Download also includes the “Hitman” perk, providing the ability to wield dual weapons a new pistol and knife three kinds of sunglasses. Starbreeze Studio’s Overkill Software created the downloadable version of John Wick, available on the Steam platform, working closely with the film’s producers at Thunder Road Pictures. “We’re delighted to capitalize on this opportunity to collaborate with a world-class partner like Starbreeze whose unique action community includes millions of our target fans.” “Lionsgate’s entry into the game space is continuing to build momentum with the addition of another great partner and a tremendous piece of IP,” said Peter Levin, Lionsgate’s president of interactive ventures and games.

The game is a sequel to 2011’s “Payday: The Heist.” “Payday 2,” distributed by 505 Games, has players run around Washington, D.C., as they carry out heists like bank robberies and drug traffic runs with a team.

“The hyper-real action sequences in the film almost make you feel like you’re watching an insane video game, so we cannot wait to see John Wick in theaters as well as experience him in the game,” said Danielle DePalma, Lionsgate executive VP of digital marketing. Instead of spending considerable coin to create a full game based on the film, the company will instead offer up its lead to gamers - the same male demo the studio is looking to target with the hardcore actioner. The free update, available two days before the film’s release, is a pretty imaginative marketing move from Lionsgate. For anyone who may think the action in Keanu Reeves’ “ John Wick” plays out like a video game, they’re in luck: The hit man will become available as a free downloadable character to integrate into “ Payday 2.”
