John Wick Hex Delisting from Nintendo Switch eShop Set for July 17

John Wick Hex, the acclaimed tactical RPG based on the popular action film franchise, is set to be delisted from the Nintendo Switch eShop on July 17, 2024.

Developed by Bithell Games and published for Switch by Good Shepherd Entertainment, the title first arrived on the platform in December 2020, bringing its unique strategic gameplay and stylized action sequences to Nintendo fans. Publisher Big Fan Games recently confirmed that John Wick Hex will be removed from sale on the Nintendo Switch eShop.

Players who have already purchased the digital version of the game can rest assured that their copies will remain accessible and fully playable, even after the delisting date.

Similarly, physical editions of John Wick Hex for Nintendo Switch will remain unaffected, as boxed copies continue to function as normal. While the official announcement did not specify the exact reason for the game's delisting, industry precedents suggest that such decisions are often related to licensing agreements or publishing rights expiring.

This case is not unique to Nintendo Switch, as the removal will apply to all digital storefronts where John Wick Hex is currently available.

Consumers on other platforms will also lose the opportunity to purchase the digital version after July 17, 2024. John Wick Hex made an impact on the Nintendo Switch platform with its blend of tactical action and fast-paced strategy.

The game challenges players to make split-second decisions in a stylized representation of the John Wick universe, balancing resource management, movement, and combat in a top-down format.

Upon its release, it received positive attention for translating the film’s high-octane action into a thoughtful, methodical gameplay experience tailored for both fans of the genre and movie franchise. Good Shepherd Entertainment and developer Bithell Games previously released John Wick Hex in both digital and physical formats, giving Nintendo Switch players multiple ways to experience the title.

The upcoming delisting serves as a reminder that digital availability can be limited by contractual obligations. Players who have yet to add John Wick Hex to their digital library on the Nintendo Switch eShop are encouraged to make their purchase before the July 17 deadline.
