Lionsgate have announced that the VR experience based on the Keanu Reeves film John Wick is to be previewed next week at NYC’s Comic Con, where attendees will be treated to a 7 minute sneak peek of the Starbreeze developed title.
Part of Lionsgate’s efforts to move into the immersive content business, the virtual reality tie-in to their movie John Wick (2014), starring Keanu Reeves, has appeared on and off since its announcement in August of last year, but we’re still yet to get a handle on how the game, developed by Starbreeze, will shape up when it’s released late this year.
Now, Starbreeze and Lionsgate have announced that the most substantial peek at the title, entitled John Wick Chronicles: An Eye for an Eye, will be given at next week’s New York Comic Con where show attendees will get to go hands on with the HTC Vive version. The demo is reportedly around 7 minutes long. NYC’s Comic Con will run October 6-9 at the Javits Center.
The demo is part of a big push by Lionsgate at NYC’s Comic Con, where they’ll also be wheeling stars from the forthcoming John Wick sequel (imaginatively subtitled Chapter 2) out on stage at the show for a Q&A panel.
Starbreeze also notes that a “bite-sized” version of the full game, titled John Wick Chronicles: Arcade Edition, will appear on the company’s in-house developed 210 degree FOV StarVR headset at the opening of the first IMAX VR Center due to open in Los Angeles later this year.
