If you stumbled out of Mad Max: Fury Road with your brain ablaze and your eyes still watering, you may have looked to the sky and roared, “I wanna die historic on the Fury Road!” Fortunately there’s a safer option than waiting for the apocalypse or reaching for a can of silver spray paint as the tie-in video game is on the way and has a trailer online.
Yes, your chance to drive like a lunatic around the barren wastelands of George Miller’s latest is headed to the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC on September 1, with Eye Of The Storm. The game, which is considered canon, finds Max (with Bren Foster providing vocal input instead of the film’s Tom Hardy) trying to track down his stolen V8 Interceptor. It’s a mission that will lead him into the dangerous locale of Gas Town and an encounter with the delightfully named Scabrous Scrotus who, you will not be surprised to learn, is the hitherto unseen third son of the movie’s big bad, Immortan Joe.
And there will be plenty of chances to square off with the War Boys while destroying all manner of vehicles. If the game turns out well, place your bets on the first outlet to use the headline, “What a game! What a lovely game!”
