Nicole T.The "John Wick" film franchise will be releasing its second movie in February 10. Coinciding with the film's release, Starbreeze and Lionsgate announced the upcoming arrival of the new virtual reality game "John Wick Chronicles."

"John Wick Chronicles" explores various familiar places found in the film. For example, they can step into the Continental Hotel where some of the targets are. Players will take the role of the titular assassin portrayed by Keanu Reeves, tasked to bring down almost unbeatable foes.
