Publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment and developer Bithell Games’ John Wick Hex has been available as a PC title exclusive to the Epic Games Store.
The team recently announced the game is making its way to the PlayStation 4 this May.
“John Wick Hex is a fast-paced, action-oriented strategy game that makes you think and strike like John Wick, the professional hitman of the critically acclaimed film franchise. Created in close cooperation with the creative 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. Players must make quick decisions and choose every action and attack they make, all the while considering their immediate cost and consequences.” states the game’s official summary.
Players who are a fan of the movie series can now step into Wick’s shoes and experience the action first-hand.
The game will be updated for the PlayStation 4, specifically for the Dual Shock Controller. The developer teamed up with Ant Workshop to redesign the game experience.
