Talk Amongst Yourselves

More than Just Asteroids Crash to Earth In Rage
The post-apocalyptic world of Rage was created by an asteroid impact in the year 2029. You’d have to assume the lucky survivors would rather not see objects plummet from the sky, right? Imagine their surprise then, and that of the player, when they see a vehicle launch skywards and, after a brief spell up there,…
