Bethesda have announced that Rage 2 is going to get even angrier when the first expansion is released, next week. On September 19, players will be able to purchase the first expansion, Rise of the Ghosts and then get to experience a brand-new region, face a lethal new faction, and gain access to a new weapon and abilities.

Of course, the question remains, who are the Ghosts, well the Ghosts were once a terror in the wasteland. Ruthless, vicious, tactical and cruel, they took what they wanted and left no survivors. Following the Authority Wars, they were nowhere to be found. At the time, many people assumed they had simply been wiped out and they began to fade into wasteland legend. In reality, they had found a higher calling; a strange woman named Iris promised them power and glory if they did everything she said. Iris and the Ghosts fled to the Overgrown City, where for years they underwent intensive brainwashing and were subjected to experiments that left them with powerful and mysterious nanotrite abilities.

Now they’re ready to reclaim their place in the wasteland. Under the watchful eyes of Iris, the Ghosts will prove to be a formidable new foe for Ranger Walker. He’ll need to navigate a huge new region called the Overgrown City and put a stop to their uprising before the Ghosts can gain a foothold in the wasteland. Luckily, he’ll have the new Void ability and the Feltrite Laser Launcher to add to his already-impressive arsenal. Rise of the Ghosts also introduces the new Ghost Motorcycle to the game, which players will be able to find in the Overgrown City and bring back to their Garage.

The Rise of the Ghosts Expansion includes:

• New story

• New enemy faction – Ghosts

• New region to explore – Overgrown City

• New weapon – Feltrite Laser Launcher

• New Ability – Void

• New Vehicle – Ghost Motorcycle
