The trade show portion of Amusement Expo 2026 has just got underway, and two companies are using the first day of the event to unveil their latest, big-name games. As mentioned in the headline, Blue Motion Games have got the first ever arcade video game based on John Wick. Let’s take a look…
John Wick: Continental Pursuit
John Wick likely doesn’t need much of an introduction, although if you aren’t familiar with it, here’s the first film’s IMDB listing. The franchise did grace arcades with a Stern Pinball release back in 2024, but Blue Motion Games is now making a proper video light-gun game out of it. This comes in a two seater motion simulator unit, with a moving base, wind effects, 7.1ch surround sound and force feedback guns:
Here is a photo of the guns for the prototype – this is not the color that they will use in the production release. They have some heft to them thanks to the metallic casing, but are slightly different from a real pistol, with an elongated trigger guard.
As the show just started, I have not had the chance to play it and record detailed videos of the machine in action; however, there is this quick one, and longer clips will still be posted soon, along with additional details.
We do also have a press release to share, which announces that this will first appear at Dave & Busters nationwide, starting on May 11th. Note that the game will also be made available in “Canada, Europe, Middle East, and South America” in the coming months, though it will be exclusive to D&B in the United States throughout the Summer. There is additionally a press conference taking place at Amusement Expo, which I will be recording and sharing later.

LIONSGATE ENTERS ARCADE GAME WORLD WITH
“JOHN WICK: CONTINENTAL PURSUIT”
Blue Motion Games To Develop Game With National Rollout Planned at Dave & Buster’s This Summer
Los Angeles, CA – March 18, 2026 – In collaboration with Lionsgate, Blue Motion Games, a rising player in high-performing arcade and immersive entertainment solutions, is bringing an all-new John Wick arcade game to the market with a national rollout of the game taking place at Dave & Buster’s this summer. Inspired by the pure adrenaline and high-octane action found in the blockbuster movie franchise, John Wick: Continental Pursuit is set to deliver a cinematic gameplay experience. Dave & Buster’s – one of North America’s largest arcade entertainment brands – will exclusively debut the game across all U.S. locations beginning May 11th, positioning the brand as the national launch partner for one of the most anticipated arcade titles of the year.
John Wick: Continental Pursuit will be available as a 2-seater arcade game at launch. By leveraging the popularity of John Wick, the collaboration aims to attract fans eager to immerse themselves in the modern neo noir world they know and love. The game will combine the storytelling power of Lionsgate’s iconic action franchise with Blue Motion Games’ cutting-edge expertise in motion-based, cinematic arcade design. Unlike traditional arcade shooters that rely on static viewpoints, BMG’s system integrates motion platforms, environmental effects, and scene-driven pacing, so players feel physically immersed in the action.
“We’re thrilled to see John Wick make its debut in the arcade gaming space,” said Gene Rogers, Senior Vice President of Production & Operations, Global Products and Experiences at Lionsgate. “This collaboration creates an exciting opportunity to connect with fans and bring the brand to life in an interactive, engaging way.”
“At Dave & Buster’s, we’re committed to delivering first-to-market entertainment that our guests can’t experience anywhere else,” said Putnam Shin, Chief Entertainment Officer at Dave & Buster’s. “Bringing John Wick: Continental Pursuit to all U.S. locations as the exclusive launch partner underscores our focus on immersive, high-adrenaline gameplay that turns blockbuster franchises into unforgettable, in-person experiences.”
“Fans don’t just want to watch movies—they want to live them,” said Salim Sabbagha, President of Blue Motion Games. “Together with Lionsgate, we’re delivering that fantasy in the arcade space. This is not just a game; it’s pure adrenaline for players and a powerhouse for operators.”
For updates about the game’s summer roll out, fans are encouraged to follow Dave & Buster’s official channels.
