The only officially licensed game in the John Wick universe, John Wick Hex, is being removed from all platforms a mere six years after it released.
When you think about it, John Wick is as natural a fit for a video game adaptation as you could possibly ask for. Keanu Reeves is a one-man army, stylishly butchering dozens of hired guns at a time.
Not to mention, with strict rules found in The Continental, and plenty of intrigue surrounding The High Table and its members, it’s an IP ripe for the gaming industry. However, 11 years on from the first film’s release, despite rumblings of a big-budget project, just one proper game has seen the light of day.
John Wick Hex launched in 2019 as a top-down strategy game. It received mostly positive reviews, sitting at 74 on Metacritic. Though just six years on, it’s been confirmed that the game is not long for this world.
John Wick Hex being removed from all platforms
John Wick Hex is set to be removed from all platforms on July 17, 2025, as publisher Big Fan Games announced. What this means is that no one will be able to buy a new digital copy of the game beyond that date.
For existing owners, you’ll still be able to access the game through either your digital or physical copies. Thus, if you’ve ever considered checking it out, now would be the time to make the purchase. By the end of this week, you’ll seemingly never be able to buy John Wick Hex again, unless you can find a rare physical copy.
Big Fan Games did not provide a reason for this decision. Speculation points to the expiration of a license, but there’s no confirmation at the time of writing.
We’ve seen instances of licenses expiring for properties featured in games before, think of Death Stranding 1 and its use of Monster Energy. But entire games being de-listed is certainly a rarity.
Dexerto has reached out to Big Fan Games for comment and will update with any further information.
