After much speculation, Bethesda has announced that Rage 2 is on its way. Earlier today, the publisher released a trailer announcing the new game. In it, there was no gameplay but it did show off what style the game is aiming for.
Earlier last week, we had previously reported on a potentially major E3 leak. Thanks to Walmart Canada, there were a handful of games that received placeholders. This included a slot for Rage 2, which made many begin speculating. Afterward, Bethesda started to hint at the upcoming game through a series of tweets and teasers.
Dude.

Tomorow, May 15, Bethesda plans to reveal a gameplay trailer for the upcoming sequel.
Rage 2 is being developed by Avalanche Studios. They were responsible for the 2015 game, Mad Max. The original Rage was developed by id Software who were responsible for the 2015 reboot of Doom. However, id Software will have some effect on this release. It was stated that they have teamed up with Avalanche Studios for some assistance.
The rumors are true (and wow, have there been some rumors lately…) #RAGE2 is happening! We’ve teamed up with the shooter Gods at @idSoftware on this beast of a game, and can't wait for you to see it. Reveal trailer here, gameplay reveal tomorrow! https://t.co/fU2lyMXkP7
