RAGE 2 releases on Tuesday, promising tens of hours of explosive, joyful action. However, developer Avalanche Studios doesn't plan on stopping there after it announced a ton of post-launch content coming to the game over the coming months that'll extend the experience's legs through until at least the end of 2019. A lot of it will be free, while larger expansions need to be paid for.
After the game launches on 14th May, the title will receive a new world event every month throughout the summer, alongside further Wasteland challenges, skins, and cheat codes. All of this will be free except for the weapon skins, of which only some won't charge for money.
Then, in August, the first paid for expansion arrives - titled Rise of the Ghosts. It'll add new story missions, another enemy faction, a new area to explore, along with extra weapons and abilities. A second expansion pack is expected to launch towards the end of the year, and although it doesn't have a name yet, it is expected to bring with it a similar list of additions.
Is this enough to make you keep ahold of your copy of RAGE 2, rather than trading it in? Show off your loadout and abilities in the comments below.

I’m great with post launch support, and thankfully a lot of this is free, but with a timeframe like that it just feels like the content is either gonna be short and rushed or they did the whole ‘cut from the game and label as dlc’ approach.
n.i.c.e that's the way to do dlc.word up son
Fallout 76 and Anthem have conditioned me to roll my eyes at any AAA game with a roadmap. I just hope RAGE 2 is a good game at launch.
When can we expect PushSquare’s review to drop?
Here is a road map that we may or may not stick too.
My initial reaction to these graphics is always smh but now I'm beginning to wonder if half my age me would be very excited.
At least now I make the distinction between where things like this could work - online fighting games like Destiny and Splatoon - and where I don't think they belong - single player story driven games like Spiderman, Tomb Raider and FFXV. I know part of the FFXV ongoing sags was the addition of multi-player but the single player base game looks half-finished now compared to the final product. GoW and DQXI show you can sell a base game that's mostly complete.
Gaming next Gen is so not going to be for me. 😝
I know a lot of people cringe when they hear “road map,” but after Division 2 and how that’s been handled, I think there’s proof that road maps can be done right.
After Division 2 and Assassin Creed Odyssey I'm back onboard with this entire concept.
So much bang for the buck and fresh content it is crazy. Hope this keeps it up
Already have my pre-order so in one way or another.
When I heard roadmap now all I think of is a child's treasure map in crayon that Is wildly innacurate(you know there never will be sharks with fricken lasers on their heads) and impossible to follow(there is not even a tree here!?!).
After Just Cause 4 I am very leery of this game.
Sounds like itd be a good idea to just wait a few months.
Sounds good, will get it when it’s around £20
This game is all about trying too hard.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
well this means I will wait for the year edition on mabye ps5? Mabye

After the issues with Just Cause 4 (especially on PC), they could sure do without the moron running the social media account.
I hate "roadmaps" its pay now get your full game later NTY. I only buy games with a big expansion package.
Had this pre ordered but when I saw they released a road map I cancelled that pre order. It feels like cut content to me. I'll wait for a price drop.
