Japanese game studio Bandai Namco has announced a new title to be released next year that’ll be based on the popular Fast & Furious movie franchise. The new game, dubbed Fast & Furious Crossroads, is described as a “team-based, vehicular-heist action game”, and’ll feature Fast & Furious stars Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and Tyrese Gibson, reprising their movie roles as Dom, Letty, and Roman. Also featured in the game are The Walking Dead‘s Sonequa Martin-Green and John Wick: Chapter 3‘s Asia Kate Dillon.
Fast & Furious Crossroads, scheduled to launch May next year, will be available on the PS4, Xbox One and PC. Unsurprisingly, the ninth installment of the Fast & Furious movie franchise is scheduled to launch on the same month as the newly announced game. Launching Fast & Furious Crossroads the same month as the movie, which conventionally draws huge viewers, would likely generate more buzz and in turn players for the game.
From currently available information, it’ safe to say Fast & Furious Crossroads will entail fast cars pulling off high-speed heists and stunts just like in the movie. The trailer, which can be seen below, doesn’t give much away about how gameplay would be but surely gives the feel of fast cars and extreme stunts, some of which look inspired from scenes in Fast & Furious movies, one example being the giant wrecking balls.
As time passes, more clues may be released, with a full game expected by May next year. For context, Fast & Furious Crossroads is being developed by Slightly Mad Studios, a British game studio which was recently acquired by Codemasters, an award-winning video game developer and publisher that specializes in racing games.
