We learned a great deal of new information on RAGE 2, and even saw the game in action for the first time, though published Bethesda Softworks promised a lot more to come during their own E3 2018 Showcase event (set on Sunday, June 10th at 6:30 pm Pacific Time).

　　However, retailer Amazon also separately confirmed that there will be a pre-order bonus: an exclusive mission, a vehicle, a pistol and an armor piece.

　　Pre-order RAGE 2 and get the "Cult of the Death God" exclusive mission, Settlers Pistol, Nicholas Raine Armor, and Monster Truck in-game.

　　RAGE 2 is being co-developed by Avalanche Studios and id Software, to get the most of each studio's expertise. It was only natural, then, to wonder whether the game would use the id Tech 6 engine or Avalanche's own Apex engine.

　　Avalanche Founder and Chief Creative Officer (CCO) Christofer Sundberg clarified that once and for all via Twitter - RAGE 2 is indeed powered by the Apex engine, the same one used in all their titles from Mad Max to Just Cause and theHunter.

　　It’s Apex - Avalanche Open-World Engine.

　　This does raise another question, though: will the game retain the 60FPS target frame rate of the first installment? That would be a first for Avalanche's open world games.

　　THE LAST RANGER

　　Bring the pain using a collection of upgradable weapons, devastating Nanotrite powers, and Overdrive, the ability to push your guns beyond their mechanical limits.

　　PEDAL TO THE METAL

　　From monster trucks to gyrocopters, use an assortment of rugged and wasteland-ready vehicles to speed across the badlands. If you see it, you can drive it.

　　FACTIONS & FOES

　　Fight against ferocious factions for control of the wasteland, each featuring a rogue’s gallery of madmen, mutants, and monsters hungry for blood.

　　THE WASTELAND AWAITS

　　Seamlessly traverse a vast and varied landscape, from lush jungles and treacherous swamps to sun-scorched deserts in your pursuit of The Authority. The wasteland is massive, and you’ve got the arsenal to fight for every inch.
