De ontwikkelaars bij Avalanche Studios en id Software hebben niet stilgezeten nadat RAGE 2 op de markt kwam. Er werd ons al veel nieuwe gratis én betaalde content beloofd en die belofte begint nu zo zijn vruchten af te werpen.

Met “Update 2”, zoals deze bekend staat, kunnen we een New Game+ starten wat waarschijnlijk nodig zal zijn voor de nieuwe moeilijkheidsgraad genaamd Ultra Nightmare. Ook zijn er wat nieuwe cheats en een heus voice pack van niemand minder dan B.J. Blazkowicz van Wolfenstein.

De nieuwe features komen ook met nieuwe Trophies en die zijn als volgt:

Nightmare
-Complete the game on Nightmare Difficulty

I am Death Incarnate!
-Complete the game on Ultra Nightmare Difficulty

Heavy Boots
-Complete the game in Ironman Mode
