“Hope is lost and only the savage survive. In a world where the roads are paved to nowhere, what choices will you make to stay alive?” says the press release unveiling the first ever gameplay footage for the new Mad Max.

Avalanche and WB have released both the first gameplay trailer and three nice new screenshots. All of which can be found below.
