A new "John Wick" video game starring Keanu Reeves is in development, while a separate investigation is underway into a mass shooting simulator created by the suspect in a Canadian school shooting. Additionally, a new Steam beta update will allow users to add their PC specs to game reviews.
The "Untitled John Wick Game," as it is currently known, will feature the likeness and voice of Keanu Reeves, according to BBC Technology. The game, developed by Saber Interactive, the studio behind Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, and with input from film franchise director Chad Stahelski, is expected to be a prequel to the series. A trailer for the game was unveiled at PlayStation's "State of Play" showcase on Thursday.
In other gaming news, The Guardian reported that the suspect in a British Columbia high school shooting had previously created a mass shooting simulator on the gaming platform Roblox. The simulator, which has since been removed by Roblox, was set in what appeared to be a school environment. The shooting left nine people, including the shooter, dead.
Meanwhile, Steam users will soon have the option to attach their hardware specs to game reviews, according to The Verge. This feature is part of a Steam Client Beta update released on Thursday. Valve is also adding an option to collect anonymized framerate data for monitoring game compatibility.
