Bithell Games and publisher Big Fan have announced that fast-paced tactical game John Wick Hex is being delisted from all storefronts in just a couple of days.
As revealed in a news post on Steam, John Wick Hex will be removed from digital storefronts on July 17th. That includes PC and consoles; as the two studios say, as of that date, "new purchases of John Wick Hex will not be possible, regardless of platform or storefront".
However, if you do already own the game, then you'll still be able to play it after that date. That includes both physical and digital copies, thankfully, so it's not completely disappearing.
If you're not familiar with John Wick Hex, it's a tactical strategy game created by Thomas Was Alone and Subsurface Circular developer Mike Bithell under his Bithell Games label.
Announced in May 2019 and released in October that same year, the game takes place prior to the events of the popular John Wick movies. It sees the titular hitman descending into the underworld to rescue allies Winston and Charon from a new enemy calling himself Hex.
Gameplay-wise, John Wick Hex offers what Bithell calls "fight-choreographed chess brought to life as a video game", with the gameplay "capturing the series' signature gun fu style while expanding its story universe".
You can check out a trailer for John Wick Hex, which shows off the game's unique graphic novel art style and some of its tactical gameplay, right here.
Big Fan and Bithell Games didn't give any reason for the sudden delisting of John Wick Hex, but it's almost certainly got something to do with licensing rights, given that the game is based on an existing property.
If you do want to grab John Wick Hex before it's delisted, you can do so right now on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch (as well as their current-gen successors via backwards compatibility).
