Avalanche Studios has released a cinematic teaser for the big upcoming return to the post-apocalyptic wastelands of Australia in its upcoming Mad Max game. Coinciding with the production of a new 'Mad Max' film (staring Bane himself, Tom Hardy, as Max), this E3 trailer hints at the former MFP officer's ongoing struggle for self-survival in such a treacherous and hazardous landscape.

Resources, food, and bullets are all in short supply throughout the Aussie barrens. Max has to be on the lookout for savage biker gangs as he explores the wastelands, trying to do anything he can in order to survive. So what is beyond the Thunderdome? We sure hope to find out.

Players can expect to return to the wastelands in Max's MFP pursuit-special cruiser on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC sometime in Q1 2014.
