John Wick Hex Delisting: The Only Official John Wick Game Is Disappearing

John Wick Hex, developed by Bithell Games, takes a strategic approach to the John Wick universe, diverging from the run-and-gun action typically associated with the franchise. The game combines real-time and turn-based strategy, requiring players to manage time, resources, and positioning to succeed. Each action consumes time, forcing players to think tactically and anticipate enemy movements.
