So RAGE 2 is officially official, and we're getting a gameplay trailer tomorrow. But before we get stuck into that, Bethesda's own listing for the game reveals a decent amount about the project.
For starters, it looks like the developer is Avalanche Studios -- the folks behind the Just Cause series and Mad Max. For whatever reason, it's going by the name of Fatalist Entertainment. We're sure to learn more about that in due time.
As for the game itself, RAGE 2 will, perhaps unsurprisingly, be an open world shooter. "Dive headfirst into a dystopian world devoid of society, law, and order. RAGE 2 brings together a true open world FPS experience where you can go anywhere, shoot anything, and explode everything," the official blurb reads.
What do you make of RAGE 2? Are you looking forward to seeing it in action? Grab some hair dye and head into the comments section below.
Update: That gameplay trailer is out now, by the way. You can watch it through here.

I hope they program a sprint button. Just Cause 3 felt slow to get momentum going as you seemed to gently jog everywhere
Not really a fan of Just Cause, and Mad Max looks quite mediocre from what I've seen. I can't exactly say I'm excited for this if those are the people developing it.
With the only other first person action open-world FPS being Far Cry at the moment, I am excited to see something enter the market with a different take on it. Eagerly awaiting gameplay.
Cant wait word up son
Suddenly everything makes total sense.
Open world shooter? Hopefully it's SP. Can't wait to see more!
Looking forward to it but I still haven't started Mad Max and I've only spent about an hour in total on Just Cause 3.
I didnt care to much about Rage 2 until the article mentioned that the game was done by the same developers of Mad Max. (I really enjoyed that game)
Ill wait to see some Gameplay before I make up my mind.
Battle Royale mode or no buy.
@verynaughtyboy Avalanche has multiple studios
I don't have anything against Avalanche (haven't played Just Cause or Mad Max, actually), but I was looking forward to another iD-developed game. They must be hard at work at Doom 2!
Can't wait for tomorrow, nonetheless. I hope the trailer leaks early! Bethesda is actually an amazing publisher, now that I think about it...not giving up on old franchises or single-player games.
I'm guessing they tried pitching Mad Max 2, it didn't get the green light, so they went to Bethesda.
I thought Square Enix owned Avalanche though? That might partially explain the different name I guess.
I know it's treason to talk Switch on a PlayStation site, but i do wonder if RAGE 2 will be the first game from Bethesda (and big AAA 3rd party - not counting the likes of EA's Fifa 18) that will be same day release for the Ninty console as well as PS4 and Xbox One??... if of course it comes to the hybrid console at all!
Can't say i enjoyed Rage but it had potential, i'm interested in seeing some game-play of this at E3.
I don't like the first rage, I hope this game is better.
Both Just Cause and Mad Max are both third-person shooters and Rage was first-person. Do we know what this one will be?
@Perryg92 Pretty sure it's not coming to Switch, at least not yet.

Yeeeer boiiiiii
Really excited to see this coming out because I loved Rage and didn't think there'd be a sequel. I have Mad Max in my backlog and just finished playing Just Cause 3 and all its DLC last week. I also love JC2 and 3, but 3 was a little rougher around the edges than I would have liked. Considering the original Rage had a few issues with "polish" as well, hopefully that gets cleaned up a bit with Rage 2.
Just Cause 3 was medicore and Mad Max was decent
@verynaughtyboy I think two teams made Mad Max and Just Cause 3. Though JC3 had a bit of troubled development. So my guess it's the Mad Max guys who are making it.
Just checked on Wikipedia, it seems Avalanche's Stockholm studio made Mad Max while their New York one worked on JC3. So I imagine it'll be the same again except swap Mad Max for Rage 2.
Mad max was fun.. looking forward to some gameplay
I hope Rage 2 is like Rage 1 with fp on foot and 3rd person while driving unless the fp driving is like in FC5. On foot would be nice if like in Fallout/Elder Scrolls games where fp and 3rd person choices are provided.
Rage 1 was short but fun and with an abrubt ending. Rage 2 has big potential to be even better and a great game.
I have not played Mad Max yet but it is in my library of Plus games.
I rented Just Cause 3 when it released and thought it looked great, had ok frame rates, and was stupid blowup stuff fun. However the camera motion blur was very annoying and caused my eyes to hurt and obviously a big NO for purchasing it.
what I have played of Mad Max so far it is really good so think this is in good hands & I liked the first RAGE was good fun.
Big reason to be excited to be honest! Just Cause is...well Just Cause, crazy fun and bonkers! And Mad Max is the most underrated game of this gen!
Cannot wait! Played the first one to death when it came out! Please let this continue on where the last one left off!
Offline campaigns are my thing. Im old school! Dont bother with online! Well watchdogs is fun!
Uncharted crushing verteran here!!!!!!!!!
I shall fire up rage on steam!!!!!!!
@ShogunRok It's all the rage back home.
Apparently avalanche sweden are teaming up with ID for this so that's a good sign 😁 the art style in the trailer alone kinda has me hooked. Already made it my phone wallpaper. Never played rage either 😂 love mad max though.
@KirbyTheVampire just cause was never really my thing but mad max is actually pretty good
Pretty excited for this. Loved Mad Max. Wish it were third person though.
Looks interesting. I’ll consider it.
So Just cause in a desert with mad Max style enemies without a magical David Copperfield parachute I'll pass
@KirbyTheVampire why are you on here?
@Undead21 Just because I'm not a person who buys a lot of games doesn't mean I have any less right to be here. Mind your own business.
@KirbyTheVampire but you are w whining and complaining darling
@Undead21 Apparently saying a game doesn't look like my kind of thing is whining now? Okay then.
@KirbyTheVampire ok darling
