Official John Wick Game to Be Delisted Soon
▼ Summary
– John Wick Hex will be removed from sale on all platforms starting July 17, 2025, as announced by publisher Big Fan Games.
– Existing owners can still access the game via their digital libraries or physical copies, but new purchases will no longer be available.
– Developed by Bithell Games in 2020, John Wick Hex is a cel-shaded tactical strategy game featuring time-based combat mechanics.
– The game requires players to manage time as a key resource, with each action consuming varying amounts of time to succeed in missions.
– The removal may be due to an expired or unrenewed license for the John Wick IP, though the publisher did not specify the reason.
Fans of the John Wick franchise have limited time to purchase the official video game adaptation before it disappears from digital storefronts. John Wick Hex, the tactical strategy title based on the iconic action film series, will no longer be available for purchase after July 17, 2025. The announcement came directly from publisher Big Fan Games via the game’s Steam page.
While new sales will cease, players who already own the game, whether digitally or physically, will retain access through their libraries. This means existing owners can continue playing, but newcomers will miss their chance unless they act before the delisting date.
Released in 2020 by Bithell Games, John Wick Hex offers a unique twist on tactical gameplay. Instead of traditional turn-based mechanics, the game operates on a time-based system where every action, from reloading to healing, consumes precious seconds. Players must carefully strategize their moves, mirroring the precision and intensity of the films. The cel-shaded art style further enhances its distinctive aesthetic.
The publisher did not specify why the game is being pulled, but industry observers speculate it may relate to licensing. Big Fan Games specializes in licensed titles, and the John Wick intellectual property agreement could be expiring without renewal. For now, John Wick Hex remains the sole officially licensed game tied to the franchise, making its impending removal a significant loss for fans of the series.
Those interested in experiencing the game’s blend of strategy and high-stakes action should consider securing a copy before the July deadline. Once removed, the only way to play will be through existing purchases or second-hand physical copies.
