The open world of Avalanche’s Mad Max game isn’t just filled with deserts, crows and hollering War Boys. It also features a number of scattered Strongholds, places that offer a tiny slice of civilization amongst a whole lot of post-apocalyptic nihilism.
They’re the subject of the latest trailer for the upcoming action game, which continues to look pretty good. The slightly dull-looking lead character’s no Mel Gibson or Tom Hardy, but Avalanche seem to have nailed the insane stunts and general air of chaos that made Fury Road so memorable.
Really, my only worry is that Avalanche and publisher Warner Bros still seem dead set on that September 1 release date - surely a death sentence for sales, given that Metal Gear Solid 5 launches on the very same day.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Mad Max delayed, but for now there’s been no such announcement.
