Lionsgate (NYSE:LGF), a premier next generation global content leader, announced today that it is partnering with leading game developer and publisher Starbreeze (STAR:OMX) to launch a first-person shooter game in virtual reality (VR) based on Lionsgate’s box office hit John Wick. Best in class virtual reality studio and distributor WEVR, the company responsible for theBlu: Encounter, which was used to introduce the HTC Vive VR platform earlier this year, will transport players with the creation of a fully immersive VR experience that will introduce the game. Grab, the acclaimed development team with extensive mobile games and VR experience, will spearhead the development. Starbreeze will be publishing the product across multiple VR platforms.
Starting soon, fans can check out a promotional experience of the game at select events and stops on the HTC Vive World Tour, which is making its way through the United States and Europe. A teaser game will be available at the launch of HTC Vive and available via SteamVR, with the launch timing to be unveiled later this year. The full game is expected to be available on most existing VR headsets in Spring 2016.
Being able to bring you a first look at content like this, especially because of the heavily interactive aspect of the Vive’s room scale technology, is what drives our work and partnerships in the virtual reality space. We aim to bring the most immersive VR experience to you and continue to be excited about what developers are creating.
