RAGE 2, unlike its predecessor, won't contain any multiplayer modes when it arrives next year. The original RAGE had co-op and a vehicular combat mode, but developers id Software and Avalanche Studios are putting all their effort into a solo experience.
Speaking with Eurogamer, Magnus Nedfors, a designer at Avalanche, said, "We're just focussed on the best open world single player game that we can make. I personally really believe you can make single player games really fantastic, so that's what we're focussed on."
With Avalanche on board, it's not a huge surprise that multiplayer is absent -- the developer has yet to implement multiplayer in any of its games. Still, with both teams collaborating on just single player, we should end up with a very robust shooter. Here's hoping.
Are you pleased to see RAGE 2 go solo, or were you hoping for some multiplayer? Don't get yourself in a rage in the comments below.

great
And that's a day one for me. Looked sweet and that makes it a must buy. Oh man great news
There goes my hope for RAGE 2 being our next Borderlands
Great news. Should be great
Ok now Im getting it on day one. 😁 😃
@SMKpaladin That what Borderlands 3 is for. 😁
This just made me even more excited for this game!!!
@Flaming_Kaiser May or will be eventually someday in the future. Right now Borderlands 3 "is" nothing but speculation.
Great single player.is the best word up son
Good; the original Rage's multiplayer was garbage.
From the initial released trailer/teaser, I don't have much interest for this game as it seems like a great premise/setting to throw in bunch of multiplayer modes all over this game especially with the current 'Battle Royale' trend in gaming.
This confirmed news greatly increases my interest for this game as now I can imagine this game could be the epic version of the underrated Mad Max game. Probably not day 1 but definitely pick it up down the road.
Oh. I typically like it when “single player only” is announced, but I was hoping to play this story co-op with a friend, a la borderlands. Not sure how to feel now.
Not for me.
Single Player Only Games should be engrossing adventure/action/horror/multiple choice/roleplaying games that you can play at your own pace.
Something ridiculous like this SHOULD be multiplayer.
I don't need PVP but would love COOP.
I'll pass.
I enjoyed the first game and really like the look of this.The fact they have promised its a single player only game marks it as another definate buy!
Strange decision. This will end up half price quickly and the market will be fllooded with 2nd hand copies for sale.
Thats lame, I thought the idea of open world pvp with customizable vehicles sounded awesome, still going to pick this one up after a few reviews are out.
