John Wick Hex<\/a>, a stylish and well-received game<\/a> based on the John Wick movies, will soon no longer be available to purchase. In a statement<\/a> on the title\u2019s Steam page, publisher Big Fan Games says it will be delisted from all platforms on July 17.<\/p>\n

After that date, the publisher said, those who have already acquired the tactical action game from a digital storefront will still be able to download it. Physical console copies will still work too.<\/p>\n

Big Fan didn\u2019t provide an explanation as to why John Wick Hex is being removed from storefronts, though licensing issues may be at play. Mike Bithell, creative director at developer Bithell Games, said on BlueSky<\/a> he was “unable to shed any light” on the reason for the delisting.<\/p>\n

“This one was a weird journey. [It] initially polarized folks, but now it\u2019s one of the consistent favourites people wanna chat with me about when I\u2019m doing public stuff,” wrote Bithell<\/a>, who came to prominence with Thomas Was Alone and whose most recently released game was Tron Catalyst. “My first disappeared game, a weird feeling.”<\/p>\n

It’s always a shame to see a game vanish from storefronts. It’s terrible for game preservation<\/a>, and it means those who made the game will never be able to find a larger audience for it. You still have a couple of days to pick up John Wick Hex, however. It’s on sale at Humble<\/a>, where Steam keys are available for $4, or 80 percent off.<\/p>\n
