The game's design work is being handled by Kodaka's Too Kyo Games, which was founded in 2017 by members of the Danganronpa and Zero Escape development teams after they left their original video game studio, Spike Chunsoft. The game will be co-developed by Japanese mobile game studio Akatsuki, who previously collaborated with Final Fantasy publisher Square-Enix on Romancing Saga Re:Universe, a mobile game spinoff of Akitoshi Kawazu's long-running experimental RPG series. It gets the word out about the films, opens up an alternate revenue stream, and beyond all that, who doesn't want the chance to play as a digital Tyrese Gibson? Out of all of the franchises that should receive definitive gaming experiences, Fast & Furious is close to the top of the list.Īt the very least, there should be a Hobbs & Shaw game.A smartphone action-RPG is also in the works. Most movie companies would see the value in creating a great game based on the series. When it boils down to it, it’s surprising that we haven’t already received a big budget Fast & Furious game. After all, no one would have thought about making a tactical John Wick game, yet John Wick Hex looks great and will likely be a good video game representation of the series. These are just some of the more obvious options, but perhaps there’s a developer out there who has an even more creative idea.

If the creators of the series could come up with 9-10 movies worth of plot, then surely there would be enough story and substance to create a full-fledged open world Fast & Furious adventure. The movies usually involve some kind of revenge plot or major heist, and a video game could probably include both. Imagine driving around an entire city as Vin Diesel, Ludacris, or any other of the other Fast fam members. However, considering the massive fan base these movies have, the effort and budget would be justifiable. This would obviously be a lot more complicated and expensive. Or, if you want more plot, the other avenue to go down would be to do a GTA or Saints Row-esque open world game. It would just need Vin Diesel to say something about family sticking together before it cuts to you driving a Lamborghini over a helicopter. Plus, in a game like that, you wouldn’t have to worry too much about the plot. Heck, there could probably be a mission where you drive a tank like in Fast 6.
There could be score attack modes, time trials, and modes that caused destruction.
The most obvious way to go would be an arcade-like racing game similar to Burnout or some of the Need For Speed games. Considering the series’ history of over the top high-speed chases, being able to crash into cop cars or bad guys with your car would be the kind of insane action that would perfectly represent the things we’ve come to expect from these franchise. So, what exactly would a Fast & Furious game be? There are a few options that would fit the series the best. PREVIOUSLY: The Contra Timeline: A History Of Kicking Alien Ass
There was also that weird Forza Horizon 2 DLC, but that didn’t really show us what a full game featuring the extended Toretto family could be. However, as you might have guessed, it was pretty terrible. Back in the mid-2000s, when there were only three Vin Diesel-powered movies, there was a game released for the PlayStation 2. Granted, the Fast & Furious series has lightly dipped its toes into the video game pool in the past.
