AVALANCHE STUDIOS IN THE WASTELAND

With only a week to go until the release of Mad Max, we wanted to share one of our favorite experiences from this journey.

Most game developers never get to touch anything they create. Their work is forever locked behind glass screens. So when the centerpiece of the upcoming Mad Max game – a unique car called the Magnum Opus – would be re-created in real life, it was an overwhelming experience for the team at Avalanche Studios.

In this short documentary, we get to follow Lead Artist Daniel Persson, the original designer of the Magnum Opus, and Odd Ahlgren, Director of Narrative Content, as they witness their work come to life. Odd even travels to Wasteland Weekend, the celebration of all things post-apocalyptic, to realize a life-long dream.

Mad Max is out on Playstation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC on September 1, 2015. See brand new screenshots and trailers at www.madmaxgame.com.
