John Wick: Chapter 3 releases this month and a new video game has been revealed starring the iconic soldier. However, it's probably not what you think.

Called John Wick Hex, this strategy title that has players won't be taking on waves of enemies like in the films. Instead, you'll plan and strategize your movements and attacks similar to an active RTS.

The artstyle is cell-shaded, which seems strange considering that the films didn't feature such an artstyle.

Created in close cooperation with the creative teams behind the films, John Wick Hex is fight-choreographed chess brought to life as a video game, capturing the series’ signature gun fu style while expanding its story universe. Players must choose every action and attack they make, while considering their immediate cost and consequences. Every move in John Wick Hex feels like a scene from the movies, and every fight contributes to your progress on the job and requires precise strategic thinking.

Perform well and progress in the main story mode (which features an original story created for the game) to unlock new weapons, suit options and locations. Each weapon changes up the tactics you’ll use and the manner in which you’ll play. Ammo is finite and realistically simulated, so time your reloads and make the most of weapons you scavenge on the job.

John Wick Hex complements the style of the films with a unique graphic noir art design and features the world class voice talents of Ian McShane and Lance Reddick amongst its stellar cast, with more to be revealed later.

No release date has been provided for John Wick Hex.
