Well, it's official. Bethesda is definitely working on a
Rage sequel.
With the cat out of the bag thanks to an
accidental leak from Walmart Canada, Bethesda has formally let the world know that
Rage 2 is on the way. Even better, we're getting the announcement trailer on Monday, May 14. Bethesda confirmed the news via its official
Rage Twitter account.
Although Bethesda VP Pete Hines initially
seemed annoyed with the leak, the publisher has been having a bit of fun with it. Over the last few days, Bethesda has
been posting images alluding to the Monday reveal. Specific details regarding
Rage 2 will presumably be shared at E3 in June.
For those who never played the first game, here's the official description:
RAGE is a groundbreaking first-person shooter set in the not-too-distant future after an asteroid impacts Earth, leaving a ravaged world behind. You emerge into this vast wasteland to discover humanity working to rebuild itself against such forces as bandit gangs, mutants, and the Authority – an oppressive government regime that has a special interest in you in particular. Featuring intense first-person shooter action, breakneck vehicle combat, an expansive world to explore and jaw-dropping graphics powered by id’s revolutionary id Tech® 5 technology, RAGE promises an experience like no other.
With
Rage 2 now confirmed, the question now is which of the other leaked games are legit.
