What is Rage 2 about?

Rage 2 is the sequel to the post-apocalyptic Rage, which was released by id Software in 2010. The series imagines a world devastated by a meteor strike, home to mutants and humans known as Ark survivors. You’ll play as Walker, a human character and orphan, who is intent on taking down a malevolent dictatorship known as the Authority.

The story isn’t going to win any prizes for originality, but then Rage is really about exploring the map in an array of armoured cars and felling enemies with the outlandish weaponry on offer.
