Mad Max developer hits back at film director George Miller after claim game "wasn't as good as [he] wanted it to be"

Avalanche founder Christofer Sundberg has hit back at Mad Max film director George Miller for claiming the studio’s game “wasn’t as good as [he] wanted it to be”.

During promotion for the new Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga film, Miller was asked by GamingBible about whether a new game was considered alongside the film.

He responded that Avalanche’s previous game “wasn’t as good as I wanted it to be”, adding “I’m one of those people that I’d rather not do something unless you can do it at the highest level”. He then said he’d love for Hideo Kojima to take on the challenge of a Mad Max game – because, of course.

Sundberg has since hit back at Miller, stating “this is complete nonsense” that shows his “complete arrogance”.

“They did everything they could to make this a complete linear game after having signed up with a developer of open-world games,” wrote Sundberg on X. “I’m sure Hideo Kojima would make an awesome Mad Max game, but it would be a completely different experience.”
