Fans of cinematic action and horror can ready their controllers, as film studio Lionsgate has officially confirmed that major new video game adaptations of its blockbuster franchises John Wick and Saw are in active development.
Executive Comments Hint at Imminent Reveals
The news came directly from Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Chairman, Adam Fogelson, during the company's Q2 2026 earnings call in November. As reported by outlets like Tech4Gamers, Fogelson pointed to significant gaming opportunities on the horizon.
At the 27-minute mark of the Q&A session, Fogelson stated: "Our AAA game opportunities and other gaming opportunities around John Wick and Saw, and some others that we’ll be announcing soon." He added that the studio is seeing increased interest and remains on schedule, forecasting a "meaningfully additive financial opportunity" in the coming years.
A Long-Awaited AAA Venture for The Baba Yaga
This announcement builds on earlier teases from Lionsgate's CEO, Jon Feltheimer, who in 2022 mentioned the studio was fielding proposals for a "big AAA game" based on the Keanu Reeves-led action series. To date, the iconic hitman's standalone gaming outings have been limited to the well-received tactical title John Wick Hex and the VR experience John Wick Chronicles, with other appearances coming via crossovers in games like Fortnite and Call Of Duty.
Fogelson's use of "soon" suggests an official reveal could happen within the next few months to a year, though details on the development studio or game format remain under wraps.
The Saw Franchise Returns to Gaming
Alongside the AAA John Wick project, Fogelson's comments confirm a new video game for the Saw horror franchise is also in the works. The last major console release was Saw 2: Flesh & Blood back in 2010 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, with the villain Jigsaw more recently appearing as a character in Dead by Daylight.
It is currently unclear if the new Saw game will be a AAA production like its John Wick counterpart. Given the trend of horror IPs adopting asymmetric multiplayer formats (seen in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Evil Dead: The Game), it is a possibility, but Lionsgate has not yet disclosed any specifics.
The studio holds a rich catalogue of other intellectual property—including The Hunger Games, Twilight, and Now You See Me—leaving the door open for further game announcements in the future.
