Hvis der er noget id Software og Avalanche Studios har kommet med skiftende udmeldinger om i forbindelse med Rage 2, så er det om hvorvidt historien spiller en afgørende del af oplevelsen, eller om den tager bagsædet. Tidligere har de sagt at historien er vigtig, men nu lader den netop til at komme i anden række.
I et interview med VG247 fortæller instruktør Magnus Nedfors nemlig, at det først og fremmest handler om at have det sjovt i den åbne verden, og at historien kommer efter.
"I will not sit here and say the deep story is why you should play RAGE 2 - it's an action game. But we're trying to tell small stories, both by interactions with the NPCs that you meet, and also through the environment. It's something that we want to push more and more."
"There are many good storytelling games that are open world games second, but the common mistake is to tell a linear story. Then you're failing in giving the player all that freedom. I think the whole industry needs to find the magic moment where somebody comes up with an evolution in open world storytelling."
