Sure, let’s take a wild ride with this one:

Alright, so here’s the deal with John Wick Hex—Big Fan Games just dropped this bomb that they’re pulling it off the digital shelves come July 17. Yep, no more buysie-buys for Wick fans on any platform. Why? No clue, they just said it’s happening. Maybe the stars weren’t aligning, or could it be a weird marketing ploy? I guess we’ll never know.
So, John Wick Hex. Developed by Bithell Games, it’s this tactical RPG set smack dab in the Wick-iverse. Ever wanted to be the boogeyman himself, John? Well, here’s your chance to duck and dive through mayhem to save Winston and Charon from a dude named Hex. Weird name, I know. The game hit PCs and macOS first in 2019—some lucky folks were early birds there. By 2020, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch were in on the action.
Gotta mention, the voices! Ian McShane, Lance Reddick… Troy Baker playing the villain! It’s like a mini-reunion of sorts, and who doesn’t love that? But, as the sole official game, its days are numbered now.
The big question—why the vanish act? Big Fan Games is mum on details. Maybe low-key sales? I wouldn’t bet against it. Critics have mixed feels, though, some dig its comic book vibes and storytelling. Others? Not much love for the gameplay. Can’t win them all, right?
But hey, some bright news. There’s a new John Wick game brewing somewhere in the AAA universe, or so Lionsgate whispers. No major deets yet, so we’ll just have to twiddle our thumbs and wait.
Before John Wick Hex makes its exit, you might still catch it on places like the PlayStation Store or Steam. At least until July 17, that is. After that, it’s just a part of gaming history. It’s kinda bittersweet, like those weirdly satisfying ending credits of a movie.
And in a kinda related sidenote—there’s an animated prequel flick coming too. Good ol’ Keanu Reeves is producing it. Can’t deny the dude’s dedication, huh?
So, if you’ve got this itch to own a piece of the Wick legend, now’s your moment. Or sit tight and hope the new AAA game doesn’t keep us on a cliffhanger forever. Fingers crossed, right?
