Leaked teaser confirms Rage 2 (Updated Trailer = Live)

Bethesda Softworks is working on Rage 2, and its likely to be announced soon. a teaser trailer leaked while the studio has not yet announced the game itself.

The teaser surfaced at YouTube but shortly after posting got removed due to a copyright claim from Bethesda Softworks. Twitter user Wario64 has posted a gif of the fragment in a tweet. Look closely and you can see short fragments of characters from the post-apocalyptic game world.

Back in 2010 the original Rage was released by id Software. The new version is quite a surprise. Other then that leaked trailer and an entry on Walmart nothing is known otherwise. Eurogamer reports that the game would officially be announced later today.

The teaser reveals Rage 2 likes the colour pink, is over-the-top post-apocalyptic and all a bit Mad Max. There's still no word on the developer, platforms or a release date, but with an official announcement set for later today, we don't have long to wait to find out.

Update: Bethesda just posted the trailer:

Rage wasn't a bad game, however, infested by issues. Rage 2 can easily tick all the right boxes if it will work properly.

Worked properly for me, just the anti-climatic ending was a big let down. Some spotty textures here and there as well. Looking forward to R2.

Agree with the ending. With id5Tweaker, you can increase the texture resolution and go over the 60FPS cap. Playing at 144FPS eliminates the texture pop-in.

id5Tweaker didn't seem to work for me at all, what have you done on your side to make it work? I followed instructions very closely.

Loved the first one, biggest issue was that despite having an insanely powerful desktop at the time the texture pop in was horrible. Animation on some of the character models was cool though.

Glad to get another one, deserves a sequel.

Follow the instructions here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=855039544. It works on 64-bit Rage as well.

Rage is the first game that I, despite enjoying, never finished due to the sheer amount of bugs causing endless crashing. I look forward to Rage 2 being less buggy when it's release in 2044.

I loved RAGE, bought it in a Steam sale ages ago, and then eventually played it, cracking game i thought.

Rage was very good but the issues right from release was horrendous and almost made you want to RAGE but the ending left a lot of scope for a sequel so lets see how that goes.

One of the most boring games I ever played gets a sequel. Yey.

I tried to play this. After about 2 hours of non-stop yawning, I figured this is the worst game ever made by id software. High production value, zero gameplay fun.

As I've said, I followed instructions. Exactly the same instructions. It doesn't work at all. So my assumption is it conflicts with something. Have you used RTSS together with it?
