  • Yeah, We’re Thinking He’s Back: Lionsgate and Saber Interactive Reveal AAA John Wick Game

    Yeah, We’re Thinking He’s Back: Lionsgate and Saber Interactive Reveal AAA John Wick Game

    The High Table has issued a new directive, and this time, the target is your console. During the February 2026 Sony State of Play, Lionsgate and Saber Interactive officially pulled back the curtain on the project fans have been demanding for years: a high-budget, AAA John Wick video game.

    While the franchise has dipped its toes into the digital world before with the VR title Chronicles and the tactical John Wick Hex, this marks the first time the “Baba Yaga” will be getting a full-scale, third-person action experience designed to mirror the cinematic intensity of the billion-dollar film series.

    What We Know So Far

    The announcement came with a slick reveal trailer that confirmed several key details that should make any action fan breathe a sigh of relief:

    • Keanu Is In: This isn’t just a licensed skin. Keanu Reeves is officially reprising his role, providing both his likeness and voice to ensure the game feels like a true extension of the films.
    • A Prequel Story: The game features an original narrative set years before the “Impossible Task.” It promises to explore John’s prime, introducing familiar faces alongside brand-new characters created specifically for the game.
    • The Dream Team: Saber Interactive—the studio fresh off the massive success of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2—is leading development. Even better? Franchise visionary Chad Stahelski is collaborating closely on the project to nail the “gun-fu” choreography.

    Mastering the Art of Gun-Fu

    Saber Interactive isn’t just making a standard shooter. The studio has emphasised that the combat system is being built from the ground up to replicate the unique rhythm of the movies.

    “Our goal is to create a wholly immersive experience unlike any other… something that blurs the line between movies and video games.” — Jesus Iglesias, Game Director at Saber Interactive

    Key Gameplay Features:

    • Signature Gun-Fu: A seamless blend of close-quarters grappling and precision firearm play.
    • Cinematic Camerawork: Dynamic angles designed to mimic the long takes and “neon-noir” aesthetic of the films.
    • Intense Driving: High-octane vehicle sequences that go beyond simple travel, likely incorporating the car-combat seen in Chapter 4.
    • Mature Tone: True to its roots, the game is being developed for mature audiences, promising the grit and brutality the series is known for.

    Release Details & Platforms

    While we don’t have a confirmed release date yet, the project is officially in active development for the following platforms:

    • PlayStation 5
    • Xbox Series X|S
    • PC

    You can already head over to your digital storefront of choice to add the “Untitled John Wick Game” to your wishlist.

    The Verdict

    With the creative powerhouse of Saber Interactive at the helm and the direct involvement of Chad Stahelski and Keanu Reeves, this is shaping up to be the definitive John Wick experience. It’s not just a game; it’s an invitation to step into the well-tailored suit of the world’s most dangerous man.

    Be seeing you.

  • Now This is Podracing: Everything We Learned from the Star Wars: Galactic Racer Gameplay Trailer

    Now This is Podracing: Everything We Learned from the Star Wars: Galactic Racer Gameplay Trailer

    The wait is finally over. After months of speculation following its reveal at The Game Awards 2025, Fuse Games just dropped the official gameplay trailer for Star Wars: Galactic Racer™ during the February 2026 State of Play.

    If you were worried this would be a “clean” corporate racer, think again. This is gritty, underground, and looks like it was built by people who genuinely miss the “move or die” intensity of Burnout and Episode I: Racer.

    The Setting: Chaos in the New Republic

    Forget the Jedi and the Sith. The game is set in the lawless Outer Rim during the New Republic era (shortly after the fall of the Empire). With the galaxy rebuilding, a power vacuum has opened, filled by The Galactic League—an unsanctioned, high-stakes racing circuit backed by shadowy syndicates.

    Key Gameplay Features

    • A “Runs-Based” Experience: This isn’t just a series of laps. Tracks feature branching routes and dynamic environments that change mid-race. You’ll need to make split-second risk-reward decisions.
    • The Fleet: You aren’t limited to one vehicle type. The trailer showcased:
      • Podracers (including the return of fan-favourites like Sebulba and Ben Quadinaros!)
      • Speeder Bikes
      • Landspeeders and Skim Speeders
    • Tactical Combat: Drawing from the developers’ Burnout roots, the game encourages shunting, slamming, and “brutal takedowns.”

    The Story: Revenge at 600 MPH

    You play as Shade, a lone-wolf pilot with a grudge against the current League champion, Kestar Bool.

    The campaign is immersive and choice-driven. You’ll work with your mechanic, Hibi, to customise your ride with parts and upgrades earned through a branching path of events. It’s not just about being the fastest; it’s about building a machine that can survive a league where “no rules” is the only rule.

    “No rules, no safety committees, and definitely no official medals—only those willing to punch, dodge, and face the risks will cross the finish line.” — Official Announcement

    Multiplayer and Modes

    For those who want to test their mettle against the galaxy, the game confirmed:

    • 12-Player Online PvP: Hard-fought races where reputation is everything.
    • Arcade Mode: Focused on precision driving and climbing the global leaderboards.
    • Scenarios Mode: Unique challenges and hardcore conditions that push your piloting skills to the limit.

