There should be an Open World Free Roam, Real Time Action Shooter, Criminal Empire Builder, Business Simulator set within the John Wick universe, combining the strategic empire management of The Godfather II, the large scale warfare of Dynasty Warriors and the player created strongholds of Meet Your Maker. 🏦🌎

Create and lead your own custom criminal organization under the rule of the High Table, choosing any location in the world to establish your operations. Follow the laws of the underworld or risk sanctions, asset seizures or execution, permanently ending your boss character and forcing your empire to continue under a successor as your next character. Compete for territory, influence, resources and contracts against rival organizations, procedurally generated factions and iconic groups from the films. The High Table remains the world’s dominant power, with the Continental acting as its strongest ally. Recruit, train, and equip bodyguards, lieutenants, generals and second in commands with specialized weapons, armor, vehicles, combat styles, personalities and leadership roles. Each commander oversees their own forces and can be developed to fit your preferred strategy. Design and fortify headquarters, safehouses, businesses and defensive networks with virtually limited building capacity except for the headquarters which progresses levelling up. Receive notifications when any of your properties are under attack. Other players or AI controlled organizations can infiltrate, raid, sabotage or launch assassination attempts against your empire, including direct boss versus boss encounters. Alternatively, play as a hired assassin yourself to infiltrate bases and even accept contracts to eliminate miscellaneous AI wanted individuals or destroy enemy operations. Test your defenses through a private simulation scenario, including a special “What If?” scene where an unstoppable John Wick assaults your empire. Analyze weaknesses, improve security, and measure how long your defenses can delay the Baba Yaga before he reaches you. Death has lasting consequences. If you the boss is killed, you permanently lose their personal inventory, skill tree and a percentage of your empire’s resources. A new character must then rise through the ranks and assume control, creating a generational cycle of leadership until your empire is dead. In single player, victory is achieved by becoming the last surviving organization standing.

Boss and second in command progression systems feature massive long term customization with extensive skill trees, while lower ranking officers have more limited growth and are replaced upon death. Your headquarters can be customized however you wish, from fortified compounds to luxurious nightclubs. With a wide variety of building options, one can include dance floors, functions as neutral close quarter zones where both parties standing within it, firearms cannot be used, forcing pursuits, negotiations or close quarters combat as a tribute to the films, unless you’re skilled enough to shoot over the crowed if both are on the opposite sides of the build (one or the other are not on the dance floor). If two rival leaders repeatedly fail to eliminate one another in a long lasting stalemate, both may agree to a formal duel inspired by John Wick: Chapter 4. Participants negotiate the terms, including weapon type (pistols, revolvers, swords, knives or custom choices), distance, location, number of rounds, armor restrictions, medical support and victory conditions. The duel is conducted personally by the leaders, with honor, reputation and potentially entire empires at stake if you’re feeling lucky. Ultimately the purpose of this game is to experience power hungry action and thrive as long as possible.

What do you guys think about this video game idea? 🙂

Let me know if I should elaborate any of them in detail on a separate post. 🤙 I appreciate it.

1 A Top Down Shooter, Tactical Action, Indie game like Hotline Miami, except you play as characters from the GTA series with their own starting firearms, like Trevor Phillips, CJ Carl Johnson, Micheal De Santa, Franklin Clinton, Claud Speed, Tommy Vercetti, Nikko Bellic, etc and bonus Rebecca from Cyberpunk Edgerunners (only one with an enhanced ability of a sort). Overtime progressing through levels, you can upgrade and modify each of the characters weapons to your play style.

2 An intense Fighting Action game like Immortal Kombat, except you play as characters from the Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss series, like Charlie Morningstar, Lucifer Morningstar (he can’t harm sinners so he has other sinners to do his fighting moves and when he uses anything “fire”, it’s cyphered/lent to the sinners control to cast), Alastor, Nifty, Husk, Vox, Cherri Bomb, Loona, Blitzo, Moxxie, Millie, etc and bonus Freddy Krueger, all with their own lore accurate unique powers.

3 A chaotic Vehicular Combat, Demolition Derby, Racing Action game like a mix of Twisted Metal and Road Redemption, where drivers compete in massive arenas, junkyards, cities and stunt tracks. Customize and destroy hundreds of vehicles, from muscle cars and monster trucks to armored death machines, own customizable and modifiable weaponry, with realistic damage, chaotic crashes and last-driver-standing survival modes. Bonus Doom Slayer with his own ride of destruction.

