Months after the release of
Rage 2, Bethesda is ready to invite players back to the wasteland where they'll face a new threat. The
Rise of the Ghosts expansion will introduce a new region to explore (Overgrown City) along with a lethal new faction (the Ghosts), and more.
Unfortunately, no trailer has been released, but we do have a synopsis, which reads:
The Ghosts were once a terror in the wasteland. Ruthless, vicious, tactical and cruel, they took what they wanted and left no survivors. Following the Authority Wars, they were nowhere to be found. At the time, many people assumed they had simply been wiped out and they began to fade into wasteland legend. In reality, they had found a higher calling; a strange woman named Iris promised them power and glory if they did everything she said. Iris and the Ghosts fled to the Overgrown City, where for years they underwent intensive brainwashing and were subjected to experiments that left them with powerful and mysterious nanotrite abilities.
Now they’re ready to reclaim their place in the wasteland. Under the watchful eyes of Iris, the Ghosts will prove to be a formidable new foe for Ranger Walker. He’ll need to navigate a huge new region called the Overgrown City and put a stop to their uprising before the Ghosts can gain a foothold in the wasteland.
To combat this new threat, Ranger Walker will have some new tools in his arsenal, including the new Void ability and Feltrite Laser Launcher. Additionally, players will be able to find the new Ghost Motorcycle in Overgrown City. The Void ability targets an enemy, grabs them and suspends them in air. The Feltrite Laser sounds incredibly deadly, incinerating any enemies in the path with the Feltrite-infused beam.
Rise of the Ghosts is free for anyone with the Deluxe Edition of
Rage 2 or can be purchased for $15 (1500 RAGE Coins).
