VR studion WEVR, företaget bakom theBlu: Encounter, och VR utvecklaren Grab står för utvecklingen av spelet medan Starbreeze står som förläggare när spelet skall släpps på ett flertal olika VR-plattformar.
Vidare kommer Starbreeze att utöka John Wicks närvaro i Payday 2 där de två olika spelen kan ha interaktionspunkter i vissa spelmoment och i sin marknadsföring.
"Lionsgate är ledande i sin bransch, kända för att introducera orginella, provokativa och engagernade historier; perfekta grundsstenar för ett spännande spel", sa Bo Andersson Klint, Starbreeze vd. "Karaktären John Wick älskades av våra spelare när han introducerades i Payday 2, det är fantastiskt att få sammarbeta med studion och det kreativa teamet bakom John Wick igen."
