Gameplay info:
- Players will be able to venture beyond the map borders of the game. There is, however, a catch. Beyond the borders lies The Big Nothing; there's no water or food and you'll face deadly sandstorms, but the brave will find rare auto parts for Max's Magnum Opus.
- Survival within the map's borders will also be challenging. Food and water, which are both used to replenish Max's health, will be scarce. When you're low on health and out of food, Avalanche suggests you look toward the sky for circling birds. Birds will fly over nearby decomposing bodies, which are covered with maggots. Luckily for Max, maggots are a good source of protein. Rodents can also be consumed for health, since this world has "absolutely no" vegetation, and very little life.
- One thing that won't be scarce is fuel, "We want resources to be scarce, but we also want a car game, we want to drive a lot and so on. So gas can’t be super scarce, because otherwise it would be a walking game instead of a driving game,” said Emil Krafting, senior game designer.
- Players will also be able to upgrade the Magnum Opus by accessing the Garage in their game menu. You'll be able to customize and upgrade every part of your Magnum Opus to make it the deadliest thing on four wheels this side of The Wasteland.
- The on-foot combat is similar to that seen in the Batman Arkham series, in that it's based on rhythmic button presses, counter-attacks, and rolling away to dodge.
