While the comic series was always strong,The Boyshas gained a lot more popularity thanks to the Amazon Prime series of the same name. WithThe Boysfeaturing a lot of superheroes and violent moments, it is hard not to consider the possibility of a tie-in game.
The idea has been kicked around in the past byHughie actor Jack Quaid. A huge gamer himself, Quaid had a few different ideas for the direction that the project could be taken. One suggestion would be to play as anyone from the show, with the speedster A-Train and the Superman-like Homelander near the top of Quaid’s list. He also pushed for a tactical shooter which would see players controllingThe Boysand fighting against the Supes, with some neat boss fights sure to be included.

While it remains to be seen ifQuaid’s concept forThe Boysis similar to what actually happens, Amazon seems to be looking into the idea as well. Posting on the official Twitter account for the show, the company directly asks fans what a game would look like. Adding a thinking emoji, this open discussion could suggest that a playable adaptation is being considered. Before long, fans were responding with their own suggestions for the game, with a few of the same ideas popping up in the comments sections.
One common suggestion was an open world game, with Twitter users like @SRDominatrix getting plenty of likes for the comment. Given thatThe BoysTV seriesis so over the top, giving players an open world to mess around in would be a solid way to recreate the randomness. The topic of who is actually playable remains, though. While it would undoubtedly be more fun to play as The Supes, especially in an open world, fighting againstThe Boyswould likely feel strange. Given how villainous most of The Supes are, too, working out a proper story for the game would be challenging.
Another suggestion comes from @hailedfrequency, with the fan pushing for a fighting game. This could be the best possible option, as it would allow whatever studio develops the game to create a tight narrative. It also allows for characters like Homelander to be contained a bit, something that an open world game could struggle with. Witha proper Superman gameyet to be made, getting Homelander right in a traditional superhero game would be tough. On the downside, it would be tough to make each ofThe Boysfeel unique, as none have unique powers or abilities.
Regardless of what form it takes, this playful teaser for a video game centered onThe Boysis promising. With a randomrestaurant themed aroundThe Boysbeing created, it seems clear that anything could happen when it comes to the series.
