The one comment that came out from our mouths when my wife and I finally got to watch Mad Max: Fury Road was somewhere along the lines of “Wow, that was over-the-top”. They don’t make movies like this anymore. Did you know as well that there’s a Mad Max game coming out this September? I heard about it but today’s the first time I actually took the trouble to watch the latest trailer for the game (courtesy of a PR e-mail, we reviewer types get those a lot), and it was an interesting 2-minute pitch.

The upcoming Mad Max game’s Stronghold trailer gives a glimpse of the various fortified outposts, or strongholds, located throughout the open world of the post-apocalyptic Wasteland. In the new trailer, Max visits some of the game’s diverse strongholds and encounters a number of intriguing characters, including Jeet, Gutgash, Pink Eye and Deep Friah. In a world where Max faces both his internal and external enemies, these strongholds hold the pieces essential to the puzzle he tries to solve. Max will need to make some uneasy alliances as he prepares to take on merciless Wasteland tyrant, Scrotus.

Featuring deep car customization, metal-grinding vehicular action, brutal melee combat and a vast desert landscape waiting to be explored, players will be fully immersed into the deadly Mad Max universe like never before. Mad Max will be released on Sept. 1, 2015 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC
