Rage 2 developer id Software confirms that the game will feature a female protagonist option. The studio discussed the female character option in a new interview about the game.

Players have been wanting to know about the gender of Rage 2‘s player character ever since the game was announced back in May .

Rage 2 Has a Playable Female Character

In an interview with Game Informer (in the video above) id Software studio director Tim Willits answers a series of quickfire questions about Rage 2. During the interview (at around 5:12 in), Willits confirms that Rage 2 will have a playable female character as players can choose whether they go through the game as a male or female protagonist.

Willits explains that this is why the player character is called “Walker” and doesn’t have a first name. This allows Rage 2 to accommodate either a male or female protagonist.

Willits does say that your character speaks “a lot” throughout the game. However, apart from the character’s voice, it doesn’t sound as though the game will change besides that, depending on which gender option you select.

Rage 2‘s female protagonist option isn’t the only way that id Software is hoping to give players more control over how they play. Although the game doesn’t feature a levelling up mechanic, Willits does say that there is a “skill tree” which will give players lots of “freedom of choice” in their playstyle.

Willits also confirms that Rage 2 will feature “lots of loot” as well as “crafting.” It hasn’t been confirmed exactly how extensive this crafting mechanic will be and what sort of loot we’ll be collecting but given that this is an id Software (and Avalanche Studios) game, a lot of that loot will probably be some very big guns.

Rage 2 will be released on May 14, 2019 on Windows PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
