John Wick video game John Wick Hex is being delisted

John Wick Hex is being removed from Steam (and all other platforms) this week, according to a statement released by the game’s publisher, Big Fan Games.
“John Wick Hex will be removed from sale on all platforms beginning July 17th, 2025,” the statement shared on the game’s Steam page reads. “After July 17th, 2025, existing owners of John Wick Hex will still be able to access the game via their digital libraries (PC/Console) and/or physical copies (Console), however new purchases of John Wick Hex will not be possible, regardless of platform or storefront.”
Developed by Bithell Games and released in 2020, John Wick Hex is a cel-shaded tactical strategy game in which players take on the role of the king of revenge himself. The game plays a bit like a board game, and its combat is time-based, not turn-based, so in addition to managing health and ammo, players must also manage the most valuable resource of all: time. Each action eats up some of that time, from a fraction of a second to reload, to multiple seconds to bandage up wounds. Run out of time, and you fail the mission.
Big Fan Games’ statement didn’t detail the reason for the game’s impending removal, but given the fact that the publisher is mainly known for publishing licensed games, it’s possible the publisher’s license to use the John Wick IP has expired and not been renewed. John Wick Hex is currently the only official John Wick game on the market.
Polygon has reached out to Bithell Games for comment and will update when the company responds.
