RAGE 2’s Map Will Reportedly Be Smaller "But Denser" Than The Vast World Of JUST CAUSE 4

While Just Cause 4 was a pretty game (if you tried to avoid looking at its water), there's no denying that it didn't manage to live up to the expectations, delivering a bombastic, but also shallow experience.

With RAGE 2, the team at Avalanche Studios will have a chance to redeem themselves, hopefully delivering something more unique and less generic that Rico Rodriguez's latest adventures. While RAGE 2 will give players a chance to explore a huge open world, it won't be as big as Just Cause 4's.

In a recent interview with Dual Shockers, id Software Studio Director Tim Willits revealed that "the physical size [or RAGE 2's map] is actually smaller, but it’s denser." The decision to create something smaller was the direct result of both team's desire to "put something fun and engaging around every corner. We felt that was the way that we wanted to design this game. Denser and more compact."

During your own RAGE 2 playthrough, you will explore five distinct biomes, each popping with color and its own identity, including swamplands, overground cities, forests, and even some dry deserts.

Given that RAGE 2 launches on May 14th, we should learn more about the game in the near future.
