Rage 2 launch video suggests rewinding time

Rage 2 shooter from Bethesda Softworks and Avalanche will be released on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on May 14th. Exactly one year ago on the same date, the developers, together with id Software, officially presented public project video with music by Andrew WK

Before plunging into a game full of madness and gunfights, the creators offer to rewind time, starting with a skirmish with the main villain of the project - the head of the Government, General Cross. In a couple of minutes, a lot of strange personalities, monsters, shootouts, explosions, races, and so on fly by in front of the audience, and time is constantly accelerating, sending the viewer further and further into the past, up to the choice of the character’s gender and even earlier.

The project continues the story the first part: according to the plot, an asteroid that fell to Earth destroyed 80% of the planet's population. Bloodthirsty gangs roam the roads, and the Government is trying to assert its limitless dominance. The player (and part-time last ranger) is waiting for chaos: incendiary first-person shootouts, a variety of vehicles and an open world of wasteland that rolls into madness.

Как сообщили developers in early May, the project will run on base consoles at 1080p with a frame rate limit of 30 fps. On Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Pro, performance will increase to 60 frames / s. On PC, there is no frame rate limitation and monitors with aspect ratios of 21:9 and 32:9 are supported. The base recommended configuration includes a 5GHz or better Intel Core i3570-3,4 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 780GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 3 graphics card.

There is a full Russian localization. Pre-orders are still being accepted. On steam the game costs 1999 rubles for the regular version and 2499 rubles for the deluxe edition. Pre-orders include the exclusive Death God Cult quest, and when purchasing the Digital Deluxe Edition, players will receive the Rise of the Ghosts add-on (released before the end of the year), the DOOM BFG cannon, Wasteland Mage cheat codes, a battle standard, and a progress booster.
