RAGE 2-Themed Dreamcast Being Given Away via Twitter Contest

RAGE 2’s marketing has put a lot of emphasis on the game’s colorful look, crazy variety of weapons, and its over-the-top, bizarre humor. This trailer, in particular, highlights that, but so does the fact that you can unlock the old NBA Jam announcer to dictate the action also tips you off to the type of offbeat attitude the game wants to convey. In keeping with that vein, it also seems Bethesda has decided to give away a special RAGE 2-themed Sega Dreamcast, able to play the game.

You read that right. The contest runs from today, May 1^st, to May 3^rd, and they are giving away a Dreamcast, the infamous console whose failure was a leading factor to Sega going from a hardware producer to a third party software publisher. The system is apparently modded in some way to where it can actually play the game. You can see the Twitter account below for contest details and proof that the system plays RAGE 2. It’s not clear if the system can play other Dreamcast titles or if this is more of a Dreamcast shell over unrelated hardware. Most likely the latter, but honestly, who the hell knows with a promotion like this. To enter, all you need to do is follow the official Twitter on a public account and retweet the below tweet.

RAGE 2 will release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on May 14^th. This will be the only Dreamcast that the game will be released on.
