In brief
John Wick prequel reveals how Baba Yaga's legend began. Saber Interactive's upcoming John Wick game will explain Jardani Jovonovich's transformation into the Baba Yaga through his Ruska Roma training and underworld connections. Originally reported by ScreenRant.
John Wick's Origin Mystery
John Wick entered the franchise as a legend whose reputation preceded him, but the story of how Jardani Jovonovich became the Baba Yaga remains surprisingly incomplete.
Baba Yaga's Unanswered Questions
The films have gradually filled in pieces of his past, revealing his Belarusian origins, his connection to the Ruska Roma, and the brutal training that helped transform him into one of the underworld's most feared assassins.
Prequel to Rewrite Origin
Saber Interactive's untitled John Wick game has an opportunity to fill in some of the most important missing years in the Baba Yaga's history.
Timeline Before Impossible Task
The project is officially set years before John's infamous Impossible Task, placing it in a period when he was still an active assassin rather than the retired killer introduced in the original film.
Expanding Franchise Lore
Saber also says its original narrative will expand the franchise's lore with both familiar and entirely new characters, making this much more than a loose side story.
Game Features
The game is a AAA, single-player, third-person action game built around Wick's signature gun-fu, combining firearms and close-quarters combat with cinematic camerawork.
Release Timeline
Saber Interactive lists the game as TBA with no confirmed release year, but early industry estimates place a potential launch in 2027 or 2028, with 2028 as the strongest indication of when Wick's next gaming appearance might arrive.
Here's the gist
Saber Interactive's upcoming John Wick game will explain Jardani Jovonovich's transformation into the Baba Yaga through his Ruska Roma training and underworld connections.
