Mad Max Game Confirmed as Canon for Upcoming Furiosa Film
Hey there, fellow gamers! Have you ever played the 2015 Mad Max game? Well, get ready for some exciting news. According to Hollywood writer Drew McWeeny, the game may actually be canon for the upcoming blockbuster Furiosa. Yeah, you heard that right! This small detail adds another battle scar to the already peculiar IP battles within the Mad Max franchise.
Now, you might be wondering, who is Drew McWeeny? Well, he’s known for his work as both a critic and a writer over the years. He recently took to Twitter to share his excitement about the Furiosa film and mentioned that the script notes make it clear that the Mad Max video game is canon. How cool is that?
A Cool Detail for Mad Max Fans
If you’re a fan of Mad Max, especially the 2015 cult classic game, this news is bound to get you pumped. Developed by Avalanche Studios and Warner Bros, the game was a half-decent and unoffensive third-person action game that won over a lot of people, including myself, with its faithfulness to the Mad Max world. And you know why it was so faithful? Because it was developed using concepts created by none other than George Miller himself, the mastermind behind the Mad Max franchise.
But here’s where things get interesting. George Miller had been trying to get a Mad Max video game out there for years. Back in 2008, he even co-wrote a game with Corey Balrog, but unfortunately, it was cancelled by Warner Bros. It wasn’t until Avalanche Studios took matters into their own hands that we got the Mad Max game we know and love today. They utilized years of stories, art, and characters to create a game that truly captured the essence of the Mad Max universe.
A Tragic Problem with a Slick Idea
But wait, there’s more! According to a video from Youtuber Mad Max Bible, the game was initially believed to be non-canon. However, that was six years ago. What’s even more interesting is that the game might actually spoil some plot points for Furiosa. Without giving too much away, let’s just say that a character called Dr. Dementus, who plays a significant role in the game, shares the same name as a character played by Chris Hemsworth in the upcoming film. Coincidence? I think not.
So, if you’re planning on going into Furiosa completely blind, you might want to steer clear of the game until the film is released. It’s a bit unfortunate, really. The idea of having all Mad Max media interconnected is pretty slick, but it does come with its fair share of spoilery issues like these.
