No, but with Bethesda's recent single player shooter push in the last couple of years, it makes sense they'd give it a shot again.
RAGE 2 reveal trailer is coming tomorrow (Leaked trailer + game logo)

I get the sense that they're making them sequentially.
Like, they used to have 5-10 people on their next game while making their current game (for example, having 5-10 people work on Skyrim while Fallout 3 was still in production), and given they've said the second game is still in pre-production, I imagine the same is happening here.
As such, I imagine Todd Howard is still leading it up.
RAGE had like two or three things going for it but it is not a good game by any stretch of the imagination.
To be perfectly honest I thought the first game was quite excellent and amongst the best games id Software has ever produced. An underrated gem IMO. Doom 2016 is vastly superior but Rage is also solid. Unfinished perhaps, and the ending (or lack thereof) is a critical flaw, but the shooting mechanics are fantastic and it's a surprisingly well-designed and realised world and the light RPG elements make it super addictive. A good game, though probably falls short of being a great one. So count me in as someone that'd be beyond interested in a sequel.
Do we have an ETA on the trailer? Or is it just dropping at a random time on the 14th?
I thought it was really fun. It just didn't have a final boss fight or any kind of satisfying ending.
This will more likely be a thing for Xbox owners, maybe a free BC copy for the 360.
The original RAGE was fucking terrible. I tried several times to get into it but it never felt fun or clicked in any way.
That said, Bethesda has killed it with single-player FPS lately so who knows?

It's possible that both Codemasters and Rebellion are working on Rage 2. Codemasters is known for the Dirt, F1 and Grid series which makes them perfect to do the driving and racing sections of Rage 2. Rebellion could be assisting with Id to make the rest of the game.
Rage was close to being something special. Here's hoping the sequel continues with the ground work laid down by the first but dialing it all in while cranking it up to 11.
Is there a time announced when the trailer is dropping for those of us on the east coast of Australia?
I don't even remember playing that game now. Just some flashes of that 1 horror City we had to pass through, the car ride, the ending video and "pick up the can" half life(?) Reference.
I bet they will just call it RAGE, not rage 2

DOOM is certainly a much more consistent game, but RAGE has some very high peaks. With that said, the end game...oh my god...it's so fucking bad. Everything about the last level and ending is unbelievably awful.
Bethesda's track record lately is pretty good. If they're making this, there must be a reason for it.
I apparently platinum'd Rage and remember next to nothing about it. They also sold DLC for it which I also have no recollection of.

Since I've been replaying Rage, I've noticed one thing: it takes itself surprisingly seriously. There's some humor, for sure, but it's far closer to that Fallout world than, say, Borderlands'.
The stuff that's been coming out about Rage 2, so far, is giving me more Borderlands vibes than anything else. I wonder if they'll be dialing back the seriousness of the game, adding 4 player Coop, and just doing a sort of Borderlands in London take. Might actually go well and give BL3 a little competition if they do.

Rage had some really fun gunplay and enemy encounters.
If they can finetune that even further while improving the rest this will be a solid game.

I liked Rage but felt it could have had a better ending. I hope they had a more cohesive experience to go along with the graphics and shooting.
Right. I don't think they actually split up here though. Montreal does mobile development and assists the main branch, and Battlecry was only converted to be part of Bethesda proper a few months ago, but I think their previous game was canceled to do so.
What a bizarre turn of events.
I mean, sure, I'll spare a glance for a Mad Max ripoff shooter, it could be fun.
But it's completely out of the blue. Who was asking for this?
Should I expect to hear that there are sequels on the way for Overstrike, Remember Me and Brink?

No, that's your poor interpretation of my argument. That's a straw man and not what I said. If you wanna bark at the moon and argue strawmen then have at ya, but don't try and tell me what my argument was when I know damned well what I was arguing.
Regardless of what reasoning I give, I'm perfectly entitled as much as you to express my opinion on a game as everyone does. No need to get triggered by it or try to censor other people's opinions merely because you don't like what they were saying.... ffs
I feel bad for the developer basically having their hand forced by Walmart Canada to go ahead and announce this game. They were probably planning on an E3 reveal. Ah well
this looks like Bethesda is trying to pull a Gobots to get sales from confused parents when they buy Borderlands 3
well, I hope the gameplay is good

Honestly I don't really feel like they dropped this because of the Wal Mart leak. I mean, timing is suspicious, of course, but think about how clobbered this would get -- even at their own conference. Starfield, Doom 2, Possibly a new Fallout? Wise to just get it out there.
edit: Also with all these ads popping up, does this mean a proper reveal trailer within the hour?
I think this worked in their favor. Next battlefield is unveiling May 23rd, Call of Duty is unveiling May 17th, this is wise to kickoff Pre-E3 games.
Are these teasers giving you RAGE?
damn....this is actually a big change from the browny Rage 1 atmosphere lol
I think it's like rage but more color now.....adding a bit more humor too and other things.....like Borderlands? O;

Surprised at how punk this looks. Like, Rage 1 has a kind of futuristic / sci-fi meets wild west feel, and this, tonally... is very different. Channeling Borderlands for sure.
