Mad Max is a 2015 action-adventure video game based on the Mad Max franchise developed by Avalanche Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The game follows Max Rockatansky as he progresses through the wasteland building a vehicle, the Magnum Opus, to battle against a gang of hostile raiders led by Scabrous Scrotus and reach the storied "Plains of Silence", where he hopes to find peace. Mad Max emphasizes vehicular combat, in which players can use weapon and armor upgrades on their car to fight enemies. It is set in an open world, a post-apocalyptic wasteland consisting of deserts, canyons, and caves. The game adopted a free-flowing combat system, similar to Rocksteady Studios' Batman: Arkham series.
