GTA<\/em> and\u00a0Breaking Bad<\/em> would be a match made in heaven<\/h2>\n

Breaking Bad<\/em> is widely regarded as one of the best TV series of all time, and frankly, its subject matter would make for a great game. The show’s creator Vince Gilligan thought so too, because he at one point pitched a GTA<\/em><\/a>-like adaptation of the iconic series. Originally reported by ComicBook<\/a>, Gilligan expressed the interest he had in turning Breaking Bad<\/em> into a game on a recent episode of his podcast “Inside The Gilliverse,” where he was accompanied by Eric Broadbent and Peter Gould.<\/p>\n

Gilligan said that he’s “not much of a video game player,” but that he wanted to reach out to the studio that owns\u00a0Grand Theft Auto\u00a0<\/em>and see if they could make “like a module” inspired by his series. Even for someone who doesn’t know games all that well, he might be onto something with a\u00a0Breaking Bad x GTA <\/em>DLC.<\/p>\n

“There have been quite a few attempts at video games,” Gilligan continued. “Some of them kinda sort of made it to market. We tried to do a VR experience with the Sony PlayStation VR headset. We did a mobile game that lasted for a little while.” He’s referring to a narrative base-builder game that was released back in 2020 called Breaking Bad: Criminal Elements<\/em>, but it didn’t last longer than a year<\/a>.<\/p>\n
