Rage 2 coop: Will Rage 2 have co-op play?

Players are wondering if Rage 2 will feature co-op gameplay. The original Rage featured nine co-op missions known as The Wasteland Legends. But it seems that The Wasteland Legends won’t exactly appear in Rage 2.

To the disappointment of fans everywhere, it does not appear that Rage 2 will feature co-op or any sort of multiplayer modes.

During Quakecon 2018, id Software’s former co-owner and studio director Tim Willits had the following to say about multiplayer in Rage 2:

“We will have a social component but it’s not your typical multiplayer. We’re not quite ready to talk about it but we understand community is important, and we understand connecting with other gamers is important. But there’s not a true what I call ‘classic’ multiplayer, so you’re not running around together with your friends, because we feel we have enough hours of entertainment for your money. We feel like we have a good offering.”

This indicates that there will not be a co-op mode in Rage 2. It’s unclear at the moment what the “social component” Willits described actually entails.
