RAGE 2 is… Real? The title, listed as part of a Wal-Mart Canada leak earlier today, was shrugged off by many as mistake – but if it was, why has Bethesda’s just resurrected the first-person shooter’s dormant Twitter account? The publisher may very well be goofing around, as evidenced by its not-so gentle ribbing of the aforementioned retailer, but it's odd behaviour if this is all just an error.
Adding further fuel to the fire, Bethesda’s chief mouthpiece Pete Hines has been publicly tweeting about the leak, too.
It’s still not conclusive enough to say for certain that the game is real, but the publisher’s got to reveal something at its E3 showcase next month, and we suppose some kind of RAGE sequel isn’t entirely out of the realm of possibility. Is it? In truth, we’d all but forgotten about this franchise until earlier today so it’s definitely a weird one. Looks like it might be happening, though. Maybe?

Hands up if you wanted another RAGE.
didn't expect it either,even forgot rage existed in the first place!
anyway happy for the fans!
@jdv95 I refuse to believe there's a single RAGE fan in the world.
Considering E3 is right around the corner and they started up the official Rage Twitter account now, I'd honestly be surprised if it wasn't announced. Loved Rage, hoping this sequel is real (which I doubt it isn't)
@get2sammyb Whoa, hey! I really enjoyed RAGE. I'm up for another one!
@get2sammyb if fortnite can get millions of fans than Rage can have Some fans out there aswell
But i must say that i did not expect this. I thought that the first game didn't do Well enough for them to greenlight a sequel,not to mention it happening many years later.
But since this managed to beat the odds,maybe we can get a elder scrolls 6 reveal aswell please?
@Jake3103 Oh god, there's always one of you.
puts two-middle fingers up as hands
@get2sammyb What can I say, I'm a sucker for post-apocalyptic settings. 😎
@get2sammyb serious question.. how does walmart manage to get this info if real, its like Tesco doing leaks in the uk
@MoorePs4 If it's real, it'll be because they've been briefed on the games. Publishers will want the software to be available to pre-order the second it's announced, and Wal-Mart is a big enough retailer that they'd potentially be given the heads up.
I mean, I didn't mind Rage, wouldn't mind another one BUT... If id software is working on a sequel to Rage instead of a sequel to Doom, they have truly and utterly lost their bloody minds 😂😂😂
I'm not sure if I'm the only one...but I really enjoyed the driving parts of the game x)
RAGE was okay. The shooting was satisfying and it certainly wasn't a bad game overall, but the only things I remember about it are the boomerang weapon and the ugly little mutants. And you were some kind of super solider or something? Not exactly a game that sticks in the brain.
Sequel could be fun if it expands on the original, though. Why not?
The only thing I know about Rage is I once sold a copy while working electronics at Target to another employee. It prompted me that they must be 18 years old. He was like 15 so I joked about how his mom better not come up there to yell at me for selling it to her little boy. Didn't know what the game was then nor do I now. Haha.
Love those Wingstick weapons and the electric and exploding crossbow bolts. Enemies would say something like "oh sh** " just before the bolt that embeded in their body armor would explode.
For what Rage is it is a fun little game and a much more enjoyable game if purchased for $30 or less.
Well it was setup for a sequel, and they pointlessly trotted out the "prey" name so why not rage?
Cost me a tenner, and was really good fun throughout. Driving was a little shonky and the ending was dump, but the gameplay itself was enjoyable. Decapitating mutants with boomerangs didn't get tired.
@get2sammyb [Holding both hands up]!
Would be great, the first Rage game had lots of character; the wingstick, RC bomb cars, sentry bots, a crossbow, dynamite bolts!, cool minigames, pesky mutants, Mutant Bash TV, track racing and combat racing ... solid narrative with an entertaining sci-fi storyline.
Considering what the mainstream regards as a great FPS, this will probably go the same way Prey (2017) and Mad Max (2015) did.
I liked Rage, nice game and ahead of its time I thought.
However I'd really like to see a proper sequel to the original Quake - I know Quake Champions is coming but I think that's more a sequel to Quake 3 Arena, whereas I always really liked the original goth / lovecraftian original most.
Rage was great, it had a nice Mad Max vibe going on. Really enjoyed the vehicle parts and also the Mutant Bash TV idea, hopefully they expand on that.
A remaster with an actual ending would be great
Isn't Rage' s claim to fame being featured in Breaking Bad? Jesse was playing it, but as a light gun game randomly.
@Bonbonetti pretty sure mad max is not a fps, but an awesome game!
@get2sammyb cheers mate 👍
I can’t believe the posts in this thread. If we’d done a poll last week asking which PS3 game you want a sequel to, no one would have said Rage. No one. 😂
I was looking for .gifs that could sum up how I felt about this in a comical facial expression but there wasn't one. There is no expression because nobody had prepared for this eventuality. This news is like finding out that there's going to be a sequel to a movie you never heard of that was released only in a country that no longer exists.
Rage was good especially the crazy online game show bit.
I loved rage. Just the sounds of the mutant that made we stop playing.. It scared the poo out of me.!
I bought Rage when it was really cheap but only ever played like an hour of it. Not because I didn't like it or anything. I think I was just to busy at the time. It's one of the many games still in my backlog.
I would play another RAGE
@Ridwaano Watch the language please.
@ArkhamKnerd Same here regarding not knowing a thing about the game.
I probably will never be bothered to try out the original or sequel.
raises one hand
I still have RAGE in my huge backlog.
