With RAGE 2 officially going gold, it's pretty clear that nothing stops this gaudy train and Avalanche Studios & id Software's first co-produced video game ever will arrive as planned – on May 14, 2019.
"It’s been almost a year since RAGE 2 was announced by Walmart Canada – ha, that never gets old! Over the past year, we’ve had the best time getting hyped up for the game’s launch on May 14," Bethesda said on the game's website alluding to the fact that Walmart Canada indeed leaked the sequel's existence a couple of days before its first official presentation at last year's E3 in Los Angeles.
While RAGE 2 technically is a sequel to the 2010 original, the team at Avalanche promises that it will be a drastically different experience – at least when it comes to its visuals, as the shooter's open world reportedly is an incredibly colorful place that is teeming with life despite the ongoing apocalypse.
As a reminder, RAGE 2 is set in 2165, thirty years after the events of the first game. Check it out below:
In the year 2185, humanity’s numbers are dwindling. Ruthless and bloodthirsty gangs roam the open roads and the tyrannical Authority seek to rule who remains with an iron fist. You are Walker, the last Ranger of the wasteland. Robbed of your home and left for dead, you’ll tear across an unforgiving wasteland battling bloodthirsty gangs to find the tools and tech needed to take the fight to The Authority and crush their oppressive rule once and for all!
RAGE 2 will be available for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on May 14, 2019.
