If Mad Max: Fury Road hasn't done anthing to sate your appetite for post-apocalyptic car-crushing mayhem, Avalanche Studios could have just what you need with its Mad Max game coming later this year. The Just Cause 3 developer looks to have a lot on its plate at the moment, but if the Savage Road trailer for Mad Max is any indication, it’s onto a winner.
Having already taken a look at the gameplay components, Savage Road focuses on the storyline and the characters wrapped up in this open-world action adventure. Despite the Mad Max movie coming out earlier this month, the game has no narrative connection, with original characters, setting, and storyline - but just as many pyrotechnics.
The story revolves around the titular Max, trying to eke an existence out of the sand covered wastelands. The best way to survive is to avoid all human contact, but it looks as if Max gets tangled up with a group of ne'er-do-wells and stripped of his Interceptor car.
Together with help from his companion Chumbucket, Max must craft a new machine, called the Magnum Opus. Much of Mad Max will be spent scavenging for parts and upgrades, creating the ultimate wasteland death-dealing machine.
“Both Max and Chum are acutely aware that the car will require a powerful V8 engine if it is to survive in battle,” said senior producer John Fuller. “ In the video you will see that Max ventures into the heart of Gastown in order to compete in a race to the death. The prize — the V8 he so desperately needs. First he will have to face his enmity with Scrotus’ most feared henchman, Stank Gum, a despicable character who revels in spreading Scrotus’ terror in the most grotesque ways possible. The closer Max is driven to breaking point, the more he struggles with his sanity.”
Mad Max is out on September 1st in North America and September 4th in Europe, for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
