Directed by Mike Bithell, the man behind the acclaimed indie puzzle platformer Thomas Was Alone, the game will be a tactical role-playing strategy adventure following the titular assassin in an original story created for it, and while it’s currently unclear how many stars from the film will return for the game, Lance Reddick (Fringe) did return to reprise his role as The Continental’s concierge Charon for the trailer, and Ian McShane will also voice his fan-favorite character Winston, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Fans of the Keanu Reeves-led action franchise have had a chance to play the legendary hitman in 2013’s heist shooter Payday 2 through a downloadable content pack in 2015 that brought wick into the game through a partnership between Overkill Software and Lionsgate, as well as a skin mod on Fortnite, but this will be the first project in which he will be the focus of his own game.
