The Mad Max video game, released in 2015, was a big hit, selling 1.8 million copies and ranking as the eighth best-selling game in the United States that year. Now, there’s exciting news that the game will be part of the upcoming Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Get all the details in this full news story.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga will feature the Mad Max video game
The Mad Max video game from 2015 might be connected to the new Mad Max spin-off movie called Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. The movie is set to come out in theaters on May 24, 2024, and internationally on May 22, 2024. It’s an action-packed adventure set in a world after an apocalypse. This film is a prequel to the 2015 movie Mad Max: Fury Road.
According to Drew McWeeny, who talks about movies, the script for the Furiosa movie shows that the Mad Max video game is part of the story for the new spin-off film.
However, there might be changes in the final film, but the trailer for Furiosa mentions Gas Town, a place from the game. According to a Reddit user, some Mad Max fans said that Warner Bros. let Avalanche use the Furiosa script for their game, even though Miller, the creator, didn’t agree.
It would explain things since Miller wasn’t really part of Avalanche’s game development. However, it’s just a rumor for now, so it’s better to take it with a grain of salt.
The Mad Max series is a trendy set of action movies. It all began with a cult-favorite film starring Mel Gibson and later got a lot of Oscars for Mad Max: Fury Road. George Miller, the creator, has mostly kept a close eye on the series.
After Mad Max: Fury Road, Mad Max was released in 2015. The game didn’t sell well because it came out around the same time as Metal Gear Solid V, and it didn’t have much promotion after Fury Road. But the people who played it liked it. It was a tough and exciting game where Max fights and has crazy car battles in the desert.
The Mad Max video game was different from another game they were going to make earlier, connected to Fury Road, with George Miller and Cory Barlog from God of War. The game by Avalanche, the one that actually came out, didn’t clearly fit into any specific story from the Mad Max movies. It kept things general, following the tone and lore of the films.
Now fans are excited to see what the upcoming Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga movie has in store.