4 An Endless Action, Open World, Adventure Survival game where you play as a convicted prisoner attempting a daring escape from a high security prison, like The Escapist. Once free, the game becomes a relentless fight for survival, blending the open world freedom of GTA with the tension and stealth mechanics of Manhunt. Evade police, bounty hunters, rival gangs and other threats while scavenging resources, finding safehouses, stealing vehicles and staying one step ahead of capture until meeting your demise.

5 An Psychological Horror, Walking Simulator, Survival game of The Backrooms. You can drop in solo or with one NPC friend (even they could get lost) or Player two, exploring levels that just keep going. No map, just new spaces that always feel like you’re the first person to ever discover them. It’d be this mix of exploration, survival and quiet dread where the world never really ends with no sense of time where you’re stuck between reality and nowhere.

There should be an open world RPG game set in the world of Invincible to be as immersed as Red Dead Redemption 2 where you can travel anywhere on earth and the moon itself somehow (primarily focused in the one city from the show). This is what I had in mind. 👊💥

The single player mode could let you choose between different Mark variants at the start of the game, each with their own personality, reputation and dialogue choices that shape the story doing main and side missions. Your actions would affect a morality system that determines whether you become a respected hero, feared anti hero or outright villain and who you would become enemies and allies with characters from the show. Every major choice would matter, leading to multiple endings ranging from saving Earth to completely taking it over or destroying it completely. The world itself should feel alive and reactive. Cities rebuild after massive fights, civilians remember your actions, governments respond differently depending on how destructive you are and heroes or villains may either support you or hunt you down. Side missions could even let you temporarily switch between characters from the show in your squad, similar to how certain RPGs handle party systems including a level up system. Imagine building your own roster of heroes or villains and leveling each one up individually with unique abilities, combo attacks and specializations. For multiplayer, players could create their own custom hero or villain with unique power sets, origins, fighting styles and appearance customization similar to City Of Heros/Villains. Your reputation system would determine how the world sees you. Heroes, anti heroes and villains would all have different mission paths, safe zones, enemies and rewards. It’ll be harder to become a hero after becoming a villain to the point it wouldn’t be worth changing sides to punish the indecisive. Villains could build criminal empires, control territory, run underground operations, recruit other players into factions and wage wars against rival groups similar to gang systems from games like Crime Craft Gangwars or Grand Theft Auto V. Heroes would work to stop large scale threats, rescue civilians during live events, other active threats by villain players and reclaim territory from villain factions for Cecil. Anti heroes could operate in the middle ground by hunting bounties, taking contracts and deciding who deserves justice and who deserves punishment. Flying shouldn’t just be fast travel either, it should feel powerful. Breaking the sound barrier over the city, potentially send civilians and vehicles flying, making flyers aware to avoid property damage, intercepting meteors or chasing another player across an entire continent should all feel intense and cinematic. Non flying players could still compete through advanced vehicles, teleportation tech, power armor or other traversal systems with an addition option to hire one regular body guard with one minor power and weapon of your choice (for them) to compensate not being able to fly.

As your reputation grows, players could eventually gain access to high level missions from Cecil and the Guardians of the Globe. These would function almost like raids or bigger world events or straight up boss fights requiring teamwork and strategy rather than just raw power. One mission could involve stopping an alien invasion, while another could send players into alternate dimensions filled with twisted versions of familiar evil characters. The alternate reality idea alone has insane potential. Imagine entering a destroyed Earth ruled by an evil Mark variant from a failed campaign ending, where the skyline is ruined, heroes are dead and surviving resistance fighters barely trust you. The combat system should feel like a mix of Dragon Ball Z Sparkling Zero and Wuthering Waves, combining fast paced cinematic action with skill based combat focused on parries, counters, dodges, blocks, combos, signatures and finishers instead of button mashing. Light, medium and heavy attacks would each serve different purposes, while every character or custom build would have unique fighting styles, abilities, combo chains and special moves. Maybe even have your own custom movesets put into a combo after a successful set of buttons/motions. Combat should fully embrace destruction and seamless transitions, allowing players to throw or tackle enemies through buildings, across cities, into the sky and even into space or onto the Moon with no loading screens. PvE and PvP fights would feel dynamic depending on the environment, especially in space where movement and survivability change entirely. Health and stamina bars would play a major role, affecting flight speed, dodging, blocking, combos and recovery. Hunger would also matter, since keeping your character fed improves stamina and health regeneration, while limited food storage prevents players from abusing healing during fights. To make fights feel impactful, injuries like broken bones or internal damage could temporarily affect performance after major battles, including being able to use your custom movesets for example. Finishers would also change based on morality, heroes restrain enemies, anti-heroes fight ruthlessly and villains execute opponents in brutal ways (blood and gore) that affect their reputation throughout the world.
