Third-person Gun Fu action game SPINE showed off a new gameplay trailer at Future Games Show this week, and I know it’s early days, but it may be the John Wick game we’ve all been waiting for. SPINE is not scheduled to release until late 2025 for PC and consoles, but this new look at gameplay is a delicious appetizer, offering a look at its parkour, gunplay, boss fights, and, of course, finishing moves. SPINE knows what it is trying to be, with callbacks to popular action movies, including a hallway fight scene that may remind you of a certain film.
Beyond the hard-hitting combat, SPINE is story-driven at its core, with players assuming the role of a street artist called Redline, who can channel her inner Mr. Wick thanks to a sentient combat implant. The game is being developed in Unreal Engine 5 and features camerawork and choreography done by action movie stunt specialists to create a truly cinematic feel to the gameplay. Check it out:
