Open-world FPS Rage will offer extra single-player content to those who buy the game new, id Software creative director Tim Willits has confirmed.

Willits revealed in a recent Eurogamer interview that new game purchases will come with a code to download sewer areas, accessed via hatches in the game world.

“We have the first-time buyer stuff with all the sewers,” he confirmed.

“If you bought the game new, that would be open for you. You still have to download it, but you don’t have to pay for it. Those hatches are all over. Most people never find them. But as soon as you do, you’re like, oh. And then you start to look for it. That’s our first-time buyer incentive.”

However, it doesn’t sound like these sewer areas are all that important to the game.

“Most people never even see it. I can tell you, some people will buy Rage, download that, and still never set foot in those things,” said Willilts. “They just won’t. I think that’s fair. It’s cool. It’s outside the main path. We’re not detracting from anything.”

Rage will be release October 7 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
