Surprising no one, Bethesda officially revealed Rage 2 today with a live-action trailer that shows a bunch of people dressed in post-apocalyptic garb but with a goofier vibe than what you'd expect from something like Mad Max. Bethesda's website subsequently revealed more details about the upcoming game, including platforms and more.
One interesting detail is that Rage 2 is a collaboration between Just Cause 3 developer Avalanche Studios (who also developed 2015's Mad Max video game) and Rage developer id Software. We're not sure how extensive the collaboration is, but we'll learn more on May 15. That's when a gameplay trailer is scheduled to arrive. Rage 2 headlines today's GameSpot Daily, but we've got a bunch of other stories ready to go in 30 minutes or less.
If you missed out on buying an NES Classic when it was first available, Nintendo has confirmed when it's bringing the mini console back. The company announced June 29 as the date and reiterated that both the NES Classic and SNES Classic will be available through the end of the year. We talk our favourite retro games and more in the video above.
In other news, Overwatch is about to kick off another anniversary event. It's set to bring back Deathmatch with a new map specific to the mode. More than 50 new cosmetic items will be available, in addition to all of the ones you may have missed out on last year. On top of all that, a Legendary Edition of the game is launching the same day as the anniversary event: May 22. We discuss all the details and everything Overwatch in today's episode.
Lastly, Divinity: Original Sin II is coming to consoles this summer, but if you're an Xbox One owner, you can start playing it this week. It's coming to the Xbox Game Preview program on May 16 and will include the first three hours of the game. Thankfully, you'll be able to transfer your progress to the full game. The console version is called the Definitive Edition, but there's currently no word on any special content.
And that's what you'll find in this episode, but be sure to tune in every day of the week at 11 AM PST/2 PM EST/7 PM BST/4 AM AEST for another episode of GameSpot Daily. We cover the most exciting gaming news in 30 minutes or less.
