A new "John Wick" video game starring Keanu Reeves was unveiled at a PlayStation "State of Play" showcase on Thursday, while a separate incident saw a suspect in a Canadian school shooting create a mass shooting simulator on the gaming platform Roblox. Meanwhile, Steam users will soon be able to attach their hardware specs to game reviews, according to a recent beta update.
The "Untitled John Wick Game," developed by Saber Interactive and with input from film franchise director Chad Stahelski, will feature the likeness and voice of Keanu Reeves, according to BBC Technology. The game is expected to be a prequel to the popular action film series. The PlayStation showcase also revealed several remakes of major game franchises, including God of War.
In a separate development, an 18-year-old suspect in a high school shooting in British Columbia had previously created a mass shooting simulator on the gaming platform Roblox, as reported by The Guardian. The platform has since removed the account following the incident, which resulted in the deaths of nine people, including the shooter.
In other gaming news, Steam users will soon be able to add their PC specifications 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.
In other news, the US deputy health secretary, Jim O'Neill, recently discussed plans to increase human healthspan through longevity-focused research supported by ARPA-H, according to MIT Technology Review.
