Avalanche Studios and id Software’s
RAGE 2 is set in 2165, thirty years after the events of the first game. That big time gap between
RAGE and its upcoming sequel allows the developers to give free rein to their imagination, as the wasteland that used to be a lifeless, brown, and overall uninteresting place has changed, teaming with colors and featuring blooming plants, mutated beasts, and forgotten cities.
GameInformer's extended
RAGE 2 coverage continues, this time giving us a chance to take a closer look at all the biomes you will have a chance to explore during your playthrough. According to Bethesda,
RAGE 2 owners will seamlessly traverse a vast and varied landscape, from lush jungles and treacherous swamps to sun-scorched deserts in their pursuit of the villainous and ruthless Authority.
In
RAGE 2, the player's main goal is taking the aforementioned Authority down. You will play as Walker, the last of his kind, equipped with the cutting-edge technology and special abilities that have turned into a myth. Be sure to take a look at the latest
RAGE 2 featurette (with a pretty cringeworthy and overall unnecessary commentary of GI's Ben Reeves) that focuses on the biomes down 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 released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on May 14, 2019.
