A new "John Wick" video game starring Keanu Reeves was unveiled at a PlayStation "State of Play" showcase on Thursday, while the gaming community also grappled with news of a mass shooting simulator created by the suspect in a Canadian school shooting. Additionally, a Steam beta update will allow users to add their PC specs to game reviews.
The "Untitled John Wick Game," developed by Saber Interactive, the studio behind Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, will feature Reeves' likeness and voice, and is expected to be a prequel to the film series, according to BBC Technology. The trailer for the game was revealed at the Sony event.
In other gaming news, the suspect in a British Columbia high school shooting had previously created a mass shooting simulator on the gaming platform Roblox, as reported by The Guardian. The platform has since removed the account after the incident, which resulted in nine deaths, including the shooter.
Meanwhile, Steam users will soon have the option to attach their hardware specifications to game reviews, thanks to a Steam Client Beta update released on Thursday, according to The Verge. This update will allow users to share their PC specs and also collect anonymized framerate data for monitoring game compatibility.
In other news, Wagner Moura and Kleber Mendonca Filho, the star and director of the political thriller "The Secret Agent," were delayed for an interview, according to Sky News, after a call from Brazil's president.
Finally, in a separate development, Jim O'Neill, the US deputy health secretary, discussed his plans to increase human healthspan through longevity-focused research supported by ARPA-H, during an exclusive interview with MIT Technology Review earlier this month.
