Bethesda and id Software have released a new trailer for RAGE, the long-awaited post apocalyptic first person shooter and id's first major title since Doom 3 in 2004. Today's clip is the first new footage from the game we've had since last year's E3 and although it's perhaps not as awe-striking as when id first debuted their "id tech 5" engine back in 2007, it's still arguably right there at the forefront of graphical prowess in 2011.

RAGE features intense first-person shooter action, breakneck vehicle combat, an expansive world to explore and jaw-dropping graphics powered by id’s revolutionary id Tech™ 5 technology. Set in the not-too-distant future after an asteroid impacts Earth, you emerge into a vast wasteland to discover humanity working to rebuild itself against such forces as bandit gangs, mutants, and more. From the pioneers of first-person shooter gameplay, RAGE promises an experience like no other.

Check out the trailer, titled "Untethered" -- which features and original backing-track titled Burning Jacob’s Ladder from Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age, Gutter Twins) -- embedded below or click here for the HD option.

Rage is due on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in Australian on September 15 2011.
