Each of the four movies sees him reluctantly waging a one-man war on an underworld crime syndicate, each resulting in a reassuringly high body count (77, 128, 94 & 140 deaths per movie). The fourth John Wick movie was released in March 2023, with a fifth currently in development. The trailer contains clips from several movies, including the most recent John Wick: Chapter 4, suggesting Stern Pinball have access to assets to all four films. In addition, it sounds as though they have custom speech recorded by Ian McShane who plays the role of Winston, manager of the Continental Hotel in all four movies. He has previously recorded custom callouts for the John Wick Hex video game. Here’s the full trailer video. VIDEO We’ll be back tomorrow with full details of the three models of the John Wick game just as soon as they are revealed. _(Acquisition: raw_text, Enrichment: v1)_ --- *Exported from Journalist Tool on 2026-04-13 | Item ID: f3e01e90-ba99-452a-b63a-372d787ce32a*
