id Software Says ‘RAGE 2’ on Switch Faces “Challenges”
Those Nintendo Switch fans hoping to see Bethesda’s upcoming RAGE 2 appear on the console may want to look elsewhere for the time being.
In an interview with DualShockers at PAX East 2019, developer id Software studio director Tim Willits did confirm that while the devs did look into porting their upcoming open-world post-apocalyptic shooter to the Switch, as is the case with many of these games, the Switch’s hardware shortcomings are the sticking point.
“Well, we’ve been looking into [porting the game to the Switch]. It’s just the technology, there are some challenges,” says Willits. “But we’re always looking for future platforms and future people to work with. So, we like to investigate, but we have no plans for that right now.”
Bethesda has been successful in the past in bringing some of their hits to the Switch, such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, DOOM, and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. And Capcom was able (albeit in Japan only) to bring Resident Evil VII to the Switch. So who knows? Perhaps once the title is released, Bethesda will be able to work on bringing it to Nintendo’s console?
RAGE 2 will release on May 14 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
The discovery of life beyond Earth leads to paranoia and danger for a family in the new trailer for The Outer Threat.
The sci-fi thriller heads to Digital and VOD on July 10, 2026.
In The Outer Threat, “After making a groundbreaking extraterrestrial discovery, astrophysicists Daniel and Michelle are forced to flee from home with their family — pursued through the countryside by a relentless and anonymous assailant. As their flight unfolds, the line between cosmic revelation and human paranoia blurs, leading to a tense and emotional confrontation that challenges the boundaries of understanding, science, and survival.“
The film comes from writer-director William Woods and stars Constance Wu, Mark O’Brien, William Fichtner, Callista Crowe, Isaac Smelcer-Zhang, Oscar Hsu, and Murray Furrow.
Maddy Falle, Albert Shin, and Allison White produce. Executive producers include Rob McGillivray, Ben Stranahan, Tom Spriggs, John Hansen III, Patrick Vipond, Jared Blaichman, Jonah Blaichman, and Randall Okita.
The Outer Threat arrives on the heels of Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, circling similar territory. The truth about the existence of aliens leads to danger in the trailer below.
