force. A deeper layer of redemption runs through it, as John fights to break free from his violent
history and the relentless hold of the High Table.
Setting
The game will be set in multiple locations but most of them are urban cities and streets, a fishing port,
bars, dessert areas, and the hotel.

seeking a way to lift his excommunicado status. Along his journey, he confronts formidable foes,
forges unexpected alliances, and unearths the High Table’s shadowy secrets. The game would blend
intense, action-packed sequences with deeper, story-driven moments that highlight character growth.

offering tasks like cracking codes or tracking down targets to keep things engaging.
Shifting Focus
In the game, the storyline would alternate between John’s struggle to survive on a personal level and
his larger conflict with the overarching power of the High Table.
Suspension of Disbelief
Like the movie, the game would ask players to suspend disbelief when it comes to John Wick’s near-

Realism
To maintain the realism. Gunplay animations should be realistic. The martial arts move used should
be practical. Player must be punished for choosing the wrong combo(e.g. inflict greater damage to the
player). Moves must be timed correctlyto be effective. Resource management is also part of the
mechanic. Too much items in the inventory makes you slow, while too little makes you vulnerable
