For years, Lionsgate’s biggest franchise has lived almost entirely on the big screen, despite their clear potential beyond film. As interest in high-quality adaptations continues to grow, the studio has increasingly looked toward interactive entertainment as the next frontier for its most recognizable properties.
Lionsgate has officially signaled a major move into the gaming space, confirming that a Lionsgate AAA John Wick game is currently in development, alongside a new project based on the SAW franchise.
The confirmation came during a recent company earnings call, where the studio acknowledged growing audience interest in seeing its most popular film properties expanded into high-quality interactive experiences.
Importance: The Lionsgate AAA John Wick game signals a major shift toward treating video games as top-tier franchise expansions, reflecting growing industry demand for high-budget, story-driven adaptations.
Multiple Franchise Projects in Development
During the earnings call, Lionsgate chairman Adam Fogelson highlighted the company’s expanding focus on gaming, explicitly referencing multiple projects tied to major franchises, including the Lionsgate AAA John Wick game and a new SAW title.
While specific details were not shared, the comments suggest an official reveal is expected in the near future.
Gameplay and Creative Freedom
The John Wick project is expected to move beyond the series’ previous low-budget adaptations, with speculation pointing toward an original narrative rather than a direct retelling of the films, giving developers greater creative flexibility in gameplay, characters, and world-building.
The SAW game, meanwhile, would mark the franchise’s return to video games for the first time since 2010, underscoring Lionsgate’s broader strategy to capitalize on increased demand for AAA-quality adaptations across its entertainment portfolio.
