There are a few reasons to be excited for Mad Max, the upcoming video game spin-off of the excellent Fury Road. For starters, the game is being developed by Avalanche Studios, the same developer behind the wild, open-world Just Cause series, and its publisher is WB Interactive, which has a solid history with licensed games like Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and the most recent Batman games. But more importantly, it’s a chance to finally drive those insane, weaponized cars featured in the movies. “Car combat is our key feature,” design director Magnus Nedfors tells Polygon.
