The new miniseries which is based on the PlayStation Franchise of the same name released a sneak peek into the show. In the teaser of Twisted Metal, Anthony Mackie who plays John Doe is seen squaring off Sweet Tooth, voiced by Will Arnett and played by Samoa Joe.
In the teaser, John Doe can be seen fighting Sweet Tooth in a casino, and let’s say, he is not doing a great job at doing so. In one particular scene, Sweet Tooth can be seen forcing John to sing along and he has no choice but to co-operate.
Twisted Metal originated in 1995 and is known for chaotic vehicular combat gameplay. It was published by Sony Computer Entertainment, and featured on PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation 3. The games were also released on PC. The games were extremely popular as they combined racing along with combat which was well appreciated by the target audiences.
Based on the comics, the series can have a similar theme to the Mad Max movies which follow warfare across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The series is being developed by Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions and is set to air on Peacock.
When is Twisted Metal coming out?
The series is set to air on July 27th, 2023 on Peacock.
Overview of Twisted Metal
The concept of Twisted Metal revolves around a tournament hosted by Calypso and the participants are labeled as ‘Twisted Metal Drivers’. Last Man Standing is the theme of the tournament as drivers engage in battle with each other using heavily armored vehicles. The winner who is the last driver remaining is granted a wish by Calypso, but these wishes have consequences that reflect the dark grim nature of the game.
In the series, players have the opportunity to select the vehicle of their choice which is piloted by a unique character. Clown-themed Sweet Tooth, and Motorcycle Riding Reaper, are just some of the iconic lineup of drivers available on the roster.
In 2012, Sony Pictures Entertainment planned on releasing a movie on the big screen, but later Sony passed on it because they felt the movie would not go in line with the fanbase.
