id's Rage gets a release date

id's next big thing, the FPS/vehicle combat game Rage finally gets a release date. But the wait's a long one...

Hot news hot from the hottest place in gaming at the moment - Quakecon! It's all Rage all the time over there, even on the iPhone, but the best news for fans of the upcoming FPS Rage is that it's just gotten a release date.

The date is September 16 next year, on all major platforms.

That's right - 13 months from now we can step into id's latest post-apocalyptic vision and tool around the wastes in cars and shooting stuff up in classic, old-school style. "RAGE will set the new standard for first-person shooters," said Vlatko Andonov, president of Bethesda Softworks (who owns id these days). "The awards and buzz coming out of E3, and at QuakeCon, shows that we've got a huge hit in the works with this game and we are really looking forward to getting it into everyone's hands."

For a taste of the game itself, check out our E3 preview.

Whilst it may not be quite the vehicular combat game I'd hoped, I'm still excited. And at least they're being honest about the release date.
