
John Wick Hex is described as a project created in close collaboration with the creative teams of the films - it is a kind of chess with choreographed combat in the signature style. It is alleged that the plot of the project will expand the cinematic universe. Players must choose every action and attack they make based on its cost and immediate consequences. Every move in John Wick Hex should remind fans of scenes from the movies, and every fight will encourage progress and require clear strategic thinking.
By successfully completing missions in story mode, the player will unlock new weapons, costume options, and locations. Each weapon changes the tactics used and the way you play. Ammunition is limited and simulated realistically, as are the reload times and recoil of weapons picked up by the character on missions.
