What’s most curious about RAGE 2, from a behind-the-scenes perspective, is that it isn’t solely an id Software venture. “Most of these things are explained if you look close enough.” “Most people you meet, most stuff that you see, even enemies that you never really talk to, they have a backstory and they have a reason to be there, and they have a reason to behave in the outrageous way that they do,” said Ahlgren. “They knew that they wanted a strong story component in the game, and pushed for that from the beginning.” “Bethesda and id have been pushing for the story from the very beginning as well,” said Wallmo. Recently, Odd Ahlgren (narrative director) and Loke Wallmo (senior narrative designer) of Avalanche Studios talked about the game’s focus on narrative in an interview with Official PlayStation Magazine, and this is what they had to say. Though RAGE 2 is placing a huge focus on its open world gameplay and its systemic mechanics that can be used to wreak havoc in its world, it’s still a game that is going to have a strong focus on story as well. While there will be many new characters to meet, there will also be some that will be returning from the first RAGE, including the likes of Antonin Kvasir and Lossum Hagar. Though RAGE 2 is essentially going to tell a story that is separate from the one told in the first game, complete with a significant time jump and a new protagonist and what have you, there’s still going to be some familiar faces in this sequel. We will play as Walker, one of the last remaining Rangers, who gets robbed by the Authority, but seeks vengeance and decides to bring them down. The survivors have managed to start rebuilding semblances of civilization, but all is not rosy- the tyrannical group known as the Authority is still active and at large, and is mercilessly wiping out any who oppose their rule, while gangs and bandits still operate freely. More specifically, the game is set in the year 2165, thirty years after the events of the first title. RAGE 2 will take place in the same post-apocalyptic, asteroid-hit world as its predecessor, but it’s going to take a bit of a leap. There’s a lot to get into here, so let’s dive in. In this feature, we’ll be taking a look at fifteen things you should know about the game. RAGE 2 will be hoping to maximize on that potential, delivering open world first person carnage and a vibrant post apocalyptic setting. RAGE might not have taken the world by storm back when it first launched in 2011, but it was definitely a game that had a lot of potential.
