John Wick Arcade Game Heads to IAAPA 2026

Punks, John Wick is coming to Orlando. Blue Motion Games will show John Wick: Continental Pursuit, its two-seat motion shooter, at IAAPA Expo 2026 (16 to 20 November), and it is the first time the game has turned up live at the big American show.

It has been a busy year for the cabinet. It was unveiled at Amusement Expo in Las Vegas back in March, went into Dave & Buster’s across the US in May on a timed exclusive, and opened up to every venue worldwide in August. In September it made its European debut on Sega’s stand at IAAPA Expo Europe. Orlando is the last big stop of 2026.

What it is

This is a proper sit-down light-gun game, not a reskinned racer. Two players sit side by side in 3DOF motion seats, each holding a metal force-feedback pistol, in front of a 75-inch screen. The back of the cab is shaped like the rear of John’s 1969 Mustang, right down to a “BABAYAGA” number plate, and the seats rock, tilt and blow wind in your face while you shoot.

The story is pure John Wick: a contract is open on a crime boss called El Padrino, and every assassin in town wants the money. The game runs across three levels in New York, Miami and Guanajuato in Mexico, mixing car chases with boss fights, and each level lasts three to four minutes. Blue Motion says every stage has branching routes (take the subway or head downtown, hit the beach or fight through the city), so a second credit plays out differently from the first.

Lionsgate and Blue Motion’s July press release also mentions a live operations setup, so operators can get remote updates and new content over time. More levels would be very welcome.

Why it is at IAAPA

The real news for the trade is who is selling it. In August, AVS Companies signed up to distribute Blue Motion’s whole range in North America: John Wick, Desert Chase and CannonBall Jam. Orlando is the first IAAPA where the two firms share a booth (S1209), according to blooloop. Blue Motion is also bringing a tattoo artist who will put John Wick-style temporary tattoos on visitors, which is a very IAAPA thing to do.

It adds another big name to a show floor that is already stacked with licensed shooters, from Sega’s VR House of the Dead to Raw Thrills’ Godzilla. Our IAAPA 2026 preview has more of what is heading to Orlando.

Our take

A 3-metre tall motion cab is never going in anyone’s garage, but this is exactly the kind of machine that gets people back through arcade doors. John Wick and light guns are a natural fit (it is basically a film about very accurate shooting), and the Mustang seat is a lovely touch. One thing fans have noticed: there is no blood, which Arcade Heroes puts down to the arcade industry’s family-friendly rules. Has anyone played one at their local D&B yet? Let us know in the comments.