    Initial Thoughts: Is It the Successor We Wanted?

    The visuals in Unreal Engine 5 are stunning, taking us from the familiar sands of Jakku to lush jungles and industrial cityscapes. While some fans on Reddit are debating the “grittier” art style, the sense of speed in the trailer is undeniable. It feels like a love letter to the N64/GameCube era of Star Wars games—experimental, fun, and a little bit dangerous.

    Star Wars: Galactic Racer is slated for release later in 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. You can officially wishlist it on Steam and the PlayStation Store now!

  • New gameplay teaser for 83 the 40v40 tactical shooter

    New gameplay teaser for 83 the 40v40 tactical shooter

    The Teaser: Raw, Visceral, and Fast

    While previous looks at ’83 focused on the scale of its 80-player battlefields, this latest teaser puts the spotlight on “accessible realism.” Instead of sweeping vistas, we get a front-row seat to the “moment-to-moment intensity” of a Cold War firefight.

    Key Highlights from the Trailer:

    • Refined Gunplay: The teaser showcases a significant overhaul in weapon handling. We see era-authentic AK-74s and western counterparts with realistic recoil, overheating suppressors, and manual magazine management (no “magic” bullet pooling here).
    • The “Frontlines” Mode: Brief glimpses of the dynamic frontline system show how territory shifts in real-time, forcing squads to adapt or be cut off from reinforcements.
    • Destruction & Environment: The trailer highlights the new destructibility system, with vehicles smashing through fences and explosions clearing out defensive positions to create new flanking routes.

    What is ’83?

    For the uninitiated, ’83 is set in an alternate history where the Cold War boils over into a hot conflict between NATO and the Warsaw Pact.

    FeatureDetails
    Player Count40v40 (80 Players Total)
    Philosophy“Accessible Realism” — hardcore lethality without the “dull parts.”
    Match LengthRoughly 30–40 minutes
    Key RolesFrom frontline Grunts and Vehicle Operators to the strategic Team Commander.

    “Our priority since the demo has been clear: focus on the fundamentals. That means getting core systems feeling right and stable before we move on to lots of new content.” — Tony Gillham, CEO at Blue Dot Games

    Why the Wait?

    You might remember that ’83 was originally eyeing a 2025 release. However, following feedback from a previous Steam Next Fest, the team moved the Early Access launch to early 2026.

    The extra time is being used to polish movement—specifically a “total rework” of the prone system—and to replace the legacy UI with a sleeker, more intuitive interface. If this teaser is any indication, that extra “cook time” is paying off in spades.

    When Can You Play?

    ’83 is slated for Steam Early Access in early 2026, with a full 1.0 release targeted for later in the year. If you want to keep the pressure on the Iron Curtain, you can wishlist the game on Steam now to stay updated on upcoming playtests.

    Don’t look at the comments. Don’t check your DMs. Just RUN.

    The price of fame has never looked so terrifying.

    BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW isn’t just a jump-scare simulator; it’s a chilling look at social media obsession. You play as Anne, trapped in a world where you have to escape terrifying monsters born from the vanity and influence of the digital age.

    Shochiku is bringing some serious cinematic quality to this one. The atmosphere is thick, the sound design is haunting, and the message is loud and clear: Be careful who you follow… and who follows you back.

  • Cowboys, Chrome, and Chaos: This is ExeKiller

    Cowboys, Chrome, and Chaos: This is ExeKiller

    Imagine if Blade Runner and Mad Max had a baby in the middle of a post-apocalyptic wasteland. That’s the vibe of ExeKiller, and we are absolutely obsessed with this art style.

    You play as Denzel, a bounty hunter (or “ExeKiller”) in a world ravaged by a Great Fire that destroyed most of humanity. Your job? Collect SOULS. But how you do it—and who you spare—is entirely up to you.

    Why it’s on our radar:

    • Choice Matters: This isn’t just a shooter. Your decisions genuinely shape the story and the world around you.
    • The “Neo-Western” Aesthetic: Think rusty revolvers, neon lights, and retro-futuristic muscle cars tearing through radioactive dust.
    • Immersive Exploration: From desolate canyons to rain-slicked tech hubs, the atmosphere is heavy and haunting.

    If you’re a fan of first-person action-adventures where your moral compass is the only thing keeping you alive, you need to wishlist this one.

    “In a world that lost its soul, yours is the only one that counts.”

    Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game is easy to learn, hard to master

    If you haven’t checked out Rooftops & Alleys yet, you’re missing out on the most fluid movement mechanics in years. No canned animations here—just pure, manual control and absolute flow.

    Unlike most AAA games, where parkour is just holding a single button, RNA gives you full agency over your character’s limbs and momentum. The developer (ML Media) has created something that feels less like a platformer and more like a true sports simulator.

    What makes it stand out:

    • True Manual Control: You time your jumps, tucks, and landings.
    • The Environments: Dense, vertical, and full of creative potential.
    • Constant Updates: The passion behind this project really shows in every patch.

    If you grew up playing Mirror’s Edge or just love technical movement, this belongs in your library.
