Designing The Gameplay Of Mad Max
For our April cover story, we journeyed over to Avalanche Studios in Sweden to finally fully pull the veil off of the open-world Mad Max game. We have a full month of exclusive content that we'll be rolling out in our hub, but to start things off we wanted to give you a high-level idea of what this game is and how it plays. Mad Max's game director Frank Rooke was a creative director at Monolith on games like Condemned before transitioning to WB and then to Avalanche three years ago when "they needed a little help getting the reset started" on this project. We spoke with Rooke and senior producer John Fuller about the "backbone" of this game, the core gameplay loop, and why the team is so proud of their approach to physics-based car combat.
Watch the video feature below to see and learn more about what you can expect from the gameplay of Mad Max.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
