Avalanche Changes Mind And Gives Mad Max Australian Accent

As some avid readers may remember, we reported a few weeks ago about the lack of Australian accents in Avalanche Studios Mad Max game. It seems the petition and fan reaction was a success, a rarity in this industry of angry knee-jerk reactions.

Christofer Sundberg, Founder and Chief Creative Officer at Avalanche tweeted this:

 

 So good news for fans, especially for those Australians afraid of a cultural “white-washing” of one of cinema’s few Aussie heroes. It isn’t often you hear any non-American leads in a game, let alone one from the far of reaches of Australia.

Mad Max will be out on PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, Xbox One and PC at some point next year.
