'Rage 2' serves up open world mayhem on May 14th, 2019
Bethesda, Avalanche and id Software have nailed down a release date for Rage 2. The Mad Max-like open world shooter will be available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One on May 14th, 2019 -- almost exactly a year after it was introduced, in fact. The accompanying new trailer doesn't tell you much that you don't already know, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Essentially, you can expect punks with guns, a thorough mix of vehicular and on-foot combat, and many creative ways to kill your foes.
Watch Bethesda's E3 media briefing in under 12 minutes
Bethesda's E3 media briefing started with a performance from Andrew WK hyping Rage 2 and ended with a look at the company's future, closing its show with a tease of The Elder Scrolls VI. It took just over an hour for the publisher and developer to make its announcements, but you can watch it right here in under 12 minutes.
'Rage 2' is a video game that comes out next spring
You'll be able to explore Avalanche Studios' Rage 2 starting sometime next spring. There's a new trailer featuring a lot of shooting, more of the game's open world and some Destiny-ish super powers like a ground slam that knocks enemies off their feet. We're still waiting to hear if John Goodman will reprise his role from the first game.
'Rage 2' brings the frenetic action of 'Doom' to an open world
Bethesda's initial teaser for Rage 2 may have been long on hype and short on substance, but it's making up for that with the full announcement. The team-up between original Rage creators id Software and Avalanche Studios (best known for Just Cause and, appropriately, Mad Max) promises to be a significant expansion of the first game's post-apocalpytic open-world concept. The premise is familiar -- you're still fighting gangs, mutants and the oppressive Authority through a mix of on-foot shooting and vehicular combat -- but the mechanics have changed. Even at this early stage, it's clear the title is borrowing a page from Doom's book.
