📺 Mad Max Game Ties into Upcoming Furiosa Movie

Mad Max Video Game is canon to Furiosa: The world of Mad Max is expanding in an exciting way with Avalanche Studios' 2015 Mad Max video game. Avalanche's game tells a standalone story that ties directly into the Mad Max franchise. The upcoming movie Furiosa - The Mad Max Saga, releasing in 2024 by Warner Bros, is confirmed to be canon with the 2015 Mad Max game. Noted film critic Drew McWeeny revealed, after reviewing the script, that George Miller and the screenplay writers have meticulously intertwined the movie's plot with the game's storyline, solidifying its place within the Mad Max films.


This revelation, detailed in Comic Book, adds a new layer of depth to the Mad Max universe, originally staring Mel Gibson, bridging the gap between interactive gaming and cinematic storytelling, and enriching the Mad Max franchise and Mad Max movies. Starring Anya Taylor Joy and Chris Hemsworth, the Furiosa movie is set to offer a rich narrative experience that complements the game, which also features elements connected to Mel Gibson's portrayal of the character. The game's release coincided with Metal Gear Solid V, impacting its sales, as noted by Avalanche co-founder Christofer Sundberg, who expressed frustration over the competition with Metal Gear.


Are you a fan of the Mad Max series, both in its cinematic and gaming forms? The potential for a new Mad Max game continues to intrigue fans and could further cement the franchise's impact on pop culture.
