Lionsgate says John Wick and Saw videogames are on the way

Lionsgate is finally pulling the trigger on full-scale interactive expansions for its two most valuable franchises. During the studio's Q2 2026 earnings call, Adam Fogelson, Chairman of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, confirmed that high-budget AAA video game adaptations of John Wick and Saw are in active development, with formal reveals expected shortly.

For years, the studio favoured low-risk licensing deals such as the tactical John Wick Hex or crossover skins in Fortnite and Dead by Daylight. However, it seems Lionsgate wants to move things up a notch into AAA gaming. As per Adam Fogelson's words (via Tech4Gamers), “our AAA game opportunities and other gaming opportunities around John Wick and Saw and some others that we'll be announcing soon”.

By moving away from “no-risk licensing” toward AAA productions, Lionsgate can capture the visceral “gun-fu” action of Wick and the complex psychological horror of Saw in ways that previous mobile and mid-tier titles could not. Whether the game is a direct retelling of the films or a spin-off like the Ballerina movie, it would be nice to see Keanu Reeves return, especially after seeing his work as Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077.

On the other hand, Saw already had some games like Saw (2009) and Saw II: Flesh & Blood (2010), but the new one will hopefully be better received. While Fogelson was tight-lipped on specifics, it's not that hard to imagine how a Saw game can look. The most obvious would be a survival horror title, but a multiplayer game akin to Dead by Daylight is also a possibility.

KitGuru says: If Lionsgate partners with a high-tier combat studio like Sloclap (Sifu), we could finally get the John Wick game fans have been building in their heads for years. On another note, what “some other” franchises do you think Fogelson was referring to?
