Though there has been no talk of follow-ups to
RAGE since the release of id Software's first-person shooter, Bethesda's Pete Hines tells
Eurogamer that it's "certainly our hope and certainly our intent" that this becomes a big franchise. "We're looking at doing some things with Rage. But obviously the first thing out of anybody's lips now when we talk about id is not, hey, what else is up with Rage? They're asking the question they've been asking for five years, six years, seven years, which is, where's Doom 4? What about Doom 4?," he explains. "As far as where we are with Rage, the future for that is still TBD." Along the way he addresses other recent rumors to some extent or another, saying
DOOM 4 is still in development, and that he can't say whether Human Head has been removed as developer for
Prey 2.
