When the very firstMad Maxmovie was released in 1979, no one could have predicted the heights to which the franchise would climb. Since then, there have been six feature-length films, and the franchise has also branched out into other forms of media, such as comics and video games.
With the release ofFuriosa: A Mad Max Saga, George Miller has been asked a lot about the movie and the future of the franchise. One question asked was whether he ever envisioned another video game for the franchise, and Miller said it could only be done by a very specific person.
Mad Max Director George Miller Trusts Hideo Kojima Implicitly
The release ofMad Max: Fury Roadled to the launch of theMad Maxgame. You would not have been faulted for dismissing the title as just another movie spin-off, as those games are rarely good. But this one was surprisingly entertaining!

Developed by Avalanche Studios, the 2015 open-world action-adventure title combined elements from several games. The combat system in the game was very similar to theArkhamfranchise; the driving was reminiscent ofBurnoutorTwisted Metal, and it even had some features of survival games. Not Game of the Year material, but fun nonetheless.

However, it appears George Miller was not very happy with that launch. When asked during the premiere ofFuriosaif there would be another game coming, he recounted the title launched withFury Road, saying it “wasn’t as good as I wanted it to be” due to not having much direct involvement in the project.

Miller stated that he only wishes to take on projects that he can complete at the highest level. He then says he recently met Hideo Kojima,best known as the creator of theMetal Gear Solidfranchise, at the premiere and would be happy if “someone” like him was to take on the project.” Kojima had earlier expressed his admiration for Miller’s latest film on X and even went so far as to say, “the SAGA that he tells is my Bible.”
Hideo Kojima’s Mad Max Title Could be a Truly Unique Experience
If there is one thing Kojima is known for, it’s thinking outside the box. HisMetal Gear Solidgames offered some truly innovative features, withMetal Gear Solid 3: Subsistenceoffering a variety of unique game mechanisms. Such a game should not be expected anytime soon, though, as Kojima must be busy with the final development phases ofDeath Stranding 2: On the Beach.

If Kojima ever decides to take up such a project, it would be interesting to see his perspective on theMad Maxuniverse. It is far more action-packed than his usual games, but the Metal Gear franchise has shown Kojima is no stranger to surreal and bizarre universes.
Ever since he departed from Konami, people have been following Kojima’s moves very closely. The man is close to many directors in Hollywood and worked with Guillermo del Toro for bothDeath Strandingand the infamousP.T.that was to become a newSilent Hill.
