The Brand-New Footage From RAGE 2's Campaign Puts The Spotlight Solely On A Little Flying Vehicle

There's no denying that id Software's original RAGE from 2010 was an incredibly ambitious (especially on the technical side), but ultimately generally underwhelming and pretty repetitive, gaming experience. While the upcoming sequel will keep some of its core gameplay mechanics (mostly when it comes to shooting stuff), it will be a drastically different, more open-world, and also varied experience.

With plenty of biomes to explore, powerful weapons to use (such as the returning boomerang-like wingstick), and enemies to annihilate, Avalanche Studios has one simple premise – making the sequel bigger, better, and much more badass. To fulfil that ambitious idea, the acclaimed Swedish studio will give you more space to experiment and make the explosive title's huge sandbox "your own."

In RAGE 2, you have one major objective – taking down the villainous Authority. While the oppressive government’s forces outmatch you in sheer numbers, you will be able to use not only a variety of overpowered weapons and special abilities, but also some pretty cool and useful vehicles – including a modified hoverbike, a little thing that you fly around and reach your destination without killing anyone.

To learn more about that fantastic machine, take a look at theRadBrad's RAGE 2 playthrough 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!
